Lakeside Park — Attraction in Highland Park

Lakeside Park is a very interesting place. First of all it has an unusual configuration. From the south, heading north from Armstrong Ave and parallel with Lakeside Dr the park is maybe only 50 yards wide, though that varies quite a bit. Its shape is like a long skinny rectangle which has partially melted.

The park has to my knowledge no signage. The only informational notices are those detailing items of alleged jistorical interest. You just have to know about the park from word of mouth or the internet. It's in a very affluent neighborhood so they probably want to keep out the riff raff.

The sidewalk on Lakewide Dr marks the end boundary of the park and Turtle Creek the west. Joggers use the sidewalk and explorers take the stone path that meanders beside the creek. It might be good for kids old enough to not fall on the stones and won't wander off too far. There's a fair amount of up and down, usually about five steps at a time, but you might get pretty tired if you haven't been hitting the stairmaster lately.

The place is exquisitely landscaped. I went in early spring and it was gorgeous. I can only imagine how it will look in the months ahead with the trees fully dressed in leaves.

One of the reasons I went was to see the teddy bear statues. Gotta admit they were a bit of a let down. After seeing the magnificent trees and the impeccable landscaping the just didn't float my boat. Kids might enjoy them.

So I had a good time; took a few pics, got a little exercise and sun. Not what I expected but I...

The park is scenic and nice. Would have been 5 stars if it wasnt for the AHole who came to yell at us for taking pictures. We had no clue we weren't "allowed" to use props for pictures. Instead of introducing himself as the town administrator and explaining to us the rules, Bill decided to be a complete jackass and berate us for having a 4x2 foot prop to take pictures. We understand NOW that it was "against" the rules to have props but it was completely handled the wrong way. If you are going to tell someone what they can and cant do at a park, you need 1st explain who you are and 2nd do it in a way that is less combative! If you are going to just walk the park is geat, anything else, go...

🥲 This Park is the most beautiful park I've ever seen. I felt like we came all the way different county, not Dallas haha. 🤣

📷 We had our photoshoot here for my Apron brand “Chloe Choe” and the picture came out so beautiful. I'm speechless. It looked amazing and so beautiful.

🍃This place deserves any protection and keeps this property as it is. We should appreciate this nature and who trying to preserve this place. I felt this place is truly the best in DFW areas. Beautiful place and beautiful people. This was so peaceful all day. And the weather was amazing!! 🤍
