Imagine a place where Dallas comes together—a 250-acre urban park along the Trinity River that transforms what was once overlooked into the city's vibrant heart. Harold Simmons Park will be more than just green space; it will serve as a gathering ground for every neighborhood, culture, and generation. Featuring trails, play areas, performance spaces, and spots to simply relax, this park will belong to everyone, connecting the north, south, east, and west. It will connect people with nature and with one another. This is our opportunity to make the river the heart of Dallas.
Just as Central Park is to New York City, Harold Simmons Park will be to Dallas. However, this project is not just about building a park—it's about fostering belonging, creating opportunities, and establishing a legacy for future generations.

The Harold Simmons Park project is the first step in the transformation of the Trinity River to become the heart of Dallas. With the community, we will design public spaces that unite us, enrich people’s lives through access to nature, create economic development opportunities, and inspire protection for the river ecosystems in this shared natural treasure.
Harold Simmons Park is more than a park—it’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape Dallas. Along 250 acres of the Trinity River, we are creating an iconic landmark that will connect our city, provide world-class recreation and cultural experiences, and uplift the communities around it. This project will stand as a legacy of vision and generosity—proof that Dallas can build not just buildings, but belonging. Your support will help create a destination that rivals the great urban parks of the world, a gift that will endure for generations and put Dallas on the global stage.
But we can’t do it alone. With your support, we can create a space that inspires pride, strengthens our neighborhoods, and brings Dallas together for generations to come. Join us in building Harold Simmons Park — a park for all of Dallas.
Community is at the heart of our mission and essential to the success of Harold Simmons Park—a place designed to bring people together in a city where the river has long represented division. Our vision is for Harold Simmons Park to be a space where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
We believe that every person—regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, health, ability, or background—deserves respect, inclusion, and the chance to fully participate in all aspects of civic and economic life. Harold Simmons Park is a place where everyone should feel welcome, valued, and empowered to reach their fullest potential.
