The historic Cedar Springs Cascade Waterfall has been fully restored through a $300,000 revitalization made possible by the generosity of our community.
A transformational $200,000 gift from Together for Good: The Salka Family Impact Group, combined with a $100,000 gift from Dr. Thomas H. McConnell III, brought this iconic Turtle Creek Park landmark back to life, preserving it for neighbors and visitors to enjoy for generations to come.
Proposed Viewing Area
Looking ahead, The Conservancy envisions a scenic, ADA-accessible viewing area overlooking the Cascade Waterfall, creating a welcoming destination where visitors can pause, enjoy the sounds of the water, and experience one of Turtle Creek Park’s most iconic landmarks. Future philanthropic support will help bring this vision to life.
