They already started it

Central park is like 60 city blocks down and 4 across. So that would mean the Dallas park would be 660 blocks long

Seems possible Dallas has over 300 square miles of land

Manhattan has a tiny 22 square miles big.

Can you swim in the trinity river

Swimming in urban water ways is categorically a horrible idea

Jet skiing might be more fun.

It's on the outskirts of the city. Not comparable to Central Park.

Looks dope though. Real estate next to it will go up in value

That's the cool part is that they let it naturally flood. Below the water in that picture are the actual cement and dirt paths. The normal level is way lower than that.

Outskirts?? Nah. It's literally downtown Dallas. Well at least some of it goes past downtown. It probably stretches next to the river for several miles
