Klyde Warren Park

Long, narrow Klyde Warren Park opened in late 2012, but is now one of the most popular spots in Dallas. Built over a reclaimed railway line, the $110 million greenway staples the city’s uptown and arts districts together. Throw in dozens of free daily activities including table tennis, badminton, chess, ice-skating, concerts and yoga and it’s easy to see why Klyde is now everyone’s best friend. If you fancy simply kicking back and people-watching, grab a book from the free outdoor stacks and meander over to Lark on the Park (2015 Woodall Rodgers Fwy, 214-855-5275) a relaxed eatery sporting a fine line in homemade sandwiches and microbrews.
