🌟 NEW IN DALLAS: $300 Million Deck Park Built Over a Freeway in Oak Cliff: Halperin Park🌟

📍 626 S RL Thornton Fwy, Dallas, TX 75203

🎉 Grand opening weekend is happening NOW through Sunday, May 10 with family programming throughout the day!

Why we loved it:
❤️ Halperin Park is Dallas’s brand new deck park built right over I-35E in Oak Cliff! It’s 5 acres of green space, playgrounds, and water features in the middle of the city — and it’s completely free!
❤️ There are 3 water play areas for kids: a splash pad, a bubbly water feature near the bandshell, and a rain curtain inside the playground that trickles down in an S pattern from the ceiling. So cool!
❤️ The playground is designed to feel like you’re playing in the woods, complete with a treehouse and tons of nature-inspired play elements.
❤️ The rooftop terrace has sweeping views of Oak Cliff, the downtown skyline, and Fair Park. Definitely keep this spot in mind for 4th of July fireworks!
