[birds chirping] Turtle Creek flows under the stone bridge and then it winds 'round and flows under the bridge at Turtle Creek Drive. A private drive that goes up to just a few homes designed by great architects like John Allen Boyle and Downing Thomas and Frank Welch. One of my favorite neighborhoods is Turtle Creek Park. Here's a neighborhood that only has thirty or so houses. On one side is the Katy Trail, on the other side is Turtle Creek, Rock Creek meanders through the neighborhood There are hills, topography, you're looking out on your verandas, maybe over 4 or 5 acres and not seeing any houses This is the neighborhood that's the most bucolic, pastoral, the most hidden from the city So Turtle Creek Park and these other little Turtle Creek neighborhoods combine the best of city life and they're the most removed from the city.
Course
Turtle Creek generally runs southwest through North Dallas, passing through Highland Park (an incorporated city and enclave surrounded by Dallas), then back into Dallas through the Oak Lawn community and Turtle Creek neighborhood alongside Turtle Creek Boulevard, through Reverchon Park, and ultimately through the West Dallas Design District where it flows into the Trinity River Meanders culverts.
The Meanders are the original riverbed of the Trinity River through Dallas. For flood control purposes, the Meanders section was rerouted through underground culverts in the early 20th century. The main riverbed was also redirected through a new channel excavated to the west. The channel was engineered with levees and pumps, allowing real estate development of an industrial district in the area.[1]
