Trail Safety Tips

While enjoying any trail or park, users should stay vigilant and prepared.

  1. Stay Alert: Always be aware of your surroundings. Avoid wearing noise-canceling headphones. Trust your instincts and immediately report any suspicious activity.
  2. Bring a Friend or Inform Someone: Whenever possible, use the buddy system when exploring Irving’s trails. If you prefer to go solo, make sure someone knows your route and your expected return time.
  3. Keep Personal Belongings Secure: Avoid carrying unnecessary valuables while on the trail, but always have your cell phone. Keep your phone and other necessary items in secure, zipped compartments and consider using a safety pouch.
  4. Use Well-Lit and Well-Populated Trails: Stick to trails that are popular and well-lit, especially if you're heading out early in the morning or late in the evening.
  5. Carry Personal Protection: Consider carrying personal protection items such as a safety alarm or pepper spray. Ensure they are easily accessible and you know how to use them properly.
  6. Emergency Contact: Always have your phone readily available in case of an emergency. Save emergency contacts for quick access and have location-sharing enabled if possible.
  7. Be Aware of Trail Closures or Alerts: Check for any local alerts or closures, as incidents or weather conditions may affect certain areas. The City of Irving provides updates on trail conditions to help you plan a safe outing.
