Dimension Tract
Located at 1199 Elm Park Drive, the Dimension Tract is a secluded thirty-eight acre
parcel of undeveloped land along the Elm Fork of the Trinity River. The natural
parkland features a 14-acre pond, 3.5 acres of wetlands, 9 acres of river bottom
timber and a blanket of native vegetation on the remaining 11.5 acres. This property
has a canoe and kayak launch on-site on the Trinity River.
This City-owned land has suffered through years of nuisance activities including
illegal dumping, abandoned cars, and damage from four-wheelers that threatened the
property. Now, through the City and regional government support and community
involvement, it’s becoming a welcome haven for nature lovers and sports enthusiasts.
The Dimension Tract is a point of pride for the Carrollton community, and a valued
site for regional recreation and environmental activities. For additional information
