克拉德沃伦公园是一个高度规划的5.2英亩的城市公园，建在达拉斯主动的八通道Woodall Rogers高速公路上，这个公园催生了前所未有的经济发展，成为达拉斯最受欢迎的公共开放空间。一群随后将成为Woodall Rogers Park基金会（WRPF）的公民领袖认识到通过将达拉斯的上城区，市中心和艺术区与一个独特的绿色空间相连，改变高速公路的身体和心理障碍的重要机会。在征求公众对园区项目的意见后，詹姆斯·伯内办公室开发了一个简单，优雅的计划，足够灵活，适应各种社区，艺术和文化活动。
砾石中的红橡树线条纹将公园中心与繁忙的临街道隔开，而一条绿树成荫的长廊则穿过该地，连接了公园的众多花园房间。在公园的心脏地带有一个6000平方英尺餐厅，500平方英尺咖啡馆和相邻的公共厕所。一个标志性的带外壳俯瞰向西的30,000平方英尺事件草坪和穆迪广场的东部的互动水景。

Constructed over the active, eight-lane Woodall Rogers Freeway in Dallas, Klyde Warren Park is a highly programmed, 5.2 acre urban park that has catalyzed unprecedented economic development and become central Dallas’ most popular public open space. A group of civic leaders who would later become the Woodall Rogers Park Foundation (WRPF) recognized an important opportunity to transform the physical and psychological barrier of the freeway by linking Dallas’ Uptown, Downtown and Arts Districts with a signature green space. After soliciting public input on the park’s program, the Office of James Burnett developed a simple, elegant plan flexible enough to accommodate a wide variety of community, arts and cultural events.
A linear grove of red oak trees in gravel insulates the center of the park from the busy frontage road while a tree-lined promenade sweeps through the site, connecting the park’s many garden rooms. At the heart of the park lies a 6000 SF restaurant with a 500 SF café kiosk and public restrooms adjacent. An iconic band shell overlooks the 30,000 SF event lawn to the west and Moody Plaza’s interactive water feature to the east.
From early morning to late evening, the children’s garden, dog park, reading room and game terraces attract a vibrant, diverse crowd from across the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area. The WRPF’s event programming staff keeps the park’s calendar full of offerings including Dallas Opera simulcasts, free concerts, regular fitness classes and a rotating menu of the city’s most popular food trucks. Since its opening in 2012, the park has welcomed more than a million visitors annually and received numerous awards, including the Urban Land Institute’s 2014 Urban Open Space Award.
