White Rock Lake Park, located just five miles east of the city centre, provides a perfect place for people who have no time to leave the city. This is one of the largest parks in Dallas. The area of the urban oasis is twice the size of New York Central Park. Tourists can observe all kinds of wildlife, and luckily they can see all kinds of migrating birds in the bird watching area. Or walk and ride miles of trails, roadside picnic areas, playgrounds, dog parks and cultural centers. The focus of the park is, of course, 1,015 acres of lakes. In autumn, you can come here for boating and fishing. Baishihu also hosts various activities, including marathons, horse racing and music festivals.
