Saving the Best for Last!

In 2005, a group of concerned citizens formally established Friends of Reverchon Park. The "Friends" is a nonprofit organization set on unifying the community in support of this historic Dallas landmark. This 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization is dedicated to park history education, preservation and restoration fund raising. Our volunteer group is managed by a stellar group of concerned citizens, business leaders, philanthropists, horticulturalists and naturalists.

First named Turtle Creek Park, it was renamed Reverchon Park after Julien Reverchon (1837–1905) . A well-known botanist and a member of La Reunion Utopian Community, Reverchon had collected more than 2,600 species and 20,000 specimens of Texas plants prior to his death in 1905.

In 1920 the Reverchon Ballfield opened and in 1924, the ballfield grandstand was erected. The ballpark gained the reputation as the best baseball field in the city. The same year, fountains were installed to provide well water to local residents.

During the 1920s and 1930s, improvements such as the Iris Bowl, landscaping, picnic areas, baseball diamond, playground equipment and tennis courts transformed the park into a site of many celebrations, including Fourth of July and Juneteenth.
