Reverchon Park was planned to be the crown jewel of the Dallas park system and was even referred to as the "[[Central Park]]" of Dallas. Improvements were made throughout the years, including the Iris Bowl, picnic settings, a baseball diamond, and tennis courts. The Iris Bowl celebrated many Greek pageants, dances, and other performances. The Gill Well was installed for nearby residents and drew people all across Texas who wanted to experience the water's healing powers.<ref>{{Cite web|title = The History of Reverchon Park & the Iris Bowl {{!}} Arborilogical|url = http://www.arborilogical.com/uncategorized/the-history-of-reverchon-park-and-the-iris-bowl/|website = www.arborilogical.com|access-date = September 26, 2015}}</ref> The baseball diamond was host to a 1953 exhibition game for the [[New York Giants (baseball team)|New York Giants]] and the [[Cleveland Indians season 1936|Cleveland Indians]].<ref>{{Cite web|title = Neighborhood|url = https://www.turtlecreekassociation.org/neighborhood|website = www.turtlecreekassociation.org|access-date = September 26, 2015}}</ref>
