Coppell Nature Park
/Coppell Nature Park is about 15-minutes from my parents’ home in Carrollton, TX. I enjoyed my first outing there last month. It is a 66-acre park surrounded by ball fields and playgrounds of Wagon Wheel Park. There is a Biodiversity Education Center there is well (although I didn’t go in). The trails are mulch covered…the vegetation leafing out for spring. I took some macro pictures of ‘new leaves.’

There is good signage on trees which would make it easy to teach yourself tree recognition….even in the winter! Persimmons are one of my favorites with their blocky bark.
The only wildflower I saw during my short walk was common dewberries….prickles.
The forest views are good but the sound of airplanes overhead is a frequent distraction. I’ll have to go back next month explore more fully (I’ll print the trail map) and see how spring is progressing.
