Find a trail less traveled

Whether you were born and raised in Dallas or you’ve recently moved here from another city, you most likely know that Dallas has more than 300 beautiful parks and 160 miles of urban trails. Some destinations are well known while other sites you may not know exist.

In addition to the park loop trails listed below, we have many linear trails that connect multiple parks, greenbelts, schools, neighborhoods, employment centers, entertainment districts and transit centers across the city. Find a list of linear trails here!

Here are some of our favorite parks and trails for you to explore:

During this critical time, parks, trails and open spaces can continue to be used in a safe manner to allow people to enjoy the mental and physical health benefits these spaces provide. If you visit a Dallas park or trail, we encourage you to follow these recommendations:

Refrain from using parks or trails if you are exhibiting symptoms.

Follow CDC’s guidance on personal hygiene prior to and during use of parks or trails.

Prepare for limited access to public restrooms or water fountains.

While on trails, warn other users of your presence and as you pass, and step aside to let others pass.

Observe CDC’s minimum recommended physical distancing of 6 feet from other individuals at all times. If this is not possible, users should find an alternate location or depart that space.

Refrain from using playground equipment, sport courts (basketball, tennis, pickleball, etc.), dog parks, and other public park amenities.
