Trinity River Recreation District
To create a seamless entertainment district between the activities of the West End / American Airlines
Center complex, the Trinity River experience (including the new Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge) and West Dallas,
the Area 7: the West Dallas Team recommends the creation of the Trinity River Recreational District
located along Hampton Road from Singleton at the south end to the Trinity River to the north.
There are several projects in the proposed District that
are either in the early phase of development or in the
planning stage. To ensure the success of the District,
the Team would like to focus on the successful completion
of the following projects:
- Mercy Street Field of Dreams (site secured, construction
underway for first field, additional resource development
underway)
- Dallas Water Sports Park at Fishtrap Lake (proposed development)
- Battan Ballpark at the West Dallas Community Center (proposed development)
The following projects are located in the proposed District and are either underway or completed:
- Nash Davis Community Center Renovation (underway)
- Texas Rangers Little League Field (completed 2006)
- Pedestrian and bicycle connector routes to downtown and other trails (to be completed 2011)
The goal of the project is to unify the sports and athletic projects in West Dallas into one comprehensive
project that has significant economic and social impact on the area. Additional benefits include
employment for local teens, attracting visitors (and their discretionary spending) to West Dallas, providing
the people of West Dallas with excellent recreational activities, instilling a sense of community pride
and attracting private sector investment into West Dallas.
Status - In Progress
The multiple components of the proposed district continue to progress. The Office of Economic Development, the Dallas Housing Authority, and the West Dallas Chamber of Commerce continue to work towards obtaining the necessary approvals for the construction of the Dallas Water Sports Park. Local community groups continue to work on completing other attractions in the proposed district area.
