Turtle Creek . . . one of Dallas' crown jewels
Winding its way through the heart of Dallas, Turtle Creek beckons residents and visitors to its serene creek setting, manicured park, walking paths and neighborhood events. For nearly 100 years the verdant greenbelts of Turtle Creek have been a center of activity and development, and the support it has received from Dallas and the residents who call the area home serves as an example of what can be accomplished through civic pride and leadership. In fact, a local columnist once named Turtle Creek the first of the seven “Wonders” of Dallas.
Bordered by Fitzhugh Avenue to the North, Maple Avenue to the South, Cole Avenue to the East and Oak Lawn Avenue to the West, the Turtle Creek area boasts some of the most spectacular homes in Dallas, unique shopping, dining, theatre and cultural activities, and encompasses Lee, William B. Dean and Turtle Creek parks, the Katy Trail recreational footpath and numerous other green spaces.
