About Highland Park
While having great amenities, like restaurants, retail, and a golf club, Highland Park also enjoys having the beautiful Turtle Creek meandering through the neighborhood lined with mature trees, parks and recreational areas. Most notably connected to the Katy Trail which serves as a pedestrian and cyclist artery from Highland Park, all the way down to the American Airlines center near Downtown Dallas. Highland Park is a great place for families with its abundance of parks, recreational areas, quite streets and its convenient location to everything Dallas has to offer.
