Dragon Park is a great little spot in the city, it sits on a house-size lot so its a very quick walk-through. Interesting statues but the landscaping could use TLC - some areas were overgrown with weeds. When I called for permission to enter, I was advised to leave it better than I found it - I took that to heart when I found a little trash on one of the benches so I got rid of it. Definitely worth a visit if youre in the area.

To totally be at this place was pretty cool.its differently different then a regular play ground. Just being with my baby.was the highlight of my day. This dragon garden is a place to just think and be able to gather your thoughts. And spend a little quality time just the two of you. I give this park a thumbs up.go check it out

It looks like a chill place, very pretty from what I could make out. I did see a ton of signs that say its private property and must call for permission to enter . Unfortunately I was never called back and I wasted my Sunday not able to fully enjoy what couldve been a cool experience. Maybe Ill try again in the future or find another park that is more accessible.

This is actually a private park, but wide open and they have signs to call a number if you want to enter, i did but no one answered, the park is so little that it only takes 5 minutes, it is more like a tiny walking area, but it is fresh, and has this magical inspirations that you could spend a lot of time meditating or just sitting reading a book. There is a few parking places with 2 hours limit.

A truly gorgeous, tiny, tucked-away, yet amazing little spot. Yes, it is now PRIVATE PROPERTY, but the owners seem very kind and gracious in allowing entry. The only expectation they have of visitors is one which should come natural to everyone (yet unfortunately does not), and that requirement can be summed up with the word “Respect.”Show respect for the property, the art/sculptures, the garden/landscape, and do not leave litter or any trace of your having stopped by. I do believe the fact that many did exactly the opposite explains why permission is now required to stroll through. I have no issue with that, as this little tucked-away “secret spot” should be treated exactly as one would wish others treat their own property.Amazing little spot!

It is a unique nook on a bustling street. The salon across the street is the place to check in if you are hoping to enter the garden since it is considered private property. But, I was able to get a peek at it from the corner instead of entering. It is nice, but not as big or accessible as I thought.

This park takes up a small North East corner of the intersection. Great for private groups or gathering. THIS PARK IS PRIVATE PROPERTY AS OF JAN 1ST 2019. PRIVATE REQUEST REQUIRED TO ENTER PARK. RULES APPLIED UPON ENTERING. Owner was very kind to allow others enjoy the park as long as you respect the rules applied.

A quiet little corner in the hub of the gay community. A nice way to get away from the hustle and bustle for a few minutes.

This a small, private, quaint park, with beautiful ornamental gardens pieces, fountains and benches.It is a great place for a photo shoot, to get that memorable picture taken.

Review №15

This garden is so lovely and surprising! It is filled with a large variety of plants and so many interesting sculptures. The architect did a tremendous job with such a small plot of land. I highly recommend visiting this oasis in the city. It is private land, but the owner graciously gives access: upon entering, a phone number is provided to call for permission.

Review №16

Very beautiful. Kind of sad that people have carved things into the statues or left trash around so now you have to ask permission to enter but all in all a very cute little place!

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.

Probably had driven past it hundreds of times before I became aware it was here. It is apparent that it is maintained and cared for with pure love, the energy within clearly radiates that. A peaceful place amidst the chaos of the city where certain people may find it easier to renew & recharge.

Review №25

This park is awesome,however, despite previous comments stating otherwise, its been private property and has had the call requirement prior to 2019 as i shot some pictures there in July of 2018. The number was from the salon across the street and the gentleman that answered was very gracious in letting me shoot. As long as youre respectful of the property, dont leave trash and be honest with your intentions for using it, its definitely a good photography site.

Review №27

This is a PRIVATE place. Last week of September was hot and we walk a lot to see it because the pictures show nice sculptures but what a bad surprise was to find signs saying we are not allowed to enter. We call the number in the sign for permission and they never answer. This place was full of weeds and lack of maintenance but the sculptures are there. It is a very small lot but I hope it gets clean to see at least from the sidewalk.

Beautiful. Zen. Peaceful. Calm. The pictures do not do this place justice. It is absolutely breathtaking and worth the drive. This is a wonderful place to meditate and be present in the moment. This seems like it was picked up and placed here from another country. You wouldnt even notice you were in Dallas.

This park is really pretty. I visited it last year and took pictures, but I went there 6/10/19 and there are now signs up that the park is now private property.Keep that in mind before visiting.

While this is a magical hidden treasure of a park - Mystical beast , a medieval gazebo within this garden park ...something has changed here... no longer do you feel welcome to stroll among the gargoyles who guard the entrance....now there are no admittance without permission signs posted at every entrance . The park sadly had litter strewn about and felt somewhat desecrated compared to it’s former glory .

Nice little park. Signs posted for it being private property but we didnt have any issues when we walked through on an early Sunday morning. Pretty small but some nice statues.

Review №38

Such a cool place. Absolutely the cutest place in Dallas. Called the number on the sign upon arriving and waited only ten minutes to hear back from the owner himself granting us permission to enter the magical little garden. My wife and I walked around for a while admiring all the unique things and picking up bits of trash left by less-than-desirable visitors who came before us. Absolutely will come back when passing through Dallas again, might make coffee here and have a little picnic.

A tiny little oasis in the middle of the city. Great location for a photo shoot! Hard to believe this much tranquility can be found in such a tiny spot! If you havent been there take a few minutes to sit and enjoy the sculptures and listen to the fountain. Worth the trip.

Review №44

Similar experience as others have stated. Neat little Park offering some shade and some very cool sculptures ,buti is indeed posted as private property. I spoke to someone who suggested they knew the caretaker and that its okay to look around but any pictures should only be for private use and to be very mindful of the property.

Review №45

Im confused. I got here and theres multiple signs that say PRIVATE PROPERTY, CALL FOR PERMISSION TO ENTER.Also, this is definitely not a park, its like someones small backyard.The stars are for the zen vibe (Im imagining), sculptures and placement, flowers

This is a small private park in the heart of some of the most desirable real estate in Dallas making this land very valuable but the owners have chosen to share with the public over profit. Its a gem of a place. Its amazing what features they have been able to fit into this space. Its well worth the stop.

Its not really a park. Its more of a cute plot of land. You can see all there is to see in less than 5 minutes.It might make for a cute spot for a photoshoot if you catch all the right angles. (Hence the 2 stars)

The statues are nice, but the salon owner access the street was nasty, there is no parking and you have to call and get permission to walk in the garden.

This garden is now private. There are signs everywhere saying private property, do not enter, call this number for permission etc. So we could only look from the outside. Was not very impressed anyway, but maybe its better in the spring.

Review №78

So I feel like the name is really misleading, this is more like a dragon garden. Park is a strong word. However ever this would be a nice little place to read a book or eat lunch. You dont get to walk around much in it, because the place is half the size of a tennis court. The statues in it are really neat though!

Im not sure how this little garden got to be a tourist attraction, but you cant beat free! We spent about an hour here, hanging out and taking pictures. Calling it a park is a little generous though. Its probably a quarter acre at most. Still, not a bad way to kill an hour or two. :-)

My partner David and I came upon this peaceful place and it became a regular place for us to enjoy a lunch or just a nice afternoon or evening together. Saddly. I dont make it much there anymore since David passed, I do still go and definitely recommend it for a place to see/visit.

A hidden gem in Dallas, Dragon Park offers a dark, shady spot for contemplation. The park is privately-owned, so please take care as you visit. The trumpeting angel sculpture is amazing. A great spot for unique Goth wedding photos or senior photos in someplace different.
