Elaine D. and Charles A. Sammons Park, Public park in the Arts District of downtown Dallas, United States

Elaine D. and Charles A. Sammons Park is a public park that connects the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House, the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre, Annette Strauss Artist Square and City Performance Hall in the Arts District of downtown Dallas. Its layout includes canopies of mature trees, wide stretches of grass, gardens, reflecting pools, promenades and walkways that lead visitors between these buildings.

The park opened on October 12, 2009, as part of the new AT&T Performing Arts Center in downtown Dallas. It was designed by landscape architect Michel Desvigne of Paris with JJR of Chicago, and its name honors Sammons Enterprises, Inc., a local company that donated fifteen million dollars to the project.

The Donor Reflecting Pool in front of the Winspear Opera House is made of black granite and lists the names of people who gave a million dollars or more to the Center. On warm days, children often splash across its shallow surface, and families gather on the lawns for picnics or outdoor shows, making the park feel like a shared backyard for the district.

The park is fully outdoors, so a visit works best in mild or clear weather, and walkways connect the main performance venues on foot. Ramps near the reflecting pool make the area easier to navigate for people with limited mobility, and the surrounding Arts District offers places to sit and eat within a short walk.

The reflecting pool is not just for looking at; its surface is designed to be walked on, and children regularly use it as a paddling spot in summer. Because the park sits in the Arts District, a visit can turn into an impromptu concert or rehearsal sighting when performers from the neighboring theaters step outside.
