Dedicated to connecting the community and enriching lives, Klyde Warren Park hosts more than 1,300 free programs and events each year. In addition to its fitness and educational offerings, the Park also hosts movie screenings, festivals, concerts, and holiday celebrations. Major features include a children’s park, dog park, great lawn, performance pavilion, restaurant, reading and games room, and five water features. Plans for an expansion will add 1.7 acres to this 5.2-acre deck park, which is built over a highway and has created a true town square for the City of Dallas.

Klyde Warren Park announced that Jacobs has donated $8 million to the project that will expand the beloved greenspace 1.65 acres to the west over Woodall Rodgers Freeway toward Field Street.
It includes a collection of photos of Black people who have been victims of violence – from hate crimes, officer-involved shootings, bombings and assassinations.
The High Line gave impetus to the idea of adding greenery to infrastructure that is raised off the ground. Conceived, funded and built by the nonprofit Friends of the High Line, the park has inspired so many infrastructure-reuse projects that its founders formed the High Line Network to help others learn the ropes — and avoid pitfalls.
