Boy Scout Hill - White Rock Lake

NOTE:THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE SMALL GREEN SPACE WITH ONE PICNIC PAVILION, HIGH ABOVE BUCKNER BLVD, OVERLOOKING THE LAKE AND DALLAS SKYLINE it’s confusing because on the map there is this map marker listing which is called Boy Scout Hill Pavilion, which is located on the lake grounds. There is also a marker labeled just Boy Scout Hill, which is a picnic ground overlooking the lake, above Buckner Blvd. At this time, it is not possible to leave a review on the Boy Scout Hill picnic grounds marker, which needs to be corrected by Google Maps, and I am working on that. ————————————————- Boy Scout Hill is a small green space tucked away on Peavy Rd, elevated above bustling Buckner Boulevard. It’s a “hidden gem“, because unless you know where it is, you won’t accidentally drive by it or notice that it is there. It provides an envious and unique view of our in-city jewel White Rock Lake … with a stunning view of the Dallas skyline in the background. Besides providing some peace and tranquility or a great photo-op, the small park also contains a covered shelter house with some picnic tables, and a small paved parking lot.

The trails are paved and clean. There is rarely parking on the weekends at this location though .I've also gotten my wallet stolen out of my car not once but TWICE. This is a nice spot on top of the hill to park for a walk along the lake, but take your valuables!

This is one of our "go-to" picnic spots! And we can let Doggy run around. We have a secluded spot picked out.

Great views of the lake, a nice walkway and perfect picnic spots!

Very peaceful place. Son got to save a snake that was entangled in a net someone left behind.

This is a great place to exercise, socialize your dog, and people watch. I can't wait to go paddleboarding once the weather gets a little warmer.

Was a very nice park Playground: Yes nice place Restrooms: Yes Dog-friendliness: You can take your pet Picnic area: Yes nice area

100 degree weather broke this weekend. Getting re lief from Gulf hurricane aftermath , 8 mile wind from lake direction couldn't have asked for a more marvelous walk in excess of 4 miles in 69 minutes.

Took my dog SPORKY here for a walk, he was able to run around and stretch his legs. This location is close to the boat launch area, pretty easy to find.

Good place for a barbecue. Family and dogs
