The Moss Glen Park Project is a four-and-a-half-acre green space located at Moss Brook Trail and Bentwood Trail, just south of the George W. Bush Turnpike. The plan features a loop trail and eight to 12 fitness stations. The park will cost between $500,000 and $750,000 according to the Dallas Park and Recreation Department. The city has offered $30,000 in seed money for the project and will maintain the park after it’s built. Technically the site is not park land. The city’s storm-water management division controls the lot and granted permission to turn the space into a park. The plan does not interfere with drainage for the area. The lack of green space in Far North Dallas goes back to the area’s development in the 1970’s and 80’s, when shopping centers were the priority, not public parks.
