Geography
Even though the Dallas area is mostly flat, Western Park is built on a large hill, and has all kinds of trees (even small palm trees) growing in the area. Downtown Dallas would be visible, but the trees go over the neighborhood, blocking its view.
Boundaries
Western Park's boundaries are unofficial, but the approximate boundaries are a former line of the Santa Fe railway to the south (owned by Dallas Area Rapid Transit but no plans exist for its use as a transit line), Duncanville Road to the West, South Walton Walker Boulevard on the Southwest, another former railway east of South Cockrell Hill Road to the east (planned as the Chalk Hill Trail) and West Illinois Avenue to the north (including neighborhood north of Illinois).
