Chase Promenade

Chase Promenade is the primary pedestrian spine that connects all areas of the park. The 15-foot wide path is planted with Pond Cypress trees, providing a continuous tree canopy that offers park users shelter from the Texas sun. The path itself is paved in concrete pavers and the majority of the trees are protected by stainless steel tree grates. At night, lights set into the tree grates transform the trees into a dramatic sculptural composition that carves its way through the park. Weatherproof electrical outlets provide flexibility for special events or holiday lighting.

The Botanical Garden

Along the western edge of the park, a 6,000 square foot botanical garden offers an ever-changing sensory experience for garden lovers. The garden is accessible from several points along the Promenade and offers a variety of native and exotic plant material in exciting compositions of form, color and texture. The path features over 400 feet of decomposed granite pathways and concrete curbs that provide an attractive and durable edge. Botanical signage discusses the merits of specific plants and a series of path lights allow the garden to be enjoyed day and night.

Children's Garden

Located north of the Promenade between the Botanical Garden and the Reading & Games Rooms, the Children’s Garden is 15,000 square feet of play areas and imaginative features. The children’s garden is 220 feet long by 100 feet at its widest point. Features within the park are designed to provide a series of experiences that allow for multiple groups and individuals to enjoy the garden simultaneously. To ensure the safety of all parties, adult guardians will be required to supervise the children in the garden.

The entry to the children’s garden is marked by a playful entry portal adorned with a skin of translucent colored acrylic panels. A winding path of brightly-colored rubberized safety surfacing winds through the garden, providing attractive flooring that also provides a safe, soft surface that prevents injury. An area for strollers and other accessories is right around the corner from the main entry, offering a convenient space for parents to stow the equipment associated with a children’s day in the park.

Visitors entering the park are immediately attracted to the activity of the central fountain plaza. At the center of the plaza, a shallow pool bubbles mysteriously and is the source of a series of arching water jets. Representing the abstracted body of an undulating caterpillar, a dynamic array of the jets extends around the corner and intermittently releases jets of mist. At the terminus of the fountain, a small medallion plaza offers an exciting and rare treat. Periodically the arching jets lower and still, revealing two water fans arranged to mimic the unfurling of a butterfly’s new wings.

The fountain plaza is surrounded by child-scale amphitheater seating and rolling berms throughout the garden create a sense of mystery and wonder around every corner. Travelling west of the main entry children will discover a special play structure, the Storytelling Deck. Floating off the ground, this wood deck is built around a large specimen Oak. The oak is wrapped in a spiral staircase that leads up to the crow’s nest, an elevated platform that invites daydreaming and imagination. The deck is large enough to accommodate large groups of children and is surrounded by a continuous wooden bench. To accommodate special events like puppet shows or plays, the berm adjacent to the storytelling deck can double as a miniature event lawn.

Beyond the storytelling deck, a large abstract play structure invites children to climb and have fun. Designed for children aged 5 to 12, the structure offers a variety of opportunities for motor skill development. Following the loop path, an elliptical sand play area offers small children an opportunity to be involved in the action of the children’s garden. Flush with the paving on the south, the raised wall on the north of the sand area offers parents and older children a seat while little ones play in the sand. A fanciful structure with an upswept “butterfly” canopy anchors the east side of the garden. Designed to accommodate birthday parties and similar events, the building contains a family-size restroom and storage space for park equipment. Plazas under each “wing” feature movable furniture, a water fountain, an outdoor sink and counter space to accommodate group functions. Immediately beyond the structure, a variety of play equipment and a second sand play area create a safe place for toddlers to play away from the older children.

Comfortable benches are located throughout the space for parents and children alike. Movable furniture also allows additional flexibility for events held in the garden. An abundance of shade trees provide respite from the sun and night lighting allows play to extend into dusk. A single point of entry and a perimeter fence ensure that parents need not worry that their children might escape their watchful eyes. Along the north side of the garden, an 8 foot tall screen wall planted with vines softens the space and buffers sound from the adjacent freeway ramp.

Reading & Games Rooms

The Games and Reading Room is a 2,600 square foot garden courtyard located along the Promenade between the Children’s Garden and the Uptown Plaza. Inspired by similar facilities at Bryant Park, the Games and Reading Room anticipates a mutually beneficial relationship with the Dallas Public Library or an entity with a similar mission to promote education in Dallas communities.

The space is approximately 100 feet long by 25 feet wide. A grove of Chinese Pistache trees define the space and the paving unifies the Games and Reading Rooms with the adjacent Donor Recognition Courtyard and Harwood Plaza. A variety of movable chairs will provide users with flexible seating that can accommodate changing patterns of use throughout the day.

