    My visit to Cameron Park in Waco was an exceptional experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for outdoor activities and scenic beauty. The park, with its sprawling 400 acres, offers a perfect blend of nature, recreation, and relaxation.The park’s trails are a standout feature, catering to all levels of hikers and bikers. The River Trail along the Brazos River provides stunning views and is ideal for a leisurely walk or bike ride.

The panoramic views from this cliff overlook are breathtaking, especially at sunrise or sunset. It’s a perfect place for photography, picnics, or simply taking in the natural beauty of the area.Cameron Park Zoo is another highlight within the park. The zoo is well-maintained and houses a diverse array of animals in naturalistic settings, making it a fun and educational experience for families and visitors of all ages.The park also boasts numerous picnic areas, playgrounds, and open spaces, making it an ideal spot for family gatherings and outdoor activities.

    Beautiful! Not very crowded. It looks like their Frisbee course is cool because they had tons of players. My Mom can't walk far with her bum leg so we loved that you can see so much beauty from the car. We did walk a bit. I loved the animal statues, the amazing views, and the beautiful river.

    This is my favorite park in North Texas so far, everything you'd want in a park is here, simple trails, difficult trails, river trails, and so much more. It'd take a long time to learn all of it, it's very well maintained, and feels a lot like parks I've been to in the midwest. Can't get better than this.

    My favorite park! Every time I’m in Waco I love going here. There’s something to do for everyone. The trails are so fun, and there are so many experience levels, and there are tons of areas to sit and relax or have a picnic. The views are unmatched on Lover’s Leap and Circle Point. There’s just so much to do and see.

    This park is really nice and big and peaceful. We really enjoyed walking down by the river. There is also a very nice blue bonnet field. The bloom is to the fullest right now. It’s definitely worth checking out. We saw people were doing barbecue. There were a couple of pavilion. I would be visiting again if I’m going to waco.
