Have you ever heard of a park named after a man who helped bring Dallas its first Zoo? Walford Park, tucked away on Haskell Avenue, holds this unexpected history. Although it may seem like a regular park, it’s a testament to George F. Walford’s dedication to the City of Dallas. George Walford was a Dallas businessman and civic leader who, in the early 1900s, was a driving force in establishing the Dallas Zoological Society. He was an advocate for bringing animals to the city, and Walford Park today serves as a reminder of his commitment. The park itself is a bit more than a small green space with play equipment. You’ll find basketball courts, picnic tables, and a shaded playground. It might not be as grand as the Dallas Zoo, but it’s a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy a quiet moment in the heart of the city. So as you wander through this unassuming green space, consider the legacy of George Walford, the man who helped bring Dallas its first Zoo.
