DALLAS — Tucked along the banks of Turtle Creek in the Highland Park neighborhood, a group of oversized stone teddy bears quietly charms visitors of all ages. These whimsical sculptures have been a beloved part of Lakeside Park since 1995, blending playful nostalgia with the park’s serene natural setting.

Created by artist J.T. Williams and gifted by a generous local donor, the bears were designed to spark joy and evoke the warmth of childhood. Over the years, they’ve become a cherished Dallas landmark, often spotted in family portraits, engagement photos, and social media snaps.

Set across 14 beautifully maintained acres, Lakeside Park offers sweeping lawns, scenic footbridges, and tranquil creek views. Established in the early 1900s, it remains one of Dallas’ most picturesque and peaceful public spaces—perfect for a morning walk or an afternoon escape.

The Teddy Bear statues are nestled in the southern end of the park near Beverly Drive, with nearby street parking and easy access for those exploring on foot. Open from dawn to dusk daily, the park provides a quiet, whimsical retreat just minutes from the city’s urban energy.

Whether you’re reliving childhood memories or discovering the bears for the first time, a visit to Lakeside Park offers a timeless and heartwarming experience.
