I love Early Spring in Dallas!

By
Real Estate Agent with United Real Estate Dallas TREC# 0544069

Spring comes early in Dallas.  By early March, our daytime temperatures allow us to enjoy most outdoor activities.  That means trips to my favorite outdoor places.

 

Dallas ArboretumThe Dallas Arboretum is the perfect place to visit any day of the week if you want to "get away from it all."  I love to stroll through the colorful gardens, or sit in the Spring sun, on a bench overlooking White Rock Lake and read a book.  Not to be missed is tea at the DeGolyer House, or having a bite to eat at Cafe on the Green.  Tea requires advance reservations.

 

Butterfly GardenVisiting the Butterfly Garden, at the Bath House Cultural Center near White Rock Lake is always a treat. Walking or biking around the lake is a great way to exercise, without feeling like you are exercising. The dog park at the north end  White Rock Lake is a popular destination for pet owners all year round.

 

Nasher Sculpture CenterThe Nasher Sculpture Garden is also a favorite destination in the Spring.  Lunch is available at the Nasher Cafe by Wolfgang Puck.  Seating is available indoors or outdoors overlooking the Garden.

Take time to enjoy one or all of these local destinations this Spring!

Jane, the Nasher is on my schedule at least once a month! We are fortunate to have three art museums in a one bloc area.

Of all these lovely places I only missed the Nasher, but didn't he also build one of the malls that had a lot of the sculpture I seem to remember.

Larry, you're right.  Ray and Patsy Nasher built NorthPark Shopping Center on Northwest Highway and Central Exressway.  In the 1990s Ray Nasher sold his interest in NorthPark to his daughter Nancy and her husband.  They continue to have sculptures in the mall.  A few years ago, they doubled the size of the mall and now have an enormous courtyard in the center for outdoor activities. As a family, they have done so much for the City of Dallas.

Sharon, spring is my favorite time of the year too. But what about fall? What do you suppose the Dallas Arboretum has planned for this time of year? Maybe we could walk the gardens and find out!
