About the Park. Our mission is to provide free programming and educational opportunities for the enrichment of visitors’ lives, to showcase the diverse multitude of cultures and talents Dallas has to offer, and to be a town square where citizens may congregate and create traditions together. The 5.2-acre park relies on contributions from donors to keep it clean, safe and active for more than one million visitors each year.

On top of being the premier destination for jogging, biking, skating, and walking in the city, the Katy Trail also hosts exciting events, including the annual Katy 5K presented by Michelob ULTRA. Residents and visitors alike take advantage of the 30-acre park, as well as 125 acres of urban parkland connected by the pedestrian and bike trails. The history of the Katy Trail stretches back nearly a hundred years to the age of railroads. Union Pacific Railroad built the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad and established the network in 1865 as the Southern Branch.
