A Message from the Mayor of the City of Dallas

During the pandemic’s darkest days, my family — like many of the people of this great city — relied on our parks system more than ever. Our city’s parks and trails provided us with communal outdoor gathering spaces. They helped us escape, helped us breathe and relax, and gave us a glimpse into the world around us when it felt like we were trapped and walled-in.

That is why I believe parks and trails are more than neighborhood perks or feel-good amenities. They are critical infrastructure in a modern city.

We are blessed today with a vibrant and growing park and recreation system. In recent years, we have added some amazing new parks, upgraded our recreation centers and aquatics facilities, and greatly expanded our trail system. Even more impressively, we have done much of this work by repurposing and redeveloping former illegal dumping grounds, ugly surface parking lots, and even highway overpasses.

Through the Dallas Park and Recreation Department, we have made our city more beautiful, more equitable, and more fun.

This is possible because of the Dallas Park and Recreation Board, the hardworking sta of the Dallas Park and Recreation Department, generous nonprofit partners, and the people of Dallas. Together, we are making connections and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

A Message from the President of the Dallas Park and Recreation Board

Dallas Park and Recreation Board is committed to o er diverse leisure and recreation options that entertain, nurture, and strengthen families, individuals and communities. Our vision is to create spaces that satisfy the leisure needs of families and visitors by addressing their ever-changing recreational and leisure needs.

These are exciting times for our city and Dallas Park and Recreation is a significant part of the growth. While our city is expanding in so many important ways and areas — population, business, construction, technology, finance, entertainment, arts, and culture — Dallas Park and Recreation remains an indispensable influence in creating and shaping the future of leisure and recreation in Dallas.

Emerging from the pandemic, the field of parks and recreation is experiencing change – change in the kinds of programs o ered, how programs are marketed and delivered to our patrons, how we design new parks and facilities, and how we use technology to connect with our communities. Yet, the department is creating its future with new parks, trails, green spaces and quality recreational choices that are vital to the continued well-being of our citizens.

A Message from the Director of Dallas Park and Recreation

Public parks and recreation programs and services are all about human connections - connections that change lives, change communities. I know how parks and recreation programs transform lives and communities for the better. Growing up, I found sound advice, invaluable vocational and educational guidance, mentors, friends, and leadership opportunities at my neighborhood recreation center.

As we navigate a new sense of normalcy in a post-pandemic world, all of us re-connected with family, friends and each other. As a department, we strengthened our connections with families and communities by introducing them to new programs and services to improve their health, social lives, environment, and well-being. We opened new parks, trails and playgrounds for everyone to re-energize their love of being outdoors. Our after-school programs let friends rediscover fun times. New facilities and improvements to existing ones provided all ages with safe places to learn, have fun and just relax.

Dallas’ award-winning park system is making sure parks and recreation programs are available and easy to access for residents, no matter who they are and where they are in Dallas. As you read Making Connections, you’ll see that bringing communities together is what we do every day as park and recreation professionals.

The City of Dallas welcomes the National Recreation and Park Association 2023 Annual Conference to the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center. An estimated 8,000 park and recreation professionals and citizen advocates from around the nation and abroad are expected at this premier professional development event. Dallas Park and Recreation Department is working with NRPA to prepare for the conference.

Dallas is 6th in the nation for having the happiest parks, according to the University of Vermont. Their national study measured the mood-boosting effects of parks in 25 U.S. cities including New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Austin and San Antonio. The results: large urban parks give parkgoers similar feelings of happiness they might experience at Christmas.

State Representative Yvonne Davis (District 111) announced Dallas will receive a $20 million grant from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to enhance parks and trails, health and wellness programs, workforce development and other citywide initiatives. Dallas Park and Recreation will utilize its portion of the funding to improve park facilities in the southern sector of the city within underserved neighborhoods, adding amenities such as loop trails, security lighting, playgrounds and restrooms, as applicable.

Oncor donated 110 acres to the City of Dallas for the development of a future park on Parkdale Lake. When completed, the new park will be one of the largest urban spaces in the nation. Adding Parkdale Lake to the city’s park system will be an undisturbed unique natural oasis for families to enjoy for years to come and will provide safe pedestrian connections to the city’s northern and southern neighborhoods. The Trinity Forest Spine Trail, which currently runs from the Great Trinity Forest to White Rock Lake, will run through the new park and link it to city trails and amenities including Samuell Grand Park in east Dallas and White Rock Lake.

with MAKINGConnections OUR ENVIRONMENT

Dallas Park and Recreation’s environmental conservation activities connect individuals, families and communities with yearlong learning options and special events to ensure Dallas’ parks, green spaces and ecosystems remain healthy.

