Couple of figure statues. Big whoop. Not much else going on here. Not really scenic or anything

[4] - Location [5] - Uniqueness [5] - Free Entry A hidden gem that brings me memories of " A Secret Garden" Or a ritual sacred place in Uptown Dallas. Though very small and delicate, this would the perfect place for photography, read a book, even perhaps some meditation. There is unique stones statues placed here from, Dragons, to gargoyles, angels. The trees are delicately placed, some I have never seen before with many beautiful colors and foliage. I loved it when I came to check it out, many much parking so you may get luck if there is not many people there, which usually there are for taking pictures. It is not a big place, it is very small, but enough to take a nice little stroll and enjoy for whomever made this place available to the public. Note - When we arrived there are sign's at the entrances that say, in order to enter this property you had to call a number that was on the sign and ask for permission first before entering. I did not call, and just walked around admiring the garden as many others did. Though, if you do plan on going, enter at your own risk ( You prob should call and ask for permission first). Sadly I did not take a picture of the sign. I was probably only there 15 minutes at the most to enjoy the whole garden. I'd love to go back with my camera to take some nice pictures sometime. Totally a nice little place to check out if you happen to be in this area. read more

When I first saw this park online as a "must see" with the mystical photos of dragons and all the good reviews; I was very excited. However, it's an extremely small property and it's private. They don't really want you hanging out around there. I would say, if you're in the area it's worth a drive by... but it's not something I would go out of my way to see unless you live close. Although, you should know that it is indeed beautiful and lovely art, even if it's small. read more

If you happen to be in the Oak Lawn area between Cedar Springs & Turtle Creek Road. Take a 15 minute well deserved green nature break in this upscale neighborhood. Dragon Park is a private location, but is open to the public to enjoy it's numerous fun, scary, and entertaining statues. There are pretty blooming flowers and interesting shrubbery to delight one's eye as well. Driving east on Cedar Springs, make a left on Hood Street and park your car to the immediate curb, after the red no parking sign. Right in front of this little oasis in our Dallas concrete jungle, is the entrance. A green 2 hour sign allows 120 minutes to hang out, eat a lunch, take some photos, and then hit the road again. There are no bathrooms, but there are a few restaurants on the west side of Oak Lawn Avenue. It's a cute quaint hidden gem for sure. I really wish our city provided more green shaded cooler spots, we are so overran with urban trappings, without the balance of nature and places to be outside, regardless of the season, which is a shame. There are probably half a dozen or more tracts of modest space and land that could be converted. One can only hope that those in the local city council making policy. Set aside a few well deserved tax dollars to give our city more outdoor venues for everyone to enjoy. read more

When u arrive theres a small parking lot and parking on side of streets. Free and public but will have 'private property' signs around. No one was here other than a couple of artists, working on their project. It is a very small park with stone paths that circles around. Many animal statutes and flowers/plants that you can take a photo of or with. Nice, decent activity to quickly stop by with a friend or just by yourself to think about things. There's no reason u should be here for more than 20-30 mins other than to admire and take photos with the animal statutes. Not sure if it's a must stop but something to see and do if very bored. read more

Dragon Park - Park stone and bench - Parks Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This is a lovely and charming park. It's a very small park but a beautiful place to have lunch or sit a while. There are lots of wonderful sculptures here like a large lion, a Chinese dragon with it's foot on a tiny dragon, a 5' frog hiding under a leaf, a tall Chinese dragon and a beautiful lady sitting in the garden who looks like she is ready to give someone a kiss. It's such a cute area between some houses. I think it's worth a visit if you enjoy seeing unique gardens. I don't think it's really a place for kids to play since it's so small but I think it's a nice place to show kids who love fairies and magical places. It reminds me of a mini Narnia. read more

Dragon Park - Such a cool tiny park. - Parks Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Really nice place! It's a hidden gem in Dallas; the sculptures are cool. It's a small place and probably not somewhere you want to spend a lot of time in because of all of the mosquitoes- I spent about two minutes taking pictures and I got 10 bug bites. There's not much to it besides the statues but it's worth a visit if you're in the city. read more

Secret gem in the city. Small but perfect to take some pictures. I loved the dragon!

Angels Vs Demons??? Well, close... angels, dragons, fairies, griffins, and gargoyles all in one garden! This makes an interesting and surprisingly peaceful place to visit, meditate, take family photos (or any photos), and/or picnic. The three entrances are adorned with twin statues of 3 different mythical and mysterious creatures. The kids loved it! Hubby loved it! I loved it! It was a calming and fruitful trip. We got family photos and pics for framing for different rooms. read more

Dragon Park - Parks Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Gorgeous, hidden gem in the middle of the city. Drove past this park several times and never knew it was here. I stumbled upon it today, but even in the winter with most of the foliage gone, I still give it 5 stars because I totally see the potential come spring time. Very tiny Park, I would say more of a magical garden. There are several statues around the area, with a beautiful gazebo in the middle (vines hanging down). Also a beautiful stone table with benches on either end of the garden, would be ideal for a romantic picnic with your loved one or an intimate little gathering with friends. Although the street is right there, the garden itself was quiet, serene. Can't wait to go back in the spring when the foliage is in bloom! read more

A hidden treasure right in my neighborhood. Great place to sit & read on a hot day. One of many reasons why this New York City transplant loves Dallas. You'll walk right by if you don't look for it. Have fun! read more

I love taking photos here! The location is perfect. It's very private and not a lot of people of you come at the right time. When you there early in the morning, there is a cool breeze that you can take advantage of. The park is so small but so well managed and put together that every shot looks like your are virtually in several other parks...but you are still in the same spot. Check out my photos!!

