Oversized holiday decorations are set up as props at four parks in Dallas.

Stacks of red ornaments have been placed at Samuell-Grand Park in East Dallas and Bachman Lake Park near Preston Hollow. There’s a giant teddy bear at Kidd Springs in Oak Cliff, and Santa’s sleigh is at Willie B. Johnson Recreation Center near Hamilton Park.

The props will be set up until Jan. 6.

Share the photos with park and rec on Instagram or Facebook by tagging @DallasParkRec and using #DallasParksHolidays.

See more updates, including new hours at rec centers starting January 2023, in the latest Dallas Park and Recreation video.

Another holiday photo opportunity is available at Mockingbird Station through the end of December. Find more information here.
