DALLAS -- King Bridge Crossing is a small, gated community tucked into West Dallas, across Fish Trap Lake from Pinkston High School and the Rangers Urban Youth Academy.
The houses are made of brick and wood, painted immaculately in light brown with manicured lawns and trimmed bushes, with backyards decorated in satellite dishes and barbecue grills. Nearby communities Villa Creek and Hampton at Lakewest have the same special character.
They are run by the Dallas Housing Authority and the Mercy Street Sports Complex, part of a community the Rangers targeted with their MLB Youth Academy. But the Rangers are doing more in the neighborhood than just rolling out baseballs.
