## About

Constructed over the recessed Woodall Rodgers Freeway to unite downtown and uptown Dallas, Klyde Warren Park is a vibrant 5.2-acre urban green space that serves as Dallas's collective front lawn. Throughout the winter months, mild North Texas afternoons draw families to the sweeping lawn for complimentary outdoor recreation, from table tennis, foosball, and cornhole to giant Jenga and Connect Four.

The park comes alive for the holidays with the lighting of the 50-foot Dallas Mayor's Christmas Tree adorned with tens of thousands of twinkling LED lights. Kids can play on modern climbing structures in the Sheila and Jody Grant Children's Park, watch the interactive Nancy Best Fountain choreographed evening water and light performances, and choose from over a dozen gourmet food trucks serving artisan tacos, Texas barbecue, and warm donuts along Continental Avenue.
