Friends of Bachman Lake

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 historic 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
