Piedras Marcadas Basin in Taylor Ranch is a wide-open space filled with large, established trees. This area isn’t manicured or developed into a traditional park, it’s raw, grounded land that serves as a green corridor within the surrounding neighborhoods. It provides space to walk, reflect, or simply take in the natural elements without distraction.
The Piedras Marcadas Trail cuts directly through the basin. Starting from Eagle Ranch Road NW, it runs along the landscape and loops back near Paseo Del Norte Blvd NW, ultimately connecting back to Piedras Marcadas Park. Whether you’re out for a brisk walk, a jog, or a peaceful bike ride, the trail gives you a defined path with open views and the shade of tall trees along parts of the route.
Although the Piedras Marcadas Basin may appear simple at first glance, its connection to nearby trails and parks makes it a meaningful part of the Taylor Ranch outdoor experience.

If you’re someone who values time outdoors without the crowd or commercial design, this area offers space to move and breathe.
