You can have the best of everything in Dallas with Klyde Warren Park. You stand over Woodall Rogers traffic like a god amongst men. You get a skyline backdrop. Lifesize chess. Ping Pong tables. And even food trucks. Sometimes, there's even yoga going on!
Just outside of the city lies nine miles of hiking trails and over 600 acres of God's promise land, Texas. The Cedar Ridge Nature Preserve is the perfect escape from the busy-ness of city life and your chance to be one with nature once again.

An Uptown gem with calm, trees, and skyline views. Perfect for a picnic, dog walk, or a quiet moment with a book. Connect with your neighbors at community events like Movies in The Park, yoga, and more.
Skip the Katy Trail. It's crowded and you're constantly on alert for people on bikes, scooters or the newest Nike's nearly running you over. Pop off into Reverchon Park and find a moment of zen.
This South Dallas beauty sports over 20 acres of greenery, fields to play on and a rich history told in their art displays highlighting African American businesses, civic leaders and educators that have built South Dallas.

About 20 minutes from Dallas proper, Joya is officially the country’s first glow-in-the-dark, inclusive playground. Think LED-lit swings, glowing obstacle courses, and a massive 27-foot climbing sphere. It's fun that literally lights up after dark.
Bridges aren't JUST made for driving. They can even be made for walking or giving a different perspective. Pull yourself just a tad bit west of downtown and you'll see the full image of our beautiful city as well as plenty of green space provided by the Trinity River.