This place was on the Dallas "must see and do" list but to our surprise, it was a small park on a private property. It was really small and not sure if it should be placed on such a list lol. read more

What an odd little hidden gem in Dallas. My husband found this on a list of places to take pictures. It's a very small park and I'd even use the word park loosely. It's really just a small space with a bunch of sculptures and fountains. The signs say it's private property and provide a number to call. I personally was a little freaked out by it as if I was stepping into a Jumanji board game or something. I kept feeling like the lions would come to life and I'd be cursed forever if I touched the wrong thing by accident. But if you're looking for a place with some character to take some unique pictures, this is certainly it. When we visited, another man was there setting up for a proposal to take place later that afternoon. It's a great place for that since it's relatively private and a very unique space. read more

A privately owned park, give the owner (Select Salon) a call and walk in with their blessing. Loads of quirky statues to check out and enjoy, great for photos or just sitting and enjoying the quiet. read more

Very cool place, extremely small but still nice for pictures. If you're in the area it's worth the short time it takes to check it out! read more

CLOSED. So sad. Took my grandchildren to see such a pretty place I used to visit when I lived here.

Great little park to have a picnic. Took the family today and this place is rife with opportunities for pics of the family. Butterflies, flowers, statues of really cool things(dragons,griffins,lions, etc.) how can you go wrong? This place is a little oasis in our fair burg that I would bet most don't even know exist. Do yourself a favor-pack a nice picnic, grab a bottle of wine(maybe just a flask-I don't know the open container laws in these parts) and come on down to commune with nature and let the cares of the real world slip away. read more

My fiancé and I looked around for some great places to take engagement pictures and we found the Dragon Park. It's a small hidden gem. The pictures came out great. We actually met the owner. What a friendly gentleman. Thanks for creating such a beautiful place for all to enjoy. Take time out to check this place out! read more

Dragon Park - Gorgeous and relaxing place! - Parks Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This is private property, not open to the public. We found it on the Maps App and thought it would be cool to show our kids, drove to downtown Dallas and when we drove up there was a "Private Property, No Trespassing" sign near the road. We were disappointed! read more

Small park with a lot of character. Great foliage and greenery for pictures on any occasion. The sculptures and dragon fountain are all something to behold. There are also a couple spots to sit and relax but not enough on a weekend if you are assuming you will have a picnic spot. This is an eccentric park with in a beautiful setting that is great for your weekend stroll. read more

I LOVE DRAGON PARK! On June 11th, I married my best friend. We invited a few select guests who came and helped us make our day special! People talked our our wedding for days and were so impressed with how intimate the setting was! Thank you Marcus for closing the park for our special day! Talk about charming, romantic, and regal! read more

This park is absolutely AMAZING! I searched for weeks looking for a place to take my senior photos and my aunt and I stumbled across this park on yelp. With only a few days before I was scheduled to take my photos and not wanting to pay any more fees on top of the cost of the photographer, I figured I would take a chance on this park. That was one of the best senior-related decisions I've made. These photos turned out much better than the traditional senior photos that I was forced to take for school. The only complaints that I have are 1) I was completely bitten up by bugs afterwards but that could have been due to the time of the year and 2) the business across the street was a little rude to my mom about where to park and said that we were only allowed to take up two parking spots (It was just us, my aunt, and the photographer so it wasn't like we were taking up an entire lot and plus it was after business hours) but there was no sign that indicated parking restrictions so there wasn't too much of an argument. Also, the park is much smaller than expected but does not cause an issue at all in photos. Besides those minor issues I had an amazing experience at this park and, depending on how many people we have in the group, I am definitely considering returning to take prom pictures! read more

It really is beautiful. The statues are all very well made. The grounds were obviously kept clean and tidy. I really loved the flora of the garden as well. It's more of a garden than a park per se. Bring plenty of mosquito spray though because they are everywhere. Also, bring a bag to use to throw trash away if it's there. The owners ask that you leave it better than you found it. read more

For anyone looking to visit, this park is actually located at the corner of Hood and Cedar Springs. Dragon Park is a quiet little urban park filled with unexpected sculptures and places to stop and relax for a bit. Would make an excellent lunch or reading spot. read more

My second visit here a year apart made this place my fav on earth. Perfect place for deserts from eatzis !

My husband and I got engaged at this park the pictures were beautiful! We love this park. Super cute!

This is such a cool park that I almost hate to review it - I like that it's not very crowded when I drop by. The whole fantasy theme is cute, but it is really a great place to take a date or just meditate. I wish more cities would do small parks like this. read more

Very nice. Well taken care of and clean. The statues are so cool. Is access and parking read more

Dragon Park - Parks Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This place was pretty cool, although the warning sign up front was in comic sans. The park is privately owned which is totally rad because the person that owns it, is making literally zero money from it. I feel like this park is contributing to the downfall of capitalism and I fully support. read more

This was a great place to sit & get a few emails done. It was right near a Hospital I was working with. If I did not see it on Yelp, would have missed it. Definitely a hidden gem. If you want a serene place - this is it. read more

Nice little park. Very whimsical. There are all sorts of sculptures of dragons and other mythical animals. It's a very peaceful spot. Nice greenery as well, and even some natural stumps to sit on. I didn't have much time to stay and enjoy it, but I'd like to come back next time I'm in the area. I enjoy discovering hidden spots like this that remind us to take a step back from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives and just relax for a peaceful moment. read more

Small, quaint, and cozy. A great place to just relax and clear your mind. It's really one of those hidden gems in Dallas.
