Fretz Park is our 31-acre neighborhood park located south of Beltline Road, between Hillcrest Road and Meandering Way. It was named after Emil Fretz (a member of the Dallas Park Board as well as several other Dallas civic organizations). The park is owned and operated by the City of Dallas.

We have a panorama photo of Fretz Park: click here if you want to see it (and be prepared to scroll, and scroll, and scroll ...)
