Friends of the Park

30 Aug


The Woodall Rodgers Park Foundation presents “Friends of The Park”, a membership group founded to capture the momentum and excitement for The upcoming Park’s opening in 2012. To increase awareness and support for The Park this group gives back through social and educational events, community involvement, as well as fundraising.

Want a great view of the city? The Park will serve as a central gathering space for Dallas and its visitors to enjoy 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 are to include a performance pavilion for concerts and events, fabulous restaurants, shaded walking paths, a dog park, a children’s discovery garden and playground, beauiful landscaped lawns, water features, areas for games and much more!

The Park will also create a front lawn for the surrounding cultural offerings including the AT&T Performing Arts Center, Dallas Museum of Art, Morton Meyerson Symphony Hall, Nasher Sculpture Center, Trammell & Margaret Crow Collection of Asian Art, Booker T. Washington High School for the Visual &Performing Arts, and the future Perot Museum of Nature and Science.
The Park will promote increased pedestrian, trolley and bicycle use between the Uptown, Downtown and the Arts District. With this contribution it will provide a more walkable friendly area for residents and visitors!…..These boots were made for walking!…..

Help support the Friends of the Park by enjoying a lovely fall evening with cocktails and bites, and get to know first hand the latest developments the Park has to offer!
