After more than 20 years, work finally begins on a new a world-class park along the Trinity River in Dallas. It'll be called Harold Simmons Park.
Developers say Harold Simmons Park is designed to be more than just a place for Dallas to play and relaxFor more than 20 years, Dallas has envisioned a world-class park along the Trinity River. After years of sometimes bitter debate and ill-fated plans, work is finally set to begin on the sprawling park.
"This is a nature park," Moore said. Visitors will be able to access the preserve using paths and trails linking the various attractions. "Can you imagine a flea market happening in this space? Can you imagine a farmer's market heavily populated as people go back and forth?" Moore asked. Construction officially begins October 22nd with what park officials are calling Demo Day. It will take several months to clear park sites and then three years to build the first phases of the project.
