We are getting our first look at what the new Fair Park, "Community Park" will look like.
The concept would transform the largest parking lot on the campus into a 14-acre natural Blackland Prairie, with the goal of bringing a major upgrade to the home of the State Fair of Texas and revitalize south Dallas.
Some of the features planned are gardens, picnic areas, a community stage and pavilion, play areas, dog park, market grove, water elements and various outdoor spaces.

The project will include extensive street improvements along Pennsylvania Avenue, Exposition Avenue, Lagow Street, and Fitzhugh Avenue to ensure there is equitable access to all modes of transportation, like walking, biking and driving.
The park will be free of fencing and open to all. It's all an effort organizers say, to help heal the past and welcome the community back to the park.
