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 West Kiest Boulevard to the South, Duncanville Road to the West, South Walton Walker Boulevard on the Southwest, South Cockrell Hill Road on the East (including apartments to the east) and West Illinois Avenue to the north (including neighborhood north of Illinois)
