Friends of Willis Winters Park are currently working on finalizing the first phase of adding ADA compliant multi-generational fitness facilities and distance markers throughout the park. We are working with Juliet Fowler Communities on ensuring the ADA compliant stations meet the needs of our seniors. This initial phase will include two separate fitness locations in the park. Location
one will be on the back side of the park along the fence with Juliet Fowler and will include ADAcompliant equipment that is more low intensity and wheelchair accessible. Location two will bein area alongside the Santa Fe Trail. This location will include higher intensity workoutequipment.We are excited about this project and hope to have it completed in the Spring of 2025.
About FOWWP
Willis Winters Park is a historic community park established in 1922 and is the heart of our community. Friends of Willis Winters Park was formed in 2020 and have been working to improve our beloved park in ways that are beneficial to all while bringing the surrounding communities together. In 2023, we officially became a 501c3 which enables us to do more for our wonderful park and community. We are home to one of the oldest pavilions in Dallas Parks Department, built in 1924. In 2023, we served as a liaison to Dallas Parks Department to restore the historic pavilion utilizing the original blueprints.
We were very excited and honored this year to be selected for the Historic Park or
Landscape Restoration award from Preservation Dallas for our pavilion restoration!
Our Accomplishments
We have made positive strides in four years on improvements: adding first pollinator garden in District 14, planted three trees, pickle ball courts, wind screens added to tennis/pickle ball courts, water fountain, safety lighting on walkways, BBQ grill, pet waste stations, ADA compliant picnic tables and benches. We are currently working on finalizing the first phase of adding ADA compliant multi-generational fitness facilities and distance markers throughout the park. We are working with Juliet Fowler Communities on ensuring the ADA compliant stations meet the needs of our seniors. Your donation would ensure that we are able to design a comprehensive design that will benefit all ages of our community. Willis Winters Park is also on the 2026 Bond schedule to
receive a new children's' playground. We believe stronger parks build stronger communities.
Friends of Willis Winters Park is proud to announce the winning of The 2024 Preservation Achievement Award for Historic Park or Landscape Restoration Projects for the Restoration of our Historic Pavilion c 1922.
We are grateful for the wonderful work of the Phoenix 1 Team and the City of Dallas Team as we utilized the original blueprints to bring the pavilion back to its historic beauty.