Ocean Swim Nick & Nora

Bachman Indoor Pool hosted Ocean Swim to show summer campers how sea life is harmed by plastic bottles. The teens visited a recycling plant, teamed up to clean trash from an area lake, and learned about stormwater at Samuell Farm in Mesquite. As a service project, the teens removed the invasive privet species at Bachman Greenbelt.

EarthX Expo

Dallas Park and Recreation promoted its environmental initiatives at the annual EarthX Expo at Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center. The department’s horticulture staff created an outdoorsy atmosphere with stones, lush greenery and plants around the City of Dallas Pavilion stage.

It’s not every day bald eagles make their home at White Rock Lake! Affectionately named Nick and Nora by residents, the eagle couple settled and started a family. Park maintenance set up parameters to protect Nick and Nora from eagle-eyed parkgoers, asking everyone to stay a minimum of 300 feet away from them. The celebrity couple attracted the attention of ornithologists, birders, nature lovers of all ages and local media. A nearby high school even hosted a live webcam! After high winds toppled their nest, park, state and federal biologists located the mangled nest that contained a damaged egg and continued to monitor the whereabouts of the federally-protected eagles, spotting them in areas north and south of the lake.

with MAKINGConnections EQUITABLE OUTREACH

Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission awarded the City of Dallas a $1.5 million urban outdoor grant to create and enhance outdoor recreational opportunities. Dallas Park and Recreation will use the funding to transform Crawford Memorial Park into one of Dallas’ signature parks. Proposed developments for the southeast Dallas park include pedestrian trails with accessible bridges, accessible picnic sites with shade structures, exercise complex, restrooms, site furnishings and signage.

with MAKINGConnections EQUITABLE OUTREACH

For the fifth year, WellMed Charitable Foundation donated $150,000 to the City of Dallas to help make recreational, health, and wellness programs more accessible to residents 60 and older. Dallas Park and Recreation waived the required $10 annual and $5 monthly recreation center access fees at its 43 recreation centers for existing and new senior members, thus ensuring that much-needed programs and services are available - at no cost - to the city's most treasured residents – senior adults.

WelMed Charitable Foundation

Since WellMed’s initial donation in 2017, 29,492 seniors have benefited from innovative and diverse recreational and leisure activities held at recreation centers and at the WellMed Charitable Foundation Senior Activity Center, an ultramodern facility that caters to diverse social, physical and leisure needs of seniors.

WCF is the philanthropic partner of WellMed and USMD Health System that provides health care to almost 100,000 North Texas patients.

Dallas Park and Recreation wants everyone to have access to the benefits of Dallas’ parks and recreation programs. New trails and parks created exceptional opportunities for residents in historically underserved and overlooked neighborhoods.

Oak Cliff communities welcomed the new Honey SpringsCedar Crest Trail, a five-mile surfaced trail built inside an old inter-urban rail corridor that was once part of a railway line that went to Corsicana, Texas. It comprises three separate trails with one connecting to South Oak Cliff Renaissance Park. Adjacent to Cedar Crest Golf Course, Honey Springs Trail offers users scenic views of the downtown skyline.

with MAKINGConnections EQUITABLE OUTREACH

South Oak Cliff Renaissance Park

When Oak Cliff residents banded together to improve their neighborhood, the result was the transformation of an overgrown lot into South Oak Cliff Renaissance Park. The 1.8-acre park features all-weather exercise equipment, outdoor classroom, half-court basketball, and rock-climbing boulders designed by local students and funded with a grant from The North Face’s Walls Are Meant for Climbing program. Green amenities are solar-powered lighting and free public Wi-Fi funded through a grant from Green Mountain Energy Sun Club. Safety is enhanced with 15 off-grid lights that illuminate the park with 100 percent solar energy. The determination of South Oak Cliff High School students and staff, residents, and the City of Dallas’ partner organization Trust for Public Land created this unique outdoor opportunity for southern Dallas.

Charles R. Rose Community Park

For more than two years, Trust

When it opens in 2023, the park will serve almost 4,000 residents within a 10-minute walk to the park. It will be the latest outdoor space that is part of the Five Mile Creek Urban Greenbelt initiative led by the Trust for Public Land to develop a network of parks and trails along Five Mile Creek and its tributaries.

Highland Hills residents joined City of Dallas and Trust for Public Land to break ground for a new 40-acre park.

for Public Land worked with the Highland Hills communities to create their design vision for the Judge Charles R. Rose Community Park that will honor the life of a beloved Dallas judge.

with MAKINGConnections RECREATION

More than 300 athletes proved age doesn’t matter when it came to competing for top honors at the Dallas Golden Games. This Olympics-styled contest showcased adults 50 and older going for the gold in 11 sports including cycling, swimming, golf, bowling, basketball, tennis, track and the popular pickleball! The Games’ opening ceremony began with the enthusiastic parade of athletes - each marching behind banners representing their sport – and ended with an exhibition basketball game between the Red and Blue teams, coached by Dallas’ Mayor Pro Tem and Deputy Mayor Pro Tem.

with MAKINGConnections OPERATIONS

As Dallas’ recreational and leisure needs evolved, Dallas Park and Recreation adapted its operations by creating the Citywide Athletics, Reservations and Events (CARE) Division. This organizational restructuring consolidated golf, tennis, reservations, youth sports and aquatics programs and services.

