Dellwood Park
 Hwy

This beautiful 45-acre municipal park was once the site
of a well-known health resort famous for it mineral
springs. Nearly a century ago the lavish Dellwood Hotel
stood near the springs and was a popular choice for
Confederate conventions and political rallies. Long
before tourism, the Caddo Indians had campgrounds there
and were thought to have used the springs for medicinal
purposes. The 80-room resort was vacant by 1925 when
it burned to the ground. The mineral springs have long
been capped, but the original Dellwood Hotel steps remain
in the park identified by a Texas historical marker.
The park has a swimming pool, jogging trail, nature
trail, tennis courts, picnic tables, pavilion, playground
and sports fields.
