Dallas Midtown Park Foundation

 

The Dallas Midtown vision was initiated in 2010 by Dallas City Councilmember Linda Koop. Her vision has since been adopted by the current leadership of the City of Dallas and the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce. This public-private partnership encompasses 450 acres that includes the Valley View Center, Galleria Mall and its surrounding areas. Within the district vision is a bold statement to open space by creating the largest Dallas programmed park, the Dallas Midtown Park.

Today, Councilmember Koop’s vision of a vibrant city center that offers a place for people to live work and play is becoming a reality. In 2013, the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce received financial support from the City of Dallas to oversee the vision phase of the project. Architectural firm OMNIPLAN was selected to create the vision plan and utilize their expertise in urban planning to consider the possibilities of a redesigned and revitalized Midtown area.

Now spearheaded by Councilman Lee Kleinman, this revitalization is made possible through the collaborative efforts of public and private entities including business and property owners, community members, the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce and the City of Dallas. We encourage the community to speak up and get involved to help shape the future of this area into a popular urban destination, full of open green space.
