2007 Lake Highlands Junior Women’s League

The Lake Highlands Junior Women's League, in collaboration with the City of Dallas and the Parks and Recreation Department, is excited to announce the future construction of a loop trail on the grounds of the Lake Highlands North Recreation Center Park, located on Church Road, between White Rock Trail and Fieldcrest Drive. The proceeds from the LHJWL's Fun Run, to be held on April 28, 2007, will be combined with approved bond money to fund this project. The Loop Trail will complement the LHJWL's popular 2006 Spray Ground project, also located on the grounds of the Lake Highlands North Recreation Center. The trail will run along the southern portion of the recreation center grounds, and will connect the playground area on the eastern side of the park at Fieldcrest Drive to the Spray Ground and playground on the western side of the park at White Rock Trail. The trail will be approximately one mile long, and will offer a recreation opportunity to community members of all ages, including family groups and walkers looking for a scenic place to exercise in the Lake Highlands area. Other amenities and improvements for the park are also planned, including a Frank Welch pavilion, funded by the Lake Highlands Women's League and the Lake Highlands Exchange Club in collaboration with the City of Dallas and the Parks and Recreation Department, which will be constructed close to the recreation center building. Improved and increased parking on the White Rock Trail side, as well as additional concrete surrounding the spray ground will also add to the improvements of the park. Construction on the Loop Trail and Pavilion is scheduled to begin in Fall 2007.
