The Park will serve as a central gathering space for Dallas and its visitors to enjoy in the heart of the city. The 5.2-acre deck park will create an urban green space over the existing Woodall Rodgers Freeway between Pearl and St. Paul streets in downtown Dallas. Plans include a performance pavilion, restaurant, walking trails, a dog park, a children’s discovery garden and playground, water features, an area for games and much more.
Connectivity is central to The Park's purpose. The Park will promote increased pedestrian, trolley and bicycle use between Uptown, Downtown and the Arts District, contributing to a more walkable city center.
The Park will create a front lawn for the surrounding cultural
offerings including the Dallas Center for Performing Arts, the Dallas
Museum of Art, the Morton Meyerson Symphony Hall, the Nasher Sculpture
Center, the Trammell & Margaret Crow Collection of Asian Art, Booker
T. Washington High School for the Visual and Performing Arts and the
future Museum of Nature and Science.
Construction on the deck plaza began in October 2009. The base of
the park is expected to be complete in the spring with amenities
expected to be complete in late 2012.