For the first time since its 2005 opening, Bahama Beach Waterpark revenues topped $1.1 million with a record attendance of more than 72,000 visitors. As the City of Dallas’ only waterpark, Bahama Beach is a favorite daycation destination for families to get away without leaving town. The Dallas Morning News People’s Choice Award named Bahama Beach as the Best Waterpark and the Texas Public Pool Council selected it as Water Park of the Year.

with MAKINGConnections OPERATIONS

Marketing and Communications (MAC) found new ways to connect with residents. In-house production of 45 informational and promotional videos resulted in a 25 percent increase in audience views on digital and social media platforms. A new look for DallasParks.org featured interactive carousel banners and buttons and attracted 600,226 visitors. Ongoing social media improvements resulted in almost a 10 percent increase in followers on all social media platforms. MAC introduced Up & Coming at Dallas Park and Recreation as a monthly digital newsletter and as a video news show.

with MAKINGConnections PARKS & TRAILS

Carpenter Park

Dallas welcomed its largest downtown park – the six-acre Carpenter Park. Sprawled on downtown’s east side, the renovated park brings new amenities including downtown’s first public outdoor basketball court along with pooch play area, interactive fountain, kids zone, lush gardens, and walking paths. Dallas Park and Recreation’s longstanding partnership with Parks for Downtown Dallas has created Carpenter Park and three other green spaces that represent the largest investment in downtown parks in the nation.

With the expansion of Elmwood Parkway Trail, west Oak Cliff residents have a connection from the Tyler-Vernon DART station to Kiest Park via the multi-use trail that winds through the scenic tree-lined Elmwood residential area. Throughout Dallas, 177 miles of urban trails provide recreation and transportation options while connecting communities.

Providing maintenance for Dallas’ popular White Rock Lake Park is a community collaboration. With the community’s input, Dallas Park and Recreation Park Maintenance and Operations developed the White Rock Lake Park Operations and Maintenance Plan. The wide-ranging maintenance and operations guidelines ensures care and maintenance practices are consistent. It also allows residents and park users insight into how park maintenance is conducted. White Rock Lake Park features almost 10 miles of lake shoreline, important ecological resources, and beloved park and trail amenities. Dallas Park and Recreation will update the plan as best practices and community needs that impact the park evolve.

Pickleball

With pickleball among the fastest-growing sports, Dallas Park and Recreation created play spaces at 25 parks to keep up with community demand. The type of courts installed –shared converted tennis courts or dedicated pickleball courts –was based on input from the surround ing c ommunities . Dallas Park and Recreation worked with Pickleball USA to standardize the color scheme and design for Dallas’ courts.

with MAKINGConnections ART

Sankofa

More than 100 Dallas parks feature unique sculptures, murals, and other works of art, thanks to a collaboration with the City of Dallas Public Art Program, a division of the Office of Arts and Culture. Through the Public Art Program, OAC works with artists of diverse backgrounds to commission works for display in parks and along trails. Dallas Park and Recreation welcomed Sankofa: Anderson Bonner Memorial to Anderson Bonner Park as a timeless tribute to the former slave who amassed thousands of acres in north Dallas. Sankofa – meaning "go back and fetch it" in the Twi language of Ghana – is colorfully represented as a bright orange bird with its head turned backward and feet forward to reflect the importance of looking to the past to build a successful future.

We Are Music and Music Is Us

Kiest Park is home to We Are Music and Music Is Us, a 10-foot weathered steel sculpture that highlights the musical legacy of blues guitarists Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan. To discover public art locations, visit Office of Arts and Culture Public Art at https://dallasculture.org/publicart/.

with MAKINGConnections EMPLOYEES

The first-ever Dallas Park and Recreation Academy brought park employees together for two days of intensive professional development. Modeled after the National Recreation and Park Association annual conference, the Academy featured 80 presenters and keynote speakers who led dynamic educational sessions on topics relevant to the park and recreation industry. Topics appealing to employees on the frontline to the front desk included leadership, teambuilding, urban trail planning, equity and inclusion, self-care, and work-life balance. Six hundred professionals learned what it takes to succeed professionally and personally. Health and wellness vendors provided attendees with invaluable resources and giveaways.
