At 10:30 this morning it was maybe 93 degrees in Dallas, location of the soon-to-open Klyde Warren Park. So luckily an event staged by the Woodall Rodgers Park Foundation to tout the park’s “programming partners” was held indoors, in air conditioning, at the Dallas Museum of Art.
With city council members and arts and business luminaries in attendance, it was announced (as Tim noted) how the park will keep up a “constant stream” of free daily activities once it opens 12 weeks from today. Among them: yoga classes, shown in this photo by Jeanne Prejean.
Dan Biederman, a consultant who’s been working with the park, said that when it comes to such programming, Klyde Warren is “three to six years ahead” of where New York’s Bryant Park was when it was redesigned and reopened, back in the early ’90s. By the time this morning’s event was finished, the temperature outside had climbed to around 96.
