Autumn at the Trinity River Audubon Center
The Trinity River Audubon Center sits just southeast of downtown, a natural retreat in an urban area. A modern, asymmetrical building designed by architect Antoine Predock, opens up into 120 acres of The Great Trinity Forest. Once an illegal dumping site known as the Deepwood dump, this Audubon Center was reclaimed in 2008 as part of the City of Dallas Trinity River Corridor Project. Today visitors can wander five miles of trails through prairie and wetland ecosystems, around ponds and through hardwood forests. Earlier this year, the team at Trinity River Audubon Center was forced to pause its programs, but now the outdoor area is available with timed tickets to ensure social distancing.
