John C. Barnard Park

Last night, curiosity got the best of me, and even though it was dusk, I had to check out the progress at Dallas' newest city park, John C. Barnard Park. When we drove up to the park, even though the perimeter was still surrounded with orange netting, the small parking lot was open. We drove in and parked, and the workers, just finishing up for the day, said, "congratulations, you are the first to park in the new parking lot!" The park is very impressive, laid out with winding walkways which we tried our best to navigate in the approaching darkness. The photo shows the covered picnic area, which was just finished this week. This morning will be the official ribbon-cutting.
