Community Gathering

DEEP ELLUM DALLAS SERVICE CENTER

Public Realm - Community Gathering

• Concerts • Movie Night • Festivals • Art Programs • Dog Parks • Monthly Events • Community Outreach • Health and Wellness • Fitness

Year round events, such as weekend festivals, and daily events, further the connections to the community at both a neighborhood and a regional level. These events, whether highly organized and scheduled, or more organic and spontaneous, breath life into the district and create an urban energy for a more healthy, entertaining, and vibrant experience.

TASTE OF ADDISON Larger public gatherings, such as concerts, would bring additional opportunities for the Deep Ellum public realm. Dedicated green space, designed for larger crowds, would bring an renewed sense of community and offer a dynamic range of activities that aren’t currently achievable within the existing exterior spaces of the surrounding neighborhood. Music, art, food, and culture could be celebrated in larger, more meaningful ways with dedicated, carefully managed, thoughtfully designed open space.

Central green space, access to fresh air, open space, and dedicated gardens and ornamental plantings offer a connection to the outdoors that is meaningful, both passively and recreationally. An emphasis on health and wellness, as well as intentional views of the natural environment, create a more sustainable and healthy long term development. These open spaces offer both physical and mental respite for the urban environment, and are highly desirable for residents and visitors who will be living and working daily in the district. And don’t forget dogs need places to play too.
