The Dallas Architecture Forum, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing public education about architecture, design, and the urban environment, completes its Spring 2024 Panel Discussion Series by presenting Trinity Park Update on Thursday, May 30, 2024. This Panel Discussion will be held at the Trinity Park Conservancy office (1444 Oak Lawn Avenue, Suite 200; Dallas, TX 75207) at 6:30 pm. This event is FREE to the Public, but SEATING IS LIMITED. A complimentary drinks reception will FOLLOW the program.

The Trinity Park Conservancy, formerly called the Trinity Park Trust, is spearheading plans to bring a long-desired vision for activating the Trinity River between the Margaret McDermott and Margaret Hunt Hill bridges to become a place for the public to engage with the Trinity River. Guided by the Balanced Vision Plan, a coordinated plan created for the Trinity River Corridor, the Conservancy is bringing this portion of the river “to life” as it works hand-in-hand with citizens and communities. As one of the first major projects in the area, the Conservancy, in conjunction with Michael Van Valkenberg Landscape Architects and Lake | Flato Architects, is implementing the design for major portions of the Harold Simmons Park between the two bridges. The Park will connect neighborhoods through a series of elevated overlooks and gateways to the river and its natural habitats for plants and wildlife. In addition, it will provide new access via additional trails and river crossings to unite the two sides of the river.

Join The Dallas Architecture Forum for this special evening at the Trinity Park Conservancy offices to hear from Tony Moore, its President and CEO, as he educates us on the plans that have been developed and now are beginning to be implemented. The evening will include the overview by Mr. Moore and the opportunity to see the large-scale models for the various areas of the park. Learn how the Conservancy, building on the landmark projects in the areas, including the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, the Margaret McDermott Bridge, and the Ronald Kirk Pedestrian Bridge, is working with citizens of Dallas to re-imagine our Trinity River as a great natural environment and place to visit.

Sponsors for this Panel Discussion are Panel Season Sponsors Purdy-McGuire, Turner Construction and Walter P Moore.
