[1] Federal Judge Barefoot Sanders resolved a lawsuit by issuing an order resulting in the creation of a nature center on the site.

The Great Trinity Forest urban park is located within the Texas Blackland Prairies ecoregion.

Habitats within it include bottomland hardwood forests, riparian zones, wetlands, open water ponds, grasslands, and the Trinity River itself.

The center also hosts community events, such as the annual farm-to-table outdoor dinner, Songbird Supper.

Connecting the Trinity River Audubon Center to a trailhead at Elam Road, the AT&T Trail is approximately 4.25 miles long.
