In 1915, the City of Dallas purchased 36 acres in what was then, far North Dallas, with a vision for the future. A public area that would enlighten and expand the the recreational and leisure opportunities for the citizens of Dallas. Designed to be the Central Park of Dallas, Reverchon Park was was born.

A lot has changed over the years, but one thing has remained the same. Reverchon Park is still a welcome opportunity for the people of Dallas. As good as the park is, there is still room for improvement. That's why The Friends of Reverchon Park are working with the city of Dallas to implement the Reverchon Park Restoration and Development Plan. This plan will offer improvements and maintenance opportunities designed to make the park more appealing and functional to the more than 30,000 Dallas citizens utilize Reverchon Park each year.

Reverchon Park has a bright future. Help us, as we work together to restore and revitalize one of Dallas' most beautiful assets.

Thank you.

President

CARRY THE LOAD DALLAS 2013

In the Park } May/26/2013 | Comments (0)

According to their website, Carry The Load is a 20-hour Memorial Day event honoring service members and their families for the sacrifices they make.

You can join in the Memorial March at any time during the 20 hours and walk even for just a few minutes. You do not have to carry a weighted pack.

It’s a life-changing journey for participants as they walk or run as long as they can in the 20-hour period . . . Like the service members they honor, they carry more than they have to, longer than they think they can. Everyone is invited to participate no matter what your fitness level or ability. Come out and enjoy the walk as long as you can. You can participate on Sunday and then come back on Monday for the end of the walk and the closing ceremonies.

Carry The Load is a non-profit organization helping people celebrate a meaningful Memorial Day by conducting a 20-hour event that honors veterans and active duty service members, law enforcement officers, firefighters and their families.

Through event participation and sponsorship, CTL raises money to support our 2013 beneficiaries: Assist The Officer, Heroes On The Water, Friends of Dallas Fire-Rescue, Tip Of The Spear Foundation and Sons of the Flag Burn Foundation.
