Any fields in Dallas like this? My friend is looking to propose and wants something that looks like this or some place with lots of flowers

The connected park to the katy trail called reverchon has an open field like this disconnected from the park up cobblestone stairs next to the basketball court behind the recreation center. I would also recommend teddy bear park on lakeside dr. In highland park.

Try the tulip farm in pilot point, Texas tulips I believe

Connemara in Allen!

Oak point nature preserve in Plano has a semi secluded field with wild flowers

[-]

thraskymjolning@reddit

I really like the area by Parker Rd on the way to Bob Woodruff has nice big trees, and there's fewer people in that part than near the lake/parking lots.

SadAdministration438@reddit

It’s not in Dallas but there’s a place called Connemara Meadow in Allen.

Grass without fire ant mounds are hard to find.

Novel-Intention3895@reddit

did u know fire ants are invasive species

[-]

CactusThorn@reddit

Nope, no idea. Given their prevalence in the south, assume they came on Spanish ships along with the formosan termite.

[-]

icyhotdavid@reddit (OP)

That’s exactly the problem 😂

It’s a place off 67 south, right before lake ridge. Can’t think of the name but they have signs out front on the gate for weddings and whatnot

I actually think this picture is in Hawaii… it’s a large older home with lots of flat land. Mountain behind it.

I have the spot that you’re looking for! I proposed to my now wife here 9 years ago. I told her I wanted to go on a walk over by the lake as we did this occasionally and as we were driving I told her it’d be nice to walk through the neighborhood since it was less busy instead.

It’s not Dallas but Bluebonnet Park in Ennis.

If you don't want to do the Arboretum, a picnic on Boy Scout Hill (White Rock Lake), during sunset, is pretty close.

[-]

Bluebonnets alongside many highways and roads now

[-]

Daguy223@reddit

I would argue that my neighborhood park has a view like this, Crowley Park

There’s a part on N Spring Dr that reminds me of that photo

Its almost time for the wildflowers in Ennis I would look i to that. Also turtle creek is really nice

Second vote for the Ennis flower fields

keesouth@reddit

Arbor Hills Nature Preserve or the Arboretum

[-]

Curiouserousity@reddit

Arbor Hills is just covered in people. And around golden hour there's photographers and their subjects all over the place like mad.

[-]

SupernovaTraveller@reddit

Some of the offshoot unpaved trails have great privacy! My husband and I like the Open Field and Outer Loop trails. Even on really nice days when the paved trail is packed, we might only run into half a dozen people on each of those offshoots.

[-]

AD_Cinema@reddit

I picked up some folks who just got engaged by the lake in Rockwall I think it was... I'm new to the area but wherever it was there were the biggest mansions I've ever seen. It was beautiful.

White Rock Trail, around the Bluffs at Lakewood

Some spots around Whiterock

[-]

lurker-rama@reddit

Flag pole hill maybe?

[-]

medical_device@reddit

Flagpole might actually be the most similar spot. Great answer.

[-]

lurker-rama@reddit

I saw a super cute bridal shower set up there amongst the really twisty trees once, I loved it.

[-]

Professional-Reply-1@reddit

I was married at White Rock, in the Cultural Bath house amphitheater!! Flag Pole hill would provide the best match minus the trees.

[-]

FantasticForce6895@reddit

I got engaged there! The sunset is nice.

[-]

Top_Term7689@reddit

Sunsets are Winfrey Point are great but my favorite spot is the bench by Erykah Badu’s house.

[-]

TheRealBadGate@reddit

winfrey point, though you risk having an audience as a lot of people like to go there for the view

[-]

medical_device@reddit

Agree, white rock and surrounding area is perfect.

[-]

Check out mi familia park In Grand Prairie .

NamasTodd@reddit

Try the Dallas Arboretum. Now is peak season for visitors so he may want to contact administration to see what times/days have the least traffic. Congratulations to your friend.

[-]

jsboftx1983@reddit

A lot of Bluebonnet patches are at the Mountainview College campus of Dallas College.

[-]

photolexigraph@reddit

Nasher Sculpture Museum outdoor garden is really pretty and a little different as well as the Laura W. Bush Native Texas Park at SMU has beautiful wildflowers and native Texas plants growing at all times. I haven’t lived in Dallas in 9 yrs but still consider it my home and spent a lot of time in both places

[-]

brenddur@reddit

Going for different options here, not sure which allow proposals so you may want to call ahead!

Historic houses with gardens (that are museums and so open to the public for a cost!): DeGolyer Estate (Garland) which does have flowers, not sure when theybare in bloom. Aldredge House (Dallas) although this one may be more manicured grounds type garden than flower garden.

Pilot Point has Texas Tulips. Running out of time for tulips so it would need to be in the next few weeks.

