Description
Located in DeSoto with a Cedar Hill address, the 72.8-acre preserve was originally slated for residential development before Dallas County acquired the land in 1993. Maintained by the City of DeSoto, the park was renamed in January 2022 to honor Paul S. Dryer for over three decades of volunteer work. Across the grounds, visitors value the site for its great views, with picnic tables and parking available on-site.
