Recently, while doing some research for this story, I ran a Google search for Frisco, and the first image that popped up was a dusky aerial view of the flyover interchange where the Sam Rayburn and Dallas North tollways meet.

The park’s most dramatic element is a whimsical, polychromatic installation by Boston-based artist Janet Echelman that flutters, waves, sways and otherwise hovers above the landscaped “Arts Plaza” at the northern end of the park.as it is called, is composed of some 89 miles of braided fiber netting held aloft by steel stanchions that suspend it, at its highest points, 65 feet above ground.
