The Trinity River Project is a public works project undertaken in the 2000s in the city of Dallas, Texas, USA. Its goal is to redevelop the Trinity River. The project aims to turn the river's path into a collection of sports fields, trails, nature centers, and recreational opportunities. At 10,000 acres (including the Great Trinity Forest, which at 6,000 acres (24 km2) is the largest urban bottomland forest in the world), it has been billed as the largest urban park in the United States.
