“In western cities, and especially in Dallas, there are no parks.

We felt this would be significant to the city and that it would, hopefully, get people out of their cars and walking.” Two things about the park resonated particularly with Muse: It connects Uptown and downtown Dallas, and it creates a place for people to gather in front of the city’s growing Arts District.

John Muse doesn’t shy away from the word transformative when talking about what Klyde Warren Park means to the city of Dallas.

Muse, a member of the Woodall Rodgers Park Foundation board, says he believes the deck park across Woodall Rodgers Freeway will change the way the city is viewed by residents, visitors, and companies looking to relocate.

“We want it to be a great place to hang out, maybe grab a cup of coffee or a bite to eat.” The eating part is something that is currently on Muse’s radar screen.

Muse is so bullish, in fact, he’s opening a restaurant in the park.“I’m a lifelong Dallasite, and I’m passionate about the city,” Zogg says.“I was frustrated that other cities seemed to be passing us by.“But we still have work to do and there are more funds to raise.We won’t be done until everything about the park is hitting on all eight cylinders.” — Glenda Vosburgh The opportunity to lead an effort to build a deck park over Woodall Rodgers Freeway came at a difficult time for Linda Owen, then president of The Real Estate Council.
