Dallas, let’s get serious about the Southern Gateway Park | Opinion
The children's garden and central plaza are shown in a rendering from a Conceptual Plan for the Southern Gateway Public Green, a deck park over I-35E from South Marsalis Avenue to South Ewing Avenue, adjacent to the Dallas Zoo.Dallas has always been the sort of city that can put its money where its mouth is.
