THE MUST-VISIT PARKS IN THE PARK CITIES THIS SPRING
UNWIND AND EXPLORE
Every Sunday, I explore a different corner of Dallas and invite you to join me for Wanderlust Sundays on Instagram. The Park Cities are well known for many things—iconic Highland Park Village, tree-lined streets, and beautifully designed homes—but what often goes unnoticed are the parks that bring a quiet, grounding beauty to the community. This week, I want to shine a light on those spaces that deserve just as much appreciation. One park that has always had my heart is Lakeside Park in Highland Park. There’s something about this space—and others throughout the area—that feels like it holds the soul of the neighborhood. On sunny mornings before the Texas heat rolls in, you’ll find groups picnicking by the water, couples sharing quiet conversations, and people capturing meaningful milestones. It’s a favorite backdrop for everything from engagement and prom photos to weekend walks with loved ones. These parks offer more than just a pretty view—they invite us to slow down and connect with our surroundings.

And it’s not just the people who bring these parks to life. If you pause for a moment, you’ll notice the ducks—waddling along the banks or gliding peacefully across the water. Their presence adds a bit of magic, a quiet symbol of the charm and serenity these green spaces offer. I’m not discovering these places for the first time—I’ve known and loved them for years. But I want to share them with those who may not see them beyond the drive-by glances. These parks are an essential part of what makes the Park Cities so special: places where nature, community, and memory come together in the most beautiful way.
