Spend a day on the river at Trammell Crow Park
Around 4 miles north of Bishop Arts District, Trammell Crow Park sits next to the Sylvan Avenue Bridge within the grassy oasis of the Trinity River greenbelt. Trammell Crow parkgoers can use the park’s boat launch and trailer parking to enjoy a day of canoeing or kayaking on the river.Trammell Crow Park features more than 6 miles of walking trails along the Trinity Skyline and Trinity Levee Top Loop trails, which connect with other trails coursing through the city.

Celebrate Bastille Day on North Bishop Avenue
In honor of the Bishop Arts District’s historical roots in the French colony La Réunion that settled here in the 1850s, the community celebrates Bastille Day every July 14th. North Bishop Avenue is closed to through traffic, and French music plays while neighbors and tourists enjoy French food and shop at local vendors’ booths. In February, residents can run in the annual Dash for the Beads 5K Race, which coincides with the Go Oak Cliff Mardi Gras Parade, another event of French origin.
