National nonprofit The Trust for Public Land has launched the Greener Dallas Greater Dallas Campaign, a $100 million public-private campaign to expand parks citywide that will serve more than 250,000 people, including over 70,000 children.
TPL, which works to connect everyone to the benefits and enjoyment of the outdoors, announced the campaign Saturday at the grand opening of Judge Charles R. Rose Community Park, a 40-acre green space in southern Dallas designed in partnership with the Highland Hills community.
“Greener Dallas Greater Dallas is a promise to every Dallas resident that no matter your ZIP code, you will have safe, welcoming green spaces and parks to gather, play, heal, and thrive,” Molly Morgan, Texas State director for Trust for Public Land, said at the Saturday event. “Launching this bold campaign at the opening of Judge Charles R. Rose Community Park—a space designed hand-in-hand with the Highland Hills community—reminds us that green spaces aren’t a luxury, they’re a lifeline.”
“This park inspired us to dream bigger for Dallas,” Morgan added, “because this effort doesn’t just build parks; it builds equity, resilience, and a more connected city for generations to come. I’m grateful to stand with so many who believe in this vision and are working to bring it to life.”…
