Our Team & Mission

Overview

Trinity Park Conservancy is a nonprofit dedicated to the stewardship of Dallas’ largest public green space, the 10,000 acres of the Trinity River. Believing that the River is the natural gathering place for all Dallas residents, the Conservancy is committed to bringing people together to share their ideas, learn more about the possibilities and habitat of the area, and to assist in making it a more accessible space. In 2018, the Conservancy was selected to design, construct and maintain the future Harold Simmons Park in a private/public partnership with the City of Dallas and the Trinity River Corridor Local Government Corporation. Trinity Park Conservancy is dedicated to continuing conversations in the community throughout the Park development process.

Vision

Championing a Trinity River that forever deepens our connection to nature and each other.

Mission

The Trinity Park Conservancy champions the transformation of the Trinity River to become the heart of Dallas. With the community, we will design public spaces that unite us, enrich people’s lives through access to nature, create economic development opportunities, and inspire protection for the river ecosystems in this shared natural treasure.

Purpose

Fulfilling the promise of the Trinity River as the natural gathering place for Dallas.

Commitment to Community

The Dallas community is inextricably a part of our mission and necessary in making Harold Simmons Park successful — a Park that unites our city across the Trinity River, when the river has historically divided us. Our vision for the future is one in which the Park contributes to a more just and thriving Dallas.

Being a community means that all people — of all races, ethnicities, ages, genders, sexual orientations, religions, health and ability statuses, or any other considerations — have the right to access, dignity, and value; have the right to inclusively participate in all dimensions of civic and economic life; and can achieve their full potential.
