I've been going to this park for over 54 years. It is still as beautiful now as it was back then…read more It is an easy 7.5 mile walk from the house or 9 miles if I stick to the formal trails. My last three trips were for this year's Memorial Day activities in support of Carry the Load. This park comes to a new life when there is a large event such as the very noble Carry the Load. Reverchon's beautiful greenery, powerful oaks and gentle rolling meadows are accented with the dark reddish sandstone walls and structures that soothes the soul. It is almost like a slice of Eden.To see this impressive park comfort those grieving as they remember the fallen military, police, fire and other first responders validates its role as a magnanimous friend. It fosters the catharsis and healing needed by many. The trip up and down from the Katy trail (which is high above) can be as challenging as you want to achieve and as beautiful as you want to view. I like the winding stone steps. There are observation terraces, conversation pits, and nature everywhere. It is shielded by quiet Dallas high rises just far enough away. The quiet serenity at night is in contrast to its vibrant life during the day. It retains the natural attraction whether it is a hand full of park goers to over ten thousand. It's great for the dogs, kids and oldtimers like me. There are some sport facilities for the team sport athletes. And of course there are the trails. There is a lack of immediate parking which I think helps retain its natural beauty . There are lots and streets to park if you decide not to go on foot. The adjoining recreation center has all you could want or need. The food and drink options are not too far away and some are world renown. If you need mental cleansing or some quiet reflection, Reverchon Park is the place to stroll.

This is an UPDATE to my previous review. I have been corrected on some of the history…read more The Dallas Texans were the first Dallas NFL team in 1952, but moved and ceased to exist. In 1960, Lamar Hunt started and new AFL team in Dallas called the Texans. He used his dad's HR director of Hunt Oil Company to sign contracts and help set up the personnel management of the team. The HR director was a yelp elite friend of mine's dad. In 1963, Lamar moved them to KC as he felt he would have more success and renamed them the Chiefs. He also had other operations in KC he was growing. Another oilman, Clint Murchison, started the Cowboys. He and Lamar were good friends, When the AFL and NFL merged and first time Cowboys and Chiefs played each other, his dad took him to the before game party and he got to meet Lamar and Clint. That was Roger Staubach's rookie season and he got to meet him and Len Dawson (his dad signed him). That's the latest and the greatest. I love the history of the bowl and the Cowboys!
