It looks like some of the parking has become more strict. when we went back the lot we parked in now says for trinity groves only. although the restaurants and shops might be able to give you a parking voucher if you ask.

If you are driving through downtown, go past the Klyde Warren Park, Perot Museum and look for the Bridge in front of you. If you cross it, you will be on Singleton Blvd. Trinity Groves is on the other side of the Bridge. Use Google maps and look between these landmarks for specific directions.

If crossing the Margaret Hunt Hill bridge from downtown Dallas you will turn right (north) onto Gulden at the traffic light just before Trinity Groves. Follow Gulden two or three blocks north until it ends at the levee and becomes Canada St. Instead of turning left onto Canada turn right into the parking lot. There are two or three dozen parking spots that lead right up to both bridges.

The walkway of the bridge close at 10pm.

Dogs are allowed on and around the Continental Street Bridge park which is right beside the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. Normal Dallas rules apply - keep dogs on leash and be prepared to pick up after them. Dogs are also welcome at Trinity Groves which is the restaurant incubator at the west end of the bridge. There's more on their website about that... Google Trinity Groves dogs and they have a page that talks about dogs being welcomed on the large porch that each restaurant has.

Shooting pictures on the bridge won't provide a broad enough background showing the bridge's appeal. There is a second bridge that runs parallel and can provide a wider background showing more of the unique bridge but is still close enough to recognize the faces of your subjects.
