Staying true to Judge Rose’s goals of unifying the community, the park programing and design was heavily influenced by community engagement to ensure it met their needs. During the height of COVID-19, TBG held a series of virtual meetings to establish the priorities to help inform the park’s design direction. Based on the feedback, the family plaza includes a signature pavilion, play area, picnic garden, flexible multi-scale seating and gathering spaces, community developed art and sculptures. Along with the family plaza, the park includes a flex lawn to host larger community events, nature trails, a loop trail surrounding the park, an overlook to the downtown Dallas skyline and preservation of the pocket prairie on site.
