Native Texas Park - Dallas (TX)

5 /5 Marco Crosland: Awesome in the spring with beautiful flowers and trails! The park has native north Texas plants and gives an idea of what north Texas used to be like back before all of the development. It has trails all around the Bush Presidential Center. An auditorium is great for groups to have classroom discussions. The grounds are watered with a reservoir system that collects and naturally filters rain water to then be used to irrigate.

5 /5 Alexa Silva: This is an absolute hidden treasure in the middle of Dallas! An amazing array of native Texas plants and trees, making it an oasis for pollinators in its urban setting. You can escape the city and get a tranquil walk in, just a beautiful place! More people should know about and visit this gem.

5 /5 MM Simon: Along with just general enjoyment, the Laura W. Bush Native Texas Park is an laboratory of learning about nature! So many of our children dont know the names of our native plants, and theyre really missing out on an important connection with the natural world. Go here and show them! The park is loaded with an astounding variety of native wildflowers, grasses, trees and shrubs--free for the viewing. Although Spring is definitely the most beautiful time, there are interesting things to see throughout the seasons if you take the time to look. The park re-creates different ecological areas common in Texas--Tallgrass prairie, Savanna and Woodland, etc. They also have implemented a unique system of re-using rainwater run-off that keeps it all onsite rather than entering city sewers. You can download a family scavenger hunt and a self-guided tour from the website, too. This park is a wonderful gift to the community!

5 /5 T G: Such a little surprise in the middle of Dallas. Gorgeous native plants, lots of wildlife (rabbits, birds, bugs), and perfectly kept walkways. The perfect definition of a hidden gem.
