It'll be so nice! Can't wait to walk through it!

Seems like an awfully small park for what has been promised to the citizens of Dallas for years. Truly a shame that Dallas cannot live up to the promises it makes. The park should have been developed years ago and should have included a much larger space all along the Trinity River.

dallas is quietly developing a great park system with Klyde Warren, The Ron Kirk bridge park, the future deck park in oak cliff, all the new parks in downtown, the new park at fair park and now the harold simmons park!

Something tells me that this park is about traffic and the "remarketing" or marketing of Dallas as a city. In response to the projected 3 million plus visitors consider the better than most but pretty low 1-2% metro population growth rate and even lower for Dallas proper. Consider the yearly 4.0% increase in municipal cost common to suburban planning. Consider the outstanding 2.5-3.5% growth rate of the Dallas economy. Consider the yearly 4-5% increase in property values. This project is needed but maybe they don't need to attract so many people. They will likely be from DFW and take away revenue from their own cities, which need foot traffic themselves to off set municipal cost and with the economy doing so well in Dallas the traffic might cause a bit too much gentrification and inflation in the area, displacing the locals. IMOP it functions well as an end of the day retreat for local downtown dwellers and maybe a weekend outing for suburbanites but is being positioned as something else. Even when the surrounding trinity groves commercial office development is built, the HSR, Hunt realty reunion development and convention center district, it might be a lot for visitors to be congested right there in a new part of town. In that way, a roi on property values would be my aim and reinvestment towards the inevitable displacement...unless like everyone starts using DART or they build a line(A FEW) or trolley or something

When will ground break?

Very nice!

Not parks, but plazas (places). A plaza is the larger place that contains many parks, trails and other attractions like the Turtle Creek, White Rock, or North Oak Cliff areas. One shouldn't be building a park for today; but; it should be built for tomorrow's enjoyment. A park is a two dimensional thing that city officials force upon their taxpayers. A plaza is a pretty overall area recognized by the people which will trigger gentrification. Once the city takes over that development trying to gentrify the whole city, it is all over but the Taps played on a bugel.

Looking forward to this park. 🎉🎉

How exciting! When built, it will be a true destination nature park for all to enjoy from all directions of the city and beyond.
