Parks & Recreation

Right in the middle of the town is Preston Hollow Park, which has two baseball fields, a basketball court, playground, picnic tables, and trails everywhere! The homeowner's associations organize all kinds of groups and clubs in the area that use the parks and local neighborhoods.

Attractions

For practical shopping, locals enjoy the options of Whole Foods, Central Market, TJ’s Fresh Seafood, Tom Thumb, and Natural Grocers, which are all within a mile of each other. And they’re excited that Trader Joe’s is on its way soon! NorthPark Center, of course, is a flagship of Dallas shopping. Bachendorf’s, La Lobe (the place to get your piercings), and Adrift (a new, one-of-a-kind float spa) are also favorites.

Schools

Most of Preston Hollow's families send their children to private school, so there are many to choose from! Ursuline Academy of Dallas, a Catholic girls' high school, is located in the Estate area of Preston Hollow, while non-Catholic private schools within Preston Hollow North include St. Mark's School of Texas for grades 1-12 and Preston Hollow Presbyterian School (grades 1-6), Episcopal School of Dallas (pre-K-12), and Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas, with many other private schools surrounding the area.

Southern Methodist University is only 10 minutes from Preston Hollow.
