Take a walk in the city’s coolest new urban green space. This 5.2-acre public park sits over a major freeway. There’s always something to do here. Check out one of the several food trucks lined up along the street, grab a book from the library, or just soak in the sun. If you plan ahead, take a look at the things going on this weekend to see if there are any special events happening there beyond the usual dancing, yoga or workout classes you'll find. https://www.klydewarrenpark.org/Things-To-Do/index.html
Across the street from Klyde Warren Park, you’ll find the Dallas Museum of Art. General admission here is free, but the special exhibits will cost you. While you roam the halls of the museum, you’ll feel like you’re traveling the globe as it takes you across continents and time periods. https://dma.org/
From runners to bikers to casual park-goers, more than 1 million people visit this lake every year. It’s 9 miles all the way around, and you’ll always find something to do here. If biking isn’t your thing, go for a walk. Or rent a paddleboard or canoe and float around the lake. http://www.whiterockdallas.org/
With sculptures inside and outside, this gorgeous space was designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano. The Nasher features more than 300 features made by the hands of Picasso, Matisse, Rodin, and more. http://www.nashersculpturecenter.org/
