This is a plus for people who want to continue to say to the developer, both Commercial and Residential, leave some of this space alone and give the wildlife a chance....really Dallas, when will you begin to build high and not low....A/T, Tree hugging is a love of nature.

Went out there for the first time yesterday. It was surprising to see something this well maintained right here in Dallas. There is good elevation that provided some pretty decent hiking (albeit, myself being novice hiker, I don't have much to compare it to).
Either way, this is a great place to get out of the city, and into nature, without being that far from home.
