Originally planned to cover 200 acres within the floodway, the park, honoring the late Harold Simmons, a local businessman, will now be built west of the floodway and be 250 acres. The new parcel of land will include overlook areas and development within the floodway. The latest rendering shows the park extending out on the Trinity River’s west side to the north of Commerce Street bridge and the south of the Union Pacific railway.
Among the ways Print shops contribute to a community is by creating detail maps of large parks and areas within a city.
Recently the organization responsible for making the park a reality, The Trinity Park Conservancy, introduced the revised plan describing the park as being an urban recreational park that is:
“located in the center of Dallas with a river in the center of the park”.
Sustainable elements are being included in the park such as the use of natural light, porches, and solar collectors with comfortable spaces set aside for activities as well as quiet reflection. Also, within the park will be two acres dedicated to bike and skate parks, courts for a variety of sports, a roller-skating rink, a cable ferry for youngsters and six “play towers” featuring different themes.
The park is expected to break ground in 2024.
