Hey Neighbors! We’re curious. Are you interested and able to get involved with a neighborhood group to help push support to get some maintenance done in our neighborhood like a new street light at Barnes Bridge/Ferguson Rd?

Want to share this very important topic about the proposal for trash pick up to go curbside instead of alleyway. If you can attend the meetings and voice your concerns, we encourage you to do so! We like our alley pick up for so many reasons!!!

Hi Everyone!
I would like to invite you to a Braeburn Glen and Other Nearby Neighborhoods Meeting (that would primarily be St. Andrews, Casa View Gill, Briarwood, and Club Manor). The meeting will be at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, 8 August 2023, at the City Church Garland located behind San Francisco de Asis Church at 11540 Ferguson Road. Our guest speaker will be Major Phyllis Nobles who is the current commander of the NE DPD Division. I met her awhile back at the storm shortened “Meet and Greet” and she should be very interesting as a guest speaker. I look forward to seeing everyone!

I have lived in the Braeburn Glen neighborhood by Cotillion Park now for almost 31 years. During that time I have had to repeatedly chase off ATV riders that have NO respect for our beautiful little park. Yesterday, however, was the worst damage that I have ever seen and it was done by the person shown in the attached photo. Myself and another neighbor both attempted to confront him to tell him to leave and he finally did as I was taking his picture. He immediately sped off into the Casa View Gill neighborhood. By the fact that he sped off like that tells me that he KNEW he shouldn't have been doing what he was doing and OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T CARE about the damage he did or that he put kids and families at risk that were in the park. The second attached photo shows just SOME of the damage he did.........there is MUCH more than that if you care to walk around the park and see it for yourself. I know that someone out there knows who this person is. We need to keep him from EVER doing this again. PLEASE private message me with any information you have about this person and I will pass it along to DPD so that they can impress upon him that this is ILLEGAL and will NOT be tolerated. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Why so trashy cotillion park users? This is SO disappointing to see. Trash all over the park from those who use it over the weekend. Picking up your trash is not only the best for all, the environment, it’s also the law. Sad that people are so disrespectful to everyone who enjoys the park. Stop being selfish, pick up YOUR trash and dispose of it properly, it’s not hard and it’s not expensive. Do better, be better!!!

Happy Women's History Month and International Women's Day today! Thank you to all the women who have made local, state and national parks a place to enjoy nature for the public of all ages! From our local City of Dallas Park & Recreation board rep Maria Bionde Hasbany to all of the female park rangers (too many to name) and women in the City of Dallas Parks & Recreation staff too. One of our founders aunt Cindy Nielsen had a long and successful career with the National Park Service (and took him on many park adventures over the years), serving in Grand Teton, Death Valley, Channel Islands, Glacier, Navajo NM, Roosevelt-Vanderbilt NHS and Albright Training Center located in Grand Canyon National Park. She garnered many awards for her work and she retired in 2007 as superintendent of Great Basin National Park in Nevada and had since lived in Moab, Utah before passing in 2012. Both of our founders have Mom's who took them out as soon as they could walk to enjoy parks, beaches and the outdoors both in California and Indiana. Want to read more about Women in National Park History? Check this article out & tell us YOUR stories about inspirational women in your life!

From the lives of young, immigrant women who worked the textile mills at Lowell National Historic Park to those of the female shipyard workers who were essential to the home front during World War II at Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historic Park, women’s history can be found ...

We'd like to thank Dallas Police Department - Northeast Division & Dallas Police Department and our neighborhood advocates for getting this installed and helping keep an eye on Cotillion Park. Many enjoy the park, and many are apprehensive and want to enjoy it, but are concerned due to crime and incidents. We'd like the park to be safer and hope this step puts us in the right direction for everyone!
