10-acre community park to open in Dallas's Fair Park in late 2026 "You hear a lot of stuff and you never see any action. Well, now that action is happening” ...

Dallas has terminated its deal with Fair Park First and OVG360 to pursue a new nonprofit management model with direct city oversight.

The nonprofit managing Fair Park says the operator it contracted with, Oak View Group, misallocated $5.7 million in donor funds to cover day-to-day expenses.

An 18-acre slab of pavement is about to become a vibrant park with the help of an $8.6 million grant. The Community Park will be free and open similar hours to Fair Park, daily and year-round.
