Dallas Architecture Forum Hosts Free Panel on The Evolution of Dallas Parks

Dallas has made amazing progress in the development of parks and trails over the last 25 years. During this time period, area residents and visitors have witnessed a substantial increase in the amount of Dallas parks space throughout the city.

This includes the opening of the transformative Klyde Warren Park, new parks in the urban core through Parks for Downtown Dallas, and the expansion of the trails system in the city. Though more progress in creating additional and accessible green space throughout the city is wanted, needed, and has been championed by many — including Mayor Johnson and City Hall leadership — much has been accomplished over the last 25 years.

This panel, moderated by Director Emeritus of the Dallas Park and Recreation Department Willis Winters, will examine these major developments in parks and trails in Dallas over the past quarter century.  

Join the Dallas Architecture Forum for an important panel discussion as respected thought leaders overview some of the hallmark achievements in providing more parks and trails in Dallas. Panelists include Amy Meadows, President of Parks for Downtown Dallas; Tara Green, Principal of OJB and former President of Klyde Warren Park; Bud Melton, regional champion for bicycle and walking trails; and Paul Dyer, who was the long-time Director of the Dallas Park and Recreation Department. 

The panel is free and open to the public, and no reservations are needed to attend this event hosted at Perkins&Will. Complimentary drinks will be served at 6:15 p.m. and the discussion will kick off at 6:30 p.m. at the Perkins&Will offices located inside the Old Dallas High School at 2218 Bryan St. No. 200.
