Woodall Rodgers Deck Park - Downtown Dallas

I'm excited about this park coming in 2012. Lord knows Dallas needs more green spaces.

Here are the facts:

What size is the park?

• 5.2 acres (located between Pearl and St. Paul Streets over the existing Woodall Rodgers Freeway)
• 1,045 feet long
• 210 feet wide
• 2,000 person capacity on main lawn

When will the contruction be fully completed?

• Construction on the deck plaza began in October 2009. The base park is expected to be complete in Spring of 2012 with amenities expected to be complete in Fall 2012

How much does the park cost?

• The deck plaza construction costs approximately $53 million. Approximately $77 million has been raised to date, funding deck plaza construction and some of the park amenities. The Woodall Rodgers Park Foundation is currently seeking to raise $30 million to complete The Park’s amenities and fund operations and programming.

Is the park LEED certified?

• The Park will incorporate many green and sustainable elements. The Foundation has placed emphasis on environmentally friendly design and construction from the project’s onset.  The Program Manager for the project is a LEED Accredited Professional and has multiple projects that have already achieved LEED certification. Although there was not a LEED category for a Park at the time of its design the Foundation and technical team incorporated a number of LEED principles.
