Harwood Park brings play to the East Quarter, featuring one of the city’s most family-focused park experiences just steps from the Dallas Farmers Market.
Harwood Park is the final of the four Priority Parks that Downtown Dallas Parks Conservancy built in partnership with the Dallas Park & Recreation Department. Construction began in 2021, and opened to the public on September 23, 2023.
The park site was a collection of surface parking lots and vacant buildings in a historic district. Today, it is nearly 4-acres packed with park features including a mammoth playground, interactive water feature, a sport court for pickleball and basketball, two dog parks, and a striking gold ring pavilion at the Harwood and Jackson Street entrance.
A former block of roadway was converted into a pedestrian promenade and rain garden that runs through the center of the park.
