Five Mile Creek Greenway Master Plan

In partnership with the Trust for Public Land, TBG worked with south Dallas community members to improve access and connectivity to Five Mile Creek, a 17-mile-long watershed through south Dallas fed by numerous tributaries and home to some of Dallas’ best-known parks. Shaped by community and stakeholder input, the vision calls for an interconnected series of trails, parks and green spaces along Five Mile Creek, providing new recreational opportunities and access to the distinctive hills and valleys of south Dallas. In-depth analysis has been informed by GIS applications, multiple community engagement efforts, and meetings with city and county personnel and area stakeholders. The City of Dallas Parks & Recreation Board unanimously approved the Master Plan in 2019 with one of the first projects of the plan, Judge Charles R. Rose Community Park, kicking off in 2020 and now nearing completion. So far, the effort has been awarded two grants: a 2023 USDOT Raise Grant as well as a 2023 TxDOT Transportation Set Aside Grant, totaling about $13.3 million in grant funding.
