Nice park but not much blooming yet. Nice areas to walk. Found a few sparse Bluebonnets and wild flowers.

Very pretty. My girlfriend took me here to experience some of the local plants and flowers of Texas. I had never been to Texas before. I really enjoyed it. We walked around and got some exercise as well as enjoyed the beauty. I love wild flowers and see a whole field full was so much fun.

I like this place! Maybe would be cool if the gravel trails had a bit more in some areas, maybe some garden art. The Amphitheater is really cool, love the fountain. Maybe in the future, when they recoat/paint they can add sand to the mixture to prevent it being slick from rain. Of course I was wearing Hey Dudes when I first visited/had that issue. 😅 Overall, it's a really cute place. It's great for a picnic date with a cute/good walk to help break ice/provide talking points!! Overall 4 stars because there's nothing that makes me/others in our party go "I LOVE it" but we did like it!

One of many hidden places in Cameron Park. Beautiful and peaceful with the birds and other sounds. Several seating areas overlooking a valley. The traffic noise the only indication that you are actually in the city. Great place to unwind and de-stress.
