The city of Dallas, Texas is set to launch development and construction of what is being proposed as ‘one of America’s greatest urban parks’.

Designs for the 10,000-acre Trinity River Park by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates (MVVA), were unveiled by Mayor Mike Rawlings earlier in the year, but in October 2016, a $50 million donation from Annette Simmons in honour of her late husband Harold Simmons, has pushed the project closer to becoming a reality.

The park will be 10 times the size of New York’s Central Park and will comprise 7,000-acres of the Great Trinity Forest, 2,000-acres of space between the Trinity River levees, and 1,000-acres of space that has already been developed.

Following the ideas guiding landscape urbanism, the designs intend to try and connect the river with the city, creating a ‘beautiful and naturalistic network of trails, meadows and lakes’.

In addition to this, the area between the land and river will try to restore the ‘ecological function and natural beauty of the channel and its banks’, while also attempting to provide protection from severe flooding which has blighted the city in recent decades.

MVVA are to work in collaboration with engineers and specialists to ensure the park and floodplain’s infrastructural soundness and adaptability in remaining accessibility even under extreme circumstances.

Following the major donation, moves are being made to name the park The Harold Simmons Park, subject to City Council approval.