Harwood & Arts Plazas

A pair of pedestrian plazas mark the former path of North Harwood Street through the park. To the south, the 3,800 square foot Arts Terrace is a comfortable public plaza near the adjacent Dallas Museum of Art and the Nasher Sculpture Center. To the north, the 2,900 square foot Harwood Plaza offers public space accessible from the homes and shops of Uptown and serves as an overflow for festivities occurring in the nearby restaurant.

Fountain features are the focals of both plazas. Centered in the twin fountains, each measuring 10 feet wide and 25 feet long, is a flush rectangular pool finished in black granite cobbles. Each pool features 10 pairs of slender water arches arranged in a linear array, glistening in the dappled sunlight and creating the steady sound of spraying water. The arches are illuminated at night from recessed uplights that are integrated into the cobble paving. On special occasions, the pools can be drained to accommodate vehicular traffic.

A number of architectural concrete benches in the Arts Plaza offer a place to rest under the canopies of Lacebark Elm trees. A generous pedestrian path of granite cobbles connects the two plazas. During special events, bollards at either end of the Harwood path can be removed, allowing light vehicular traffic to drive across the park. Informational signage is provided to direct visitors to the various amenities found throughout the park.

Donor Plaza

A small courtyard east of the Reading & Games Rooms contains a monument commemorating the donors whose generosity enabled the construction of Woodall Rodgers Park. Immediately accessible from the Promenade and the Harwood Plaza, the donor recognition courtyard offers an intimate space to view the monument or enjoy the day. Central to the courtyard is a glass and steel monument that identifies the individuals and organizations that contributed to the Woodall Rodgers Park Foundation. Dramatic internal night lighting projects the names on the monument into the surrounding garden space. A solitary bench along the north edge provides seating for visitors. Chinese Pistache trees surrounding the monument extend the canopy of the Reading & Games Rooms to the west. The concrete pavers that extend through the space from the Reading & Games Rooms and into the Harwood Plaza to the east further reinforce the space. Simple, durable plantings ensure privacy and offer seasonal interest.

Restaurant

The restaurant designed by Thomas Phifer and Partners is envisioned as a simple, open garden pavilion that physically and visually connects visitors to the surrounding park landscape. The restaurant is designed to allow the glass façade to fold back and open to a covered surrounding dining veranda and onto the park's Promenade in the temperate months of the year. The glass walls are designed to be as light and visually open as possible to allow for an uninterrupted view from within the pavilion to the park. A system of skylights and ceiling coffers will allow natural daylight to infuse the space from above, further enhancing the visitors’ connection to their environment.

For energy efficiency, daylight will reduce the power required for lighting and natural ventilation will limit the mechanical cooling load when appropriate. A green, planted roof will manage storm water flow, limit heat reflectance into the surrounding environment from the roof, and insulate the pavilion from the hot summer sun and cool winter temperatures. Possible geothermal heating will harness the thermal mass of the earth to maximize efficiency of the heating and cooling systems.

Muse Family Performance Pavilion & Great Lawn

Sharing the same architectural design features as the restaurant, the performance pavilion and stage will provide a unique venue for a wide variety of performance groups and entertainment. When no performances are scheduled, the pavilion will provide a shaded picnic pavilion for the park visitors and provide a commanding view to the Event Lawn.

The pavilion was made possible by the Muse family's generous gift.

East Lawn

Located on the section of the park between Olive Street and Pearl Street, this 7,800 square foot lawn provides a secondary location for park events and activities. The east lawn is conveniently accessed from Olive Plaza to the west, the Promenade to the north and a secondary pedestrian path to the south. It features strong adjacencies to the dog park, botanical courts and the iconic water feature.

The Groves

Oak groves along the perimeter of the park provide an architectural rhythm along the streetscape and insulate the remainder of the park from the activity of the street. The groves span the length of the park’s south side and third of the east side. The groves are 25 feet wide and are separated from the street by a pedestrian walk and a generous planting bed. The groves are defined by the repetition of architectural elements. A canopy of specimen Red Oak trees defines the length of the groves. The groves are furnished with a series of pendant light fixtures and wood benches that reinforce the architectural nature of the space. Regular connections to the adjacent pedestrian sidewalk are provided at regular intervals along the length of the groves.

