Located just 13 miles away from downtown Dallas, in the new Huffines Signature Community of Solterra Texas, The Lookout—also known as Solterra Texas Treehouse Park—is capturing the attention of families and adventure-seekers across DFW. Located only 30 minutes from downtown Dallas, Solterra offers the perfect blend of peaceful living and vibrant amenities, including a 25-acre lake, an expansive amenity center, and a beautifully designed promenade.
But it’s The Lookout that’s quickly becoming the star of the show.
Designed by Nelson Treehouse—the team behind Treehouse Masters on Animal Planet—this park isn’t your typical treehouse. Built around a mature oak, the space features suspended rope bridges, netted climbing areas, and winding walkways that elevate playtime to new heights. It’s one of the few public projects by Nelson Treehouse, designed specifically to bring neighbors together.
“Usually our treehouses are private retreats,” shared Tobias Maloy, Project Manager at Nelson Treehouse. “This one was about connection—bringing people into nature and into community.”
Texans have long embraced the whimsy and wonder of treehouses, and The Lookout taps into that love for nature, imagination, and togetherness. It’s more than just a playground—it’s a one-of-a-kind gathering spot and architectural gem.
Whether you’re considering a move or just looking for your next weekend adventure, Solterra’s Treehouse Park is a must-visit destination in East DFW.
