Turtle Creek Park — Attraction in Dallas

I really love this park it is so beautiful it's right on Turtle Creek Avenue on the other side of the street from the creek. The only thing that makes this place bad is that there was a very beautiful statue there from I think the 1930s, it was a beautiful work of art.
