*DART: DART O and DART GDART BUS ROUTE 49 and TRE Train system. To go to Parkland or Children's use DART bus 49 and take the Motor street exit. This will also take you to County Medical Services BLDG like the county STD Clinic. For that you will walk left under the bridge to a Gray building which is easy to find. It will be mark as County Medical(free)Services. To go to the Parkland or Children's you go Right. Go past the Denny's restaurant. It will be obvious because you can clearly see the Parkland and Children hospital towers behind the tree line. TRE drops you off at the Emergency entrance to Parkland and Children's Hospital. Aprox time 3 min walk to Parkland and 7 min walk to Children's. Now if you just happen to have a sick child just go through the Parkland emergency exit. The staff will rush your child through an emergency rush tunnel that connects parkland and Children's. This way you don't walk all the way to Children's. Again only take these routes in non emergency situations like an appointment or to choose a doctor. Always call 911 for emergencies. Something to remember there is NO BUS SERVICE (ROUTE 49) on Sundays. For more info go to www.dart.org. One more thing if you take the bus you are looking at a good 15 min walk UPHILL. Factor in weather and if you have small children with you. Best way is to make your way to Union station in downtown Dallas and take their TRE Westbount.
