Dragon Park

This small, hidden gem in Uptown Oak Lawn area is a magical pocket of greenery tucked away in between buildings. It’s a perfect spot to escape to read a book or photos, and the main entrance is located at Cedar Springs Rd and Hood St, but it’s easy to miss. There is a small terrace with benches that is ideal for a quiet lunch, and hidden among the foliage are a variety of angel, dragon fairy and gargoyle statues that make this a charming hideaway in the city. Butterflies, flowers and a small, ornate pavilion also add to the romantic ambiance.
