Description: There are two parks: one on the north end of Holford Rd. and one at the south end. The Garland Police Department handles security surveillance at the Spring Creek Forest Preserve. Surveillance is explicitly focused on the main vehicle parking lot and trailhead entrance (1770 Holford Rd) to deter vehicle break-ins and vandalism. The cameras are managed directly by local city police, rather than private park security, to aid in active investigations or monitoring. Independent researchers and the preservation society occasionally deploy motion-activated wildlife/game cameras deeply embedded in the woods.
Plenty of trails and places to go into the bushes. Very private. The portapotty has been replaced, and the new one does not have a Gloryhole. If you follow the little trail straight back, there is a big tree with a limb growing sideways about 3' off the ground, very secluded and a little to the left of that, a big flat rock with a 2' drop to a ledge behind it; both are great places to play.
