Allow nature to do the work for a more sustainable Dallas | Opinion
Rain gardens trap water, which will slowly soak into the soil.Dallas is a diverse and growing community, but it currently sits at a unique crossroads as decision-makers and leaders develop a plan for the city’s future.
Our two organizations are putting these ideas into practice. In November, Trust for Public Land commemorated the grand opening of South Oak Cliff Renaissance Park. There’s a lot to celebrate here, from the park’s solar-powered lights and innovative playground to its two state-of-the-art bioretention rain gardens.
As we have seen at South Oak Cliff Renaissance Park, nature is infrastructure, and it needs to be prioritized as such in our cities. Nature-based solutions such as bioretention areas and healthy street trees can address multiple challenges such as urban flooding, water quality, cleaning the air and keeping temperatures cool during summertime heat waves. And the best part is, natural solutions are often less costly.
