Success Stories

Klyde Warren Park

Klyde Warren Park is the town square of Dallas, welcoming 1.3 million visitors and offering more than 1,300 free programs every year.

Thanks to a partnership with the Hersh Foundation, this privately funded, public venue hosted 40+ free activities for Dallas-area residents and visitors during Spring Break 2024. Everything from Avant Chamber Ballet and Dallas Symphony Orchestra performances to Creative Arts Center and Perot Museum of Nature and Science projects to movie screenings, petting zoos and dance/fitness classes were enjoyed by the thousands of guests who came to the Park that week from every neighborhood in the city.
