One of the ten largest cities in Texas, Garland is located in the greater Dallas region, and is strategically located in close proximity to the major Dallas attractions to make it feasible for visitors to travel to and from the city. A popular destination amongst both business and tourist visitors to Dallas, Garland also has plenty to offer in its own right, and is a hub for culture and the arts.
The Patty Granville Arts Center is home to several theatres and exhibitions, and is a municipal-owned and sponsored attraction hosting performing arts throughout the year. The landmark Plaza Theatre in Garland also hosts events and conferences alongside theatre and regular concerts, helping cement Garland as a cultural center of the region.
Alongside the extensive Garland public park system, the Lake Ray Hubbard and Lake Lavon are well-stocked for fishing enthusiasts, and equally excellent facilities for water sports, sailing and other lake pursuits.
