ABOUT FRIENDS OF REVERCHON PARK:
In 2005, a group of concerned citizens formally established Friends of Reverchon Park as a nonprofit corporation to unite the community in support of this historic Dallas landmark. Friends of Reverchon Park is dedicated to educating the community about the 46-acre park and raising funds for the restoration efforts. The group is currently working with the City of Dallas to implement the Reverchon Park Restoration and Development Plan.
