Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Park Building
The initial focus of the Conservancy is to design and build the first park in the Trinity Parks Sequence, Harold Simmons Park. The Conservancy projects that the Trinity Parks Sequence will be comprised of multiple public spaces at varying scales with internal and external linkages connecting to a re-naturalized river.
Community Engagement
The Conservancy’s programs go hand in hand with the vision of the Trinity RIver as Dallas’ great connector and gathering place. As we work with communities and partner organizations along the corridor the Trinity Parks Building program will be the primary focus of our efforts. Coinciding with park building will be complementary and contributing programs that may include, but not be limited to, the following: Trinity River Conservation Corps, community events and activities, pilots and pop-ups, and River Stewards.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
By engaging the community in the process, we create an inclusive vision of spaces along the river that benefit the surrounding neighborhoods while protecting the environment and providing a welcoming gathering space for all Dallas citizens.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Guided by the Balanced Vision Plan, a coordinated plan created for the Trinity River Corridor, the Conservancy will take an active role in bringing the vision of the Trinity River to life, as we work hand-in-hand with citizens and communities. As one of the first major projects in the area, we will guide the process to bring the Harold Simmons Park to life. The Park will connect neighborhoods through a series of elevated overlooks and gateways to the river and its natural habitats for plants and wildlife. In addition, it will provide new access via additional trails and river crossings to unite the two sides of the river.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Building on our history with projects like the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, the Margaret McDermott Bridge, and the Ronald Kirk Pedestrian Bridge, the Conservancy looks forward to working with citizens of Dallas to re-imagine our Trinity River as a great natural environment and place to visit.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Among Trinity Park Conservancy's past accomplishments are the design and construction of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, the Margaret McDermott Bridge, and the Ronald Kirk Pedestrian Bridge. Harold Simmons Park can unite these signature features of the Dallas landscape while laying a foundation for future public spaces along the river.
