Friendship Park (Dallas)

this is a good place

This park features a basketball court, a walking trail, playground equipment, picnic tables and BBQ grills as well as trees and som irrigated landscape. Some of the land is dedicated and managed as a natural grassland.

This park is 10 acres, and is managed by the City of Dallas Parks and Recreation Department. The park was (at least until 2009) listed as park for the City of Garland, with different street address than the Dallas listing.

This idiosyncrasy is due to the fact that the City of Dallas owns the ~5 acres on the west side of the park, while the City of Garland owns the ~5 acres on the east. The park is, however, entirely within the boundaries of the City of Dallas. The deeds for both parcels of land restrict the land to public use (parks)

One must wonder if the name "Friendship Park" is a remnant of the park's history.
