Location

Knoll Trail station is a DART Silver Line commuter rail station in Dallas, Texas.

The station is located in Far North Dallas near the intersection of Arapaho Road and the Dallas North Tollway. It serves adjacent apartment and office complexes, ^[1] as well as Prestonwood Town Center. The station is also a connection point for service to Galleria Dallas and the proposed Dallas Midtown development. ^[2] Unlike most DART stations, Knoll Trail does not have a dedicated parking lot. ^[3]

The station is decorated with an "urban refuge" theme. ^[4]

History

In 1990, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) purchased a former St. Louis Southwestern Railway corridor between Fort Worth and Plano for a future commuter rail line. ^[5]

In 2006, the city of Dallas proposed a development plan for the Far North Dallas segment of the corridor. The plan proposed three stations on the segment, including one at Knoll Trail. ^[6] The other two Far North Dallas stations (located at Preston Road and Coit Road) would later be removed from the plan, ^[7] but Knoll Trail was retained.

In 2017, developers for the Dallas Midtown project (located 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south of the rail line at the former site of Valley View Center) proposed an elevated transit system connecting the project and Knoll Trail station. ^{[8] [9]}

The station opened, alongside the rest of the Silver Line, on October 25, 2025. ^[10]
