Dallas Park and Recreation is among the nation's largest municipal park systems with nearly 24,000 acres of park lands encompassing 379 parks, lakes, and miles of urban trails.

It creates livable communities and improves the health and wellness of families through parks and year-round recreation.

The popular Dallas park has been completely redesigned.

Now, it features a picnic pavilion, play area, tennis court and walking paths through a grassy meadow. Lush landscaping and expanded green space and lawns add to the park's natural beauty. 

Dallas Independent School District provided a playground and other amenities for the park, which is adjacent to an elementary school.

Joining east Dallas residents for a ribbon-cutting will be Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Adam Medrano, Dallas Park and Recreation Board President Robert Abtahi and Board Member Jesse Moreno.
