Walnut Hill station is a DART Light Rail station in Dallas, Texas. It is served by the Red Line and the Orange Line.[1] The elevated station is located at the intersection of Walnut Hill Lane and Manderville Lane, roughly halfway between North Central Expressway (US 75) and Greenville Avenue, with exits on both the northern and southern sides of Walnut Hill Lane.
The station serves the northern portions of the Vickery Meadow neighborhood,[4] including Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital and the mixed-use development The Hill.[5]
In tribute to the hospital, the station's columns are decorated with health-related words, and the station contains four pendulums representing that "time heals". The façade was created by local artist Linnea Glatt as part of DART's Station Art & Design Program.[6][7]
Walnut Hill station was opened on July 1, 2002 as part of the Red Line's second expansion.[3] The station was one of four elevated stations in the expansion, alongside Spring Valley, Forest Lane, and a rebuilt Park Lane.[6]
At opening, Walnut Hill had no passenger parking, as it was considered a "destination" station,[8] though a 200-space parking lot was proposed.[6] In 2005, following a spike in ridership brought about by high gas prices, DART announced that parking would be added to the station by the end of 2006.[9]
