Overview
Bachman Lake is one of Dallas's most complete outdoor recreation destinations. The 3.08-mile hike-and-bike loop circles a stocked fishing lake, passing picnic areas and a historic pavilion. Two playgrounds anchor the family area. The skate park draws older kids and teens. Bachman Family Aquatic Center opens seasonally for water play; the indoor Recreation Center pool runs year-round with five 25-meter lanes, a spa, and locker rooms. A 16-station exercise circuit lines the trail.
