A Greener Fair Park
Fair Park First is making a “green-vestment” by creating a state-of-the-art community park with interconnected parklets and trails across the campus.
Phase 1 will feature the creation of an 11-acre Community Park, designed by Studio-MLA in conjunction with surrounding neighborhoods, and will also include developing a 1.3-acre MLK Gateway Park.

“I think the park is a good start to giving back to the community. It will create some beautification, provide uplift, and give residents somewhere nice to go in their own backyard.”
