Harold Simmons Park

Trinity Park Conservancy works on promises made to West Dallas neighbors as construction on the new park begins.

West Dallas residents and leaders want the Trinity Park Conservancy to take action to ensure the park will benefit neighbors.

A neighborhood-led plan "will be used to shape the future of West Dallas for the next 10 to 20 years,” and act to "slow down the fast-paced gentrification that is running a risk of literally changing the thread of our community and wiping away the history," says James Armstrong III.

Trinity Park Conservancy leaders say they want to make the park a welcoming place for West Dallas and other communities along the riverbanks.
