The late Harold Simmons was a philanthropist who loved Dallas and the outdoors. It is with this in mind that his widow, Annette Simmons, made a $50M donation to create the Harold Simmons Park along the Trinity River.
The 155-acre park will extend from the Margaret McDermott Bridge to the Ronald Kirk Bridge.
According to the POA, the initial $10M will be expended by the (Trinity) Trust “for the purposes of planning, designing, promoting and construction the Park.” If all things go as planned, the remaining $40M will be used for governance, management and operations of the park.
The Trinity Trust says
This is an exciting day for Dallas and the Trinity!
