A parking lot near the Dos Equis pavilion at Fair Park will soon be a 14-acre community park with playgrounds, picnic spaces, water fountains and more.
"This goes back decades to a time when the city of Dallas unfortunately took away many homes in the surrounding area. And it left a really deep wound in the surrounding community," said Brian Luallen, the CEO of Fair Park First.
Luallen said part of the promise to the residents at the time was that there would be a beautiful community gathering place. That never really happened.RELATED:"In many ways we see this as a red carpet of sorts, or green carpet in this case, that will serve as a new front porch for Fair Park," Luallen said.
The new renderings show off the planned garden, picnic and dog areas. There will also be a stage and pavilion, water features and multiple playgrounds, including an all-abilities playground. "It’s going to serve as a major new regional attraction and, at the same time, serving over 11 neighborhoods that don’t have a walkable park today," Luallen said. Funding will come from the $85 million Fair Park Your Park Capital Campaign that was launched in 2021.
