A rendering of the Bachman Greenbelt
Friends of Bachman Lake was founded in 2019 with the mission of protecting and improving Dallas’ open spaces in and around Bachman Lake. Bachman Lake was originally constructed in 1903 by damming the Bachman Branch of the Trinity River Elm Fork and creating a 205 acre water source for Dallas residents. The Lake is the northern border of Dallas Love Field Airport and is the third largest body of water in the City of Dallas, hosting more daily visitors than Klyde Warren Park!
Northwest Dallas has one of the lowest concentrations of open spaces in the city and is home to many communities that do not have safe, convenient, and affordable access to parks and natural spaces. For this reason Friends of Bachman Lake (FoBL) advocates for the park and its local residents and seeks to:
- Have a clean and safe park
- Improve biking and walking safety and trail connectivity
- Increase access to green spaces
- Improve park amenities and facilities

Giving Activity
Mission
Friends of Bachman Lake is a volunteer organization for the support, maintenance and beautification of Bachman Lake Park and surrounding communities.
Needs
The Bachman Lake Greenbelt is an urban oasis that needs your help. We are looking to raise an initial $26,000 during this campaign. We are aiming to plant native species of trees, ground cover and other vegetation to crowd out the invasive species beginning this fall. Our goal is to seed and maintain several acres each year. Please help restore this area to a natrual arboretum right in our back yard!
Won't you or your business help?
Thanks to you, we have made Bachman Lake Park a center of activity, an example of community-driven success, and the true recreational jewel of northwest Dallas. Please help us keep it that way and make it even better!
Equity Statement
Through our events, promotions, recruitment and communication efforts, we affirm our commitment to representing the diverse residents surrounding Bachman Lake, honoring the area's history and its continuing evolution as a dynamic, multi-cultural, multi-lingual community.
