Everyone deserves access to the benefits of nature and play Downtown. For decades, we have been on a mission to create and nurture public spaces where the community can reflect, connect and thrive.
Downtown Dallas Parks Conservancy (DDPC), formerly Parks for Downtown Dallas, started building parks in 1987 with Lubben Plaza. We completed Civic Garden in 2012, and more recently, Carpenter Park, Harwood Park, Pacific Plaza, and West End Square. Most of these sites were parking lots.
The city’s urban core is greener than any time in modern history. DDPC and the Dallas Park and Recreation Department have jointly built out a neighborhood park network in the urban core. Six signature parks have been added to the 1.5 square mile center city in less than 20 years: Main Street Garden (2009), Civic Garden (2012), Pacific Plaza (2019), West End Square (2021), Carpenter Park (2022), and Harwood Park (2023).
We need to continue the positive momentum so that Downtown has a greener and brighter future! Donations of all sizes support critical park needs and design-sensitive improvements that make Downtown greener and more sustainable for all. Together, we can elevate the Downtown park experience – For the Greener Good.
