Kelly
Park stretches along the Trinity River, including the two side levees and the
floodplain between them, from just north of the White Settlement bridge for
almost 1.5 miles to where it reaches Rockwood park at its northeastern end and
Ohio Garden Road at its northern end.
Segments of the Trinity Trail system run along each of the levees, and
Brookside Drive and Rockwood Park Drive parallel the sides of the park for most
of the way [map]. The main development in the park, besides
the trails, is the Kelly Park Baseball Field at the southern end. The wooded area shown on the map as
“Greenwood Memorial Park” is part of the Greenwood Cemetery and eventually will
become part of the cemetery complex.
Crestwood
Park is a beautiful little neighborhood park at the northeast corner of Kelly
Park, at the intersection of Bailey Avenue and Rockwood Park Drive.
