Sammons Park Designer Talks About Why No One Goes There (Yet)

If you spend anytime downtown, do yourself a favor and read Peter Simek’s Q&A with Deb Mitchell, one of the principal designers of the park that sits between the Wyly and the Winspear. David Dillon, in the Dallas Morning News, has said the elevation difference between to the two buildings and the stairs it necessitates is a real problem with the park. Mitchell’s response to that? “We found the Wyly was high, but the Winspear was low. We discovered that in 2005, so it’s not like we never saw it, like we’re too dumb and we didn’t see it.”
