Garland, Texas is a large suburb located northwest of the city of Dallas.  The first people came to this area in the 1850’s as part of the Peters colony which spanned a large part of today’s Dallas County.  The city of Garland was born of two competing farming communities one named Duck Creek and the other, Embree.  Both communities were looking to lure citizens away from the other, and as part of a compromise, a post office was built between the two towns and they combined to form Garland, named after then Attorney General A.H. Garland.  The city was part of the suburban boom that took place nationwide after World War II and the population of Garland has pretty much doubled every decade since.  Today, over 230,000 people call Garland home.

 

Like many other cities in Dallas County, Garland has a rich heritage which can be seen as part of the historic downtown area, which features cultural centers, historic homes, specialty shops and restaurants.  For the nature lover, the city provides two areas where one can enjoy getting outdoors and experiencing the local natural habitats, the Rowlett Creek Preserve and the Spring Creek Reserve. You can also enjoy a day of golf at the Firewheel Golf Park which includes 63 holes on 600 acres of scenic wooded terrain.  If you’re looking to beat the heat in the summertime you can splash around at the Hawaiian Falls Waterpark.  There are many great places to shop in Garland as well, especially at the Firewheel Town Center and the Bass Pro Shops Garland.  This large Dallas suburb has something for everyone.

A great way to beat the summer heat in Texas is to visit the Hawaiian Falls Waterpark in Garland.  There is something for everyone at this 6-acre park that features waterslides, a lazy river, and an interactive water treehouse. 
You can spend your whole day golfing at the Firewheel Golf Park because it has 63 holes on over 600 acres of beautiful Texas woodland.  The size of the Firewhell Golf Park makes it the largest golfing facility in Texas and one of the biggest in the nation.
The Firewheel Town Center is an open air mall that has over 100 stores and restaurants surrounded by a beautifully landscaped park.  The center was designed in a new urbanism style that creates a warm community atmosphere.
The Rowlett Creek Preserve has one of the best mountain biking trails in the area.  The thirteen mile trail is suited for every skill level and provides a great day to challenge yourself and get away from the hassels of the city.
