City Park - Dallas (TX)

4 /5 Nadya Masterova: Lovely place to visit and experience “good old days”. Unfortunately due to lack of financing this place is slowly falling apart… it looks lowkey abandoned. Most of the buildings is pretty bad shape and the once that are open half empty inside. Very sad to see such a gem in that sad state.

3 /5 Trey Tollison: This free park has plenty of parking and is full of beautiful buildings ranging in time from the mid 1800s to early 1900s. They were moved here from all over the Dallas area and rebuilt on the site of the original spring that fed Dallas its water in the early days. Unfortunately, they seem to be falling into disrepair due to lack of funding. When we visited everything was a little overgrown and shabby. No events were being held and there was no staff or security in the park. Most buildings have signs giving you a very brief insight into their history but thats all. Everything was locked. In a few cases you can peer into a window. The fountain was running which was nice. I love history and you can see the care and passion that went into securing these buildings and creating this park. However, that now seems to be missing. Signs telling you to be careful when visiting the petting zoo hang on rotten posts. Buildings have signs saying they are being repaired that themselves now need repair. It gives ghost town vibes or being on an abandoned movie set. If you have time I think this is still worth a visit if only to show the powers that be that the history is important and should be preserved better than it is now.

5 /5 John Cote: My wife is a Miller. The Millermore house was her great great grandmothers home. It was closed for renovation so we couldnt go inside. Also next to the house was the log cabin she lived in. The whole park was well done and lots of buildings laid out as a small town. Easy parking on site.

5 /5 Luke Cardy: This place is absolutely beautiful! We went on a lovely sunny Saturday afternoon and there were only 4 other people in the whole place. The buildings were beautiful to see (even if some of them were a little bit run down. It would have been nice to go in but I’m just grateful we got to take some really cool photos and it was all free of charge. It was free to get in and there was a friendly security guard on the gate. It was in a bit of a sketchy area so I would not advise waking there, make sure you get an Uber.

5 /5 Tiffany Tureman: Had the best time with family at free place to learn some history and just enjoy company and walk around. The security guards are absolutely the most friendly people Ive met as well!
