As daylight wanes, our excitement for outdoor exploration hasn’t faded – the leaves have turned and are falling to the ground along the Trinity Forest Spine Trail and new Creekside Park. This is a great time of year to enjoy our parks and trails so we hope you have had a chance to see it for yourself!
Safety Through Trail Design
As you walk or ride through this our city’s newest green space, the meticulous trail design and partnership with the Dallas Park and Recreation Department and DORBAcontinue to be proof of concept for the future of safe public spaces. Dallas Morning News columnist Sharon Grigsby wrote about safety and the trail design earlier this year and the impact is on full display now.
Walking and riding along the new trail, the underbrush and invasive species have been cleared from the nearby mature trees creating clear lines of sight. Sitting on a gentle berm, the trail returned to service almost immediately after the recent severe storms that flooded many areas in Dallas. And the new Creekside Park sees continuous use from new and experienced mountain bikers looking to ride natural surface trails just a mile and half south of White Rock Lake.
These features and programming have dramatically changed the feel and use of this public space. The intentional design and partnerships are a template for our next projects and other green spaces across Dallas, minimizing risk factors – and increasing safety – through design.
We invite you to actively contribute to our ongoing efforts by following The Loop Dallason social media, staying connected, and participating in community initiatives. Together, we’re creating safer parks and trails for everyone!