Icon Fountain

Conceived as a signature feature of the park, the Icon Fountain is prominently located near Pearl Street and creates a striking image of the park as motorists drive west along the Woodall Rodgers Freeway. Inspired by the sculptural form of a calla lily, the fountain is a tall structure of stacked glass and features three separate water events – a reflecting pool, a “rain” event and an interior cascade.

The fountain is surrounded by a shallow “membrane” pool that encourages children and adults to stomp and splash around. Set over dark stone paving, the pool reflects the sky and the icon fountain, creating an ever-changing and complex composition of light, shadow and reflection. Cascading from the top of the fountain, a fine curtain of rain splashes onto the basin below and drifts onto the surrounding plaza as the wind changes. Controlled by a computer linked to an anemometer, the rain cycles on and off intermittently and offers a wide variety of experiences throughout the day.

Openings on the sides of the fountains allow visitors to experience the interior, where water cascades down the interior face of the fountain, creating a delightful white noise and a cooling mist. Night-time lighting amplifies the ambient mist and washes the feature in an ever-changing display of light. The fountain has been designed with state-of-the-art filtration and mechanical systems to ensure the safety of the public and the long life of the feature.

The fountain is set in a 2.000 square foot elliptical plaza ringed that features granite paving and a continuous perimeter of bench seating. Ornamental plantings anchor the space in the surrounding garden space of the park.

Olive Street Plaza

Protected from Olive Street by a series of ornamental planting beds, this 3,200 square foot pedestrian plaza features an interactive fountain and provides a safe, comfortable space in the heart of the park for people of all ages to enjoy. The plaza is accessible from all sides and seamlessly connects to the performance pavilion to the west, the restaurant to the north and the oak groves to the south. Rectangular in shape, the plaza is approximately 80 feet long and 40 feet wide and can accommodate a wide variety of programmed and non-programmed activities.

The focal of the plaza is the 60 foot long and 20 foot wide “membrane” pool, a quarter-inch skin of water over a plane of stone paving. The thin layer of water provides enough depth for children to splash and play without creating any safety risks. The simple composition of the pool is punctuated by vertical jets of water arranged in an asymmetrical composition. The jets are choreographed to rise and fall throughout the day, creating a dynamic kinetic installation that provides a different experience every time one visits the park. The fountain may also be completely turned off to create additional plaza space for special events.

Ample seating is provided by a series of benches along the east and a continuous seat wall along the north edge of the park. Gentle sloped walks connect pedestrians to the Promenade, Olive Street and the groves to the south. Stairs also connect the plaza to the performance pavilion to the west and the restaurant terrace to the north. All areas are paved in attractive concrete pavers and site furnishings made of architectural concrete provide comfortable, durable and beautiful architectural accents. A combination of interactive fountain lighting, architectural uplights and in-grade LED tiles create ambient light that make visitors feel safe and secure throughout the night.

The Boone Family Foundation Dog Park

Extending north across Olive Street, the Promenade leads to a very special area within Woodall Rodgers Park. At 4,000 square feet, The Boone Family Foundation Dog Park provides a comfortable, safe environment for dogs to socialize and play off of their leashes. To ensure safety, dogs must be people-friendly and at least 4-months-old to play in the park. The dog park has a single entry to the west that features an enclosed staging area where owners can leash or unleash their dogs.

Triangular in shape, the dog park’s maximum dimensions are approximately 115 feet long and 40 feet wide. This provides enough room for an enthusiastic game of catch for a number of dogs and their owners. At the center of the park, an interactive fountain creates water arches that play leapfrog between a series of small basins. After working up a thirst chasing the salmon-like streams of water, dogs can enjoy a drink at the large self-cleaning drinking bowl.

The fountain is surrounded by three rolling berms for dogs to play on. The berms are covered in a durable synthetic turf that is treated with an antimicrobial agent that fights odors and allows liquid waste to percolate through. The remainder of the park features a smooth textured concrete paver that is easy on paws and makes clean-up a snap! Two pet stations are conveniently located in the park and a litter receptacle is also available for owners to deposit their trash in.

Several comfortable benches are distributed throughout the dog park for the comfort of pet owners. The park is surrounded by shade trees and large oaks planted in the berms ensure that all areas of the park are comfortable, cool and welcoming throughout the day.

Like the rest of Woodall Rodgers Park, the dog park will feature a number of programmed events for pets and their owners. Potential activities for the dog park include canine social behavior workshops, seminars on holistic canine health, dog club activities, pet adoption events, pet services fairs and events that highlight the contribution that service animals make in their communities. Whether dogs are big or small, The Boone Family Foundation Dog Park is sure to keep their tails wagging!
