From decades to days

The Park at Forest-Audelia is a colorful and vibrant demonstration park located in North Dallas on a newly purchased piece of Dallas Parks property. Redesigned by the Better Block to improve safety and function, the pop-up park features sport courts, flex lawn space, shade, seating, a community garden, a play area for kids, and daily activities ranging from after-school programming to a weekend market featuring global cuisine and music. Pedestrian crosswalks stretch across the streets while planters and landscaping frame the space, making the plaza easily accessible and well-defined. Public seating can support over 150 guests and includes signature Better Block benches, outdoor bean bags, movable long tables, and café sets. A movable, flexible stage can support a full-sized band or a dance group. A series of string lights stretch across the plaza, creating a cozy and vibrant space to host your festivals, family events, outdoor celebrations, and concerts. The Park at Forest-Audelia was launched as a Project Safe Neighborhoods effort, employing concepts to promote safety and vibrancy. Alongside the Dallas Parks Department and a core team of dedicated community leaders, The Better Block Foundation designed the park to be a community oasis on the newly acquired piece of Parks property and aims to test concepts that can be brought forward into the long term vision for the space.
