Greenway Parks, Dallas
Greenway Parks is a 150-acre residential neighborhood located approximately five miles north of downtown Dallas, Texas, bounded by the Dallas North Tollway on the east, Mockingbird Lane on the south, Inwood Road on the west, and University Boulevard on the north. It borders the city of Highland Park on the southeast and the city of University Park on the east.
In May 2003, Greenway Parks became Conservation District No. 10.City of Dallas, designating it as a neighborhood with a distinct physical character, and requiring specific building and renovation standards in order to maintain its character.In January 2008, Greenway Parks was officially entered into the National Register of Historic Places,the City.homeowner's association. Most significant among these are the eight eponymous "greenway" parks which extend east-west between houses on Mockingbird, Montrose, Waneta, Nakoma, and Wenonah. "In contrast to the many late 19th. and early 20th century Dallas neighborhoods that were mostly bungalow suburbs that developed along streetcar routes, Greenway Parks was conceived of as a residential park, adapting American garden suburban planning practices and integrating shared green space."
