Klyde Warren Park, Urban park and freeway lid in downtown Dallas, United States
Klyde Warren Park is a green space built over the Woodall Rodgers Freeway that connects two neighborhoods. The park includes lawns, walking paths, play areas, and a fountain with water features at its center.
The park opened in 2012 as a solution to reduce freeway noise while creating new community space. Building over the highway was an innovative approach that changed how people used this part of the city.
The park brings neighborhoods together as a shared meeting place. Daily concerts, fitness classes, and seasonal events here reflect how diverse the city's residents are.
You can reach the park on foot, by bike, or using public transportation, and it is open from early morning until late evening. Seating areas, drinking fountains, and shaded spots are spread throughout, so you can stay as long as you like.
The main fountain has over 100 water jets that light up in color and create different patterns throughout the day. Visitors often do not notice how the water displays constantly change and form new sequences.
