Sachse is a North Dallas suburb with rural and suburban appeal
Situated between the President George Bush Turnpike and Lake Lavon, Sachse (SACK-see) is a Dallas suburb on the outer edges of the DFW Metroplex. “When I started in 2004 we were a population of 10,000,” says Lance Whitworth, Director of Leisure Services for the City of Sachse. “Now we’re 30,000. And like other cities in North Dallas and Collins County, it’s grown quite a bit.” Sachse is rapidly increasing its services to meet demand, with new parks, additional recreation center programming and expanded library services. Its location on the eastern edge of the Metroplex gives Sachse a rare and increasingly appealing mix of rural and suburban.
Sachse is a large community with tower trees and many neighborhoods to choose from.

The park system in Sachse is expanding to meet community needs
The playground sticks to the firefighting theme at Firefighters Park, where kids swoop down red-and-yellow slides and ride the kiddie zipline. There's a walking trail here too. The Sachse volunteer fire department helped raise the funds for this popular spot. “We just finished the J.K. Sachse Park," Whitworth says. “It has a splash pad, a new pavilion, a restroom and sand volleyball.” Pickleball courts are on the way. Heritage Park is in the middle of a major expansion. Campers have their pick of more than 225 campsites around Lake Lavon, which is about 7 miles northeast of Sachse and one of the largest lakes north of Dallas. This recreational hub has 121 miles of shoreline, 5 beaches and numerous boat ramps. In Sachse, golfers hit the links at the public Woodbridge Golf Course.
