Explore Dallas in Springtime

While the weather is fine, take the perfect opportunity to get some fresh air and explore the Uptown Oak Lawn neighborhood within easy reach of Warwick Melrose – Dallas. The Katy Trail is a 3.5 mile running, walking, and biking trail following the route of the old Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad and connecting a variety of Dallas city parks with scenic skyline and park views. A wide concrete trail is perfect for cyclists and inline skaters and is flanked by a soft recycled-rubber walking and jogging path.

Explore the 66 acres at The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden featuring hundreds of cherry blossom trees, half a million tulip bulbs and fantastical topiaries. The Dallas Blooms festival features not only floral wonders but bird talks, flight shows, demonstrations, a guided bird walk through the gardens, tastings, cooking class, wine and beer pairings, book signings, live music and entertainment and children’s activities. A little outside of town, experience an authentic Texas miracle on the Ennis Bluebonnet Trails- over 40 miles of historic mapped driving routes to see the state flower at its best.

Dallas is an art lovers dream destination- with districts dedicated to the arts, culture and creatives.
