Dallas ran out of money and sponsors for the other three bridges. They did build a "fake" Calatrava but he told them to take his name OFF and don't try to pedal it as his. Good idea but gone bad. Dallas always screws it up.

When it's not 100 degrees in Dallas, it is fun to walk across the bridge and see the skyline. Great location for a family photo. You can drive across to Trinty Groves, find a place to eat and then take a short walk and a photo on the bridge. Don't over do it! Enjoy the restaurants!!

The obvious thing to say about the MHHB is that it is a beautiful feature to the Dallas landscape. But what was actually shocking for me, personally, was that when I went to a jog along the bridge one Sunday morning, I only saw NORMAL people! I actually packed a loaded gat with me (just in case), but was pleased to learn that it was unwarranted. No unfortunate people confronted me, as might be predicted - if you've spent much time anywhere near the downtown region of Dallas. I have to exclaim, I'm super excited about all the places people can enjoy around Dallas now, without needing to be armed. Still, it's better to have your piece and not need it - than to need it and not have it. Just saying.

This is a great place to go for a free half mile or mile walk or bike ride. Just so there is no confusion, the new Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge is meant for cars. The Ronald Kirk Bridge and Felix H Lozada Sr. Gateway is the new name of the previous bridge, which has now been converted into a walking park. It is parallel and very close to the new bridge.
You may park for free at the west end of the bridge, and walk for free as well. Get to the free parking by driving to the end of Gulden Ave, which ends at the Trinity River. Porta Potties are available on the west side. The bridge has great views of downtown Dallas and the new Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. Bring a camera for photo opportunities. The walk is about a half mile or so. Bikes are permitted. There is a restaurant that's open after 5:00 pm. (St Roccos? We didn't eat there.) You may walk the long trails along the Trinity River, beginning at the west end of the bridge. There are antique stores near the east end of the bridge. A new restaurant just opened, "The District?", there also. There are other attractions nearby in Dallas within walking distance of the east end of the bridge. We recommend this place for a free walk or ride with great views of the city. Drawbacks - Plan for plenty of wind, and of course it's outdoors, so dress appropriately.

This is a beautiful bridge across Trinity River just beyond Downtown. Be it dawn, dusk, or night, this place offers a unique view at each time.
There's plenty to do here. It has a pedestrian bridge which runs in parallel where you can enjoy a stroll/ exercise or just sit back & relax while people stroll by.
Bonus - you get one of the most amazing views of downtown buildings from here.
Come down with a bicycle and you can ride along Trinity river trail which is part paved.
When done with all the exercise, walk down to Trinity Groves which offers pretty good food options and has beautifully lit trees in the parking area at night.

The bridge is a feat of architecture. Public parking is available so you can park and walk through a boardwalk. Benches and nice picture spots throughout. Take a picture showing the Dallas skyline and the magnificent bridge.

Only saw this from my room at Hyatt Regency Dallas, but it was a beautiful site when I looked out my window.

It provided a nice, scenic walk with my granddaughter and my great grandpuppy. Water features and nice folks encountered on the route

The place though beautiful only has one viewing point. The trinity overlook is crowded and full of what seemed like suspicious groups after dark. Used to love going here but not anymore.

Hello! In your review of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge in Dallas you mentioned a place to park. Would it be possible to explain where that parking would be? Thank you!!
Written October 2, 2017
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.
Written October 3, 2017
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.

Where can I park to access the bridge? I just went down there and all of the parking stated that it was for Trinity Groves only and that there was No Bridge Parking. I don't want to get towed! Thank you!
Written June 6, 2016
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.

Are dogs allowed at the park. I believe I read that some of the restaurants are dog friendly?
Written May 13, 2016
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.

Is it ok to use as a photography spot for prom? Is there a Do and Do Not list?
Written April 29, 2016
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.
