Friends of Willis Winters Park Inc

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! 

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 has maintained a monthly volunteer day since 2020 which is on the last Sunday of every month at 9am until 12pm. In 2023, we became a Master Naturalist Project and also started working with National Charity League Inc. creating opportunities for mothers and their daughters, grades 7-12 that make a lifetime impact on our community.
