Although we can’t deny that the best parks in the state are off the beaten path, it isn’t always practical to travel hundreds of miles to enjoy the great outdoors. Those who live the 9-5 life will be delighted to learn that many cities have urban parks that offer plenty of free activities and sunshine to brighten up even the most monotonous of days. Klyde Warren Park in Dallas has brought the city together in unimaginable ways since its construction, and everyone should visit at least once.

Situated directly over the Woodall Rogers Freeway, the park serves as a central gathering place for Dallesites and visitors alike. It spans 5.2 acres and includes a performance pavilion, walking trails, dog + children’s parks, and a large grassy area for playing.