Fort Worth Botanic Garden is beautiful, and may be less crowded than the Dallas Arboretum. White Rock Lake Park in addition to the Arboretum itself.

Fair Park in Dallas has rhe Texas Discovery Gardens, which I feel like are often forgotten! It's a nice little area and they have a butterfly area.

Cedar Hill has the Cedar Hill Preserve (which may require more of a hike to get to views). Same for Dogwood Preserve. Cedar Hill State Park is nearby as well, so definitely outdoor options but may be more hiking than romantic hills.

Pilot Point also has some incredible ranches (one I swear I could have been in Kentucky), but they are VERY much private. On the off chance you kniw someone with connections in the equine world, it may be worth asking. It's also been a very long time so not sure it's still valid.

If they want a day trip [depending on where you are day trip may be an overnight] and more fall, Tyler has the Rose Festival in October.

3Time4Eater3@reddit

I remember There's big park in Plano on the way to the Eastside High school. It's where they (used to) have The Plano balloon festival

icyhotdavid@reddit (OP)

Wow this place is lovely…is it crowded by any chance?

[-]

TarryBuckwell@reddit

If they become members he can take her out for a coffee date an hour before it opens to the general public

[-]

Expert_Bedroom_544@reddit

Yes especially on weekends n

[-]

Veronica612@reddit

Fort Worth has a really nice arboretum. It’s a different style and less crowded than the Dallas arboretum. The rose garden is especially lovely.

[-]

watchandsee13@reddit

There’s a beautiful park in Hurst called Chisholm Park that is expansive like this woth old growth trees. Couple ponds.

Im sure there’s similar in Dallas, but this is the one I know about

[-]

csonnich@reddit

Prairie Creek Park has a field of flowers this time of year people are always taking photos with. Also a couple of nice bridges.

[-]

UnhappyWorldliness15@reddit

There are some really pretty bluebonnet fields right now. Winfrey point would be my vote other wise.

[-]

abqokcla@reddit

Lakeside park and Davis park in highland park are both beautiful

[-]

guru-relegated@reddit

Some good suggestions here. I'll add Moss Park Prairie off Royal and Arborside in Lake Highlands.

[-]

Mithun1978@reddit

Trammel Crow Park by the pond. Smells a bit oniony due to (I think) freshly mowed wild onions.

Just went down to Cedar Hill SP today and the field next to the Penn Farm house is gorgeous with bluebonnets. It was also pretty secluded, which you likely won’t find at the arboretum.

Be aware, you can’t bring your own professional photographer to the Arboretum without paying a fee and scheduling the event.

Friends with a phone cam are welcome. :)

Relative_Bat_7322@reddit

It’ll be hard to find a big open green area that isn’t public / full of people photobombing (ex. Arboretum, White Rock Lake, Arbor Hills Nature Preserve, Turtle Creek Park, they’ll all have a lot of people), but if your friend doesn’t mind that, go with it!

[-]

There’s a tree in Bartonville that is amazing at night, it’s West of Lewisville

CatteNappe@reddit

Tons of proposals happen at The Dallas Arboretum, which certainly is known for lots of flowers. While it doesn't have a large open romantic field like you picture it has ample smaller corners with benches nestled in trees and bushes that serve the purpose. It's a matter of picking a day/time when it's not too busy there.

https://www.dallasarboretum.org/

Some pix in the following links
https://www.dallasarboretum.org/visitor-information/gardens-and-pavilions/a-womans-garden/

https://www.dallasarboretum.org/visitor-information/gardens-and-pavilions/

What flowers are blooming, and where, at any given time changes almost weekly so your friend should do a scouting trip not long before the planned event.

[-]

Corgisarethebest123@reddit

There is a large open field at the Arboretum lol.

[-]

CatteNappe@reddit

And very lovely in somewhat the same way as the posted image, but not exactly private as that appears to be. If one doesn't mind a parade of people and strollers in the background.... It's why I suggested the proposer make an advance scouting trip.

[-]

CelebrationStreet772@reddit

Go towards Ennis. They have a huge bluebonnet bloom rn

[-]

Bec21-21@reddit

The park opposite toukalon ( by white rock lake) has big trees, grass (and flowers at the moment)

[-]

tenagle@reddit

The Texas discovery gardens is overlooked. They hold a lot of weddings there.

[-]

Big Spring.

[-]

jimmyslaughter@reddit

You might be running out of time, but there are large fields and trials of bluebonnets south of Dallas, in Ennis.

[-]

qolace@reddit

Turtle Creek Park if your friend wants something a little more low-key and less Instagram-y. I did a celebration of life there and it was perfect.

[-]

I initially thought this was a picture of Tenison Park or Tenison Park golf course. It is over by the arboretum & White Rock Lake, which are also good spots
