Harwood Park

✓ Last confirmed for the 2026 season

Opened in September 2023 as the last of downtown Dallas's four Priority Parks, this nearly 4-acre East Quarter green space turned old parking lots into a mammoth-themed playground with an interactive water feature. A sport court, two dog parks, and a rain-garden promenade round out the block.
