The pumpkin patch at NorthPark Center is more than a beautiful sight this fall, it is also serving a purpose for a Dallas nonprofit.
NorthPark Center and Community Partners of Dallas will present the first-ever NorthPark Pumpkin Patch in CenterPark Garden from October 11 to November 3, 2024.
Visitors can look forward to photo opportunities, storytimes with Bookmarks, a Dallas Public Library, and whimsical scavenger hunts that will spark children's imagination and creativity.
Throughout the duration of the event, all change collected by the wishing well in the Pumpkin Patch, the Neiman Marcus Fountain, and the Dillard’s Fountain will be donated to CPD.
