Recent Accomplishments
Trail construction began in 2009 with a trailhead at the end of Hi-Line Drive and followed with Turtle Creek Plaza, which was completed in May 2010 and celebrated with a dedication ceremony by former Mayor Leppert. The blue 14’ 7” I-beam at Turtle Creek Plaza represents the height of the Trinity River during the 1908 flood which prompted the re-directing of the Trinity River.
Engineering and construction plans are complete for Phase 1 which includes 2.2 miles of concrete trail along the old river channel from the intersection of Oak Lawn/Stemmons to Farrington Street.
Trinity Strand Trail is designated part of the Dallas County Veloweb Trail System and the master plan was adopted in July 2004 by the Dallas Park and Recreation Board and the Dallas City Council. In 2004, Trinity Strand Trail obtained city park designation from the Dallas City Council.
