Quick background
The Preston Ridge Trail is the result of progressive thinking by county, city, and community leaders, along with ONCOR. Dallas County and the City of Dallas officials made the first move in 1999 as a part of the County's Park and Open Space Program. At a cost of $1.2 million, the 4.8-mile Phase I was funded by Dallas County in 2003. Dallas City Council member Sandy Greyson was a big advocate for a suburban trail and was instrumental in allocating funding to expand the Preston Ridge Trail 1.5 miles north from McCallum to the Bush Tollway. Since 2003, The Friends of Preston Ridge Trail has served as community advocates for the Trail and advisors on its beautification.
