The Loop Plaza

Now Open!

The Loop Plaza is a vibrant public space that connects the Hi Line Connector to the Katy Trail, opening a gateway to Victory Park, the Design District, West Dallas and the Trinity Strand Trail. Designed by TBG Partners, the Plaza transforms a former dead end and retaining wall at Victory Avenue and Houston Street into an active gathering place, retrofitting an overlooked piece of urban infrastructure to bring people together. The project demonstrates how thoughtful design can turn underused urban space into a civic asset, reimagining mobility and connection for Dallas.

The new “front porch” of The Loop Dallas’ 50-mile trail system, The Loop Plaza marks a major milestone in the vision for a more connected city. This first-of-its-kind development along the Katy Trail creates a seamless transition between two elevations, offering a welcoming destination for walking, biking and gathering in one of Dallas’ most dynamic areas.

The Plaza provides a direct connection to the Hi Line Connector, an innovative trail connection beneath I-35 that allows pedestrians and cyclists to travel between surrounding neighborhoods with ease. More than a trail connection, the Plaza creates a new destination for residents and visitors to enjoy public space while accessing nearby restaurants, shops, businesses and residences.

Made possible through a partnership between The Loop Dallas, the City of Dallas and generous private donors, The Loop Plaza demonstrates the power of public-private collaboration to deliver transformative infrastructure and public spaces.

With approximately four million annual visits to the Katy Trail, The Loop Plaza introduces an exciting new destination for trail users, Victory Park residents and visitors alike. The multi-use space enhances the trail experience while creating new opportunities for recreation, community gathering and exploration.

The Loop Plaza is also a key piece in the ongoing revitalization of North Victory Avenue and the broader improvements surrounding the American Airlines Center and South Victory. As the first major project to extend these improvements into North Victory Avenue, the Plaza opens a new route beneath I-35 and the DART bridges toward the Design District, contributing to Dallas’ growing network of connected trails and public spaces.
