Trinity River Audubon Center

The Trinity River Audubon Center, located eight minutes from downtown Dallas on 120 acres, opened October 2008 and is part of the City of Dallas-Trinity River Corridor Project. The land, formerly an illegal dump site, has been reclaimed by the City of Dallas and features trails in the Great Trinity Forest as well as restored wetlands and prairies.
