Klyde Warren Park Expansion: Dallas's Future Unveiled! #shorts

追加: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]were about to if the bids come back successfully and kind of within our budget on June 2nd, which is just a couple of weeks away, you're about to see an expansion of Klyde Warren Park, which really was part of the plan all along. Um it's just that it was it was such an effort to get the park built and understood that um they just thought let's stop at the current site and then we'll add the rest later. So, there's potentially going to be two more decks added to the west of Klyde Warren Park doing after and so it will have an artificial turf field which will um have uh like anchor points for tents to be set up. We could have a beer garden. We can have an ice skating rink during the wintertime. Um but honestly to have had to have 2 million people a year figure out where to park around there or I mean cuz Uber wasn't invented, you know, when the park was built, but to figure out where to park, how to get there, to enjoy it. Um it was possible, but it took a lot of training people in Dallas what a programmed park was going to look like.

[00:01:08]You know, we when we grew up, you park we there parks are plenty in Dallas, but they didn't have free yoga classes and they didn't have free concerts and they didn't have restaurants associated with them and things. I mean some parks obviously had rec centers, but they really didn't have anything for the entire community. And so um I think with a lot of vision and a lot of work, >> [snorts] >> um it has exceeded everyone's expectations. The incremental revenue that has been created for the city of Dallas through the increased property taxes is staggering. And now we're looking I mean you just read the news this this past week that the Texas Stock Exchange is potentially signing a lease to go in the brand new Bank of America building directly across the street from Klyde Warren Park. So, for that area to turn into almost a new central business district for the for the city of Dallas between the Federal Reserve on one end and where that new Goldman Sachs campus is going to go in next to Perot Museum on the other side. I mean, that really has become Y'all Street and I don't think any of that was anticipated.
