SaveWestern Heritage Park, aka Lions Park in local speak, attempts to answer the question, "How much beauty and variety can you pack into a postage stamp-sized piece of land?" "Plenty" is the park's answer. The WHiP is blessed with good genes--a creek surrounded by hard woods, rolling terrain, epic rocks, and colorful history. The 5 miles of trail is open to biking, hiking, walking, and trail running. Dogs are welcome on a leash, and "doggie doo" bags are provided near the trailhead kiosk. There is a second trailhead kiosk located at the old back gate (NW 4th and NW 25th Streets). Interpretive signs provide insight into the area's past and are courtesy of Texas Frontier Trails and area businesses. A porta-potty and picnic tables complete the trail amenity list. There is no potable water in the park.
Western Heritage Park Green Trail: Beginner
Western Heritage Park Blue Trail: Intermediate
Western Heritage Park Red Trail: Advanced
When you survive a full lap of WHiP, consider a second. The alternate lines will change things up and bring your ride total to 10 miles.
Always wear a helmet; carry plenty of water; and watch out for snakes.
The trails were built and are maintained by the Weatherford Mountain Bike Club.

google parking directions Disclaimer:
The park is open 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Entry is auto-gated. Locked in? Pull forward slowly and wait for the gate to open (gate swings in, so don't pull too far forward). Still locked in? Call the Mineral Wells Police Department non-emergency line--remember to say you are at Lions Park. The locals know. The locals know.
