Springhill Retreat Center
Springhill Retreat Center is a non-denominational recreation and meeting facility owned by PHPC. It is available for use by churches of all denominations as well as educational, business, and not-for-profit groups.
Springhill is located on the north side of Renner Road in northeast Richardson, fairly close to Wylie. It consists of 50 wooded acres reminiscent of the Texas Hill Country, complete with a limestone-lined, spring-fed creek flowing through the woods and large ponds surrounded by beautiful native trees and foliage.
