The original Billy Earl Dade Elementary School, a historic Black Dallas Independent School District property in South Dallas, is being considered as the site for a proposed $50 million career institute, according to DISD Trustee Ed Turner.

Construction on Harold Simmons Park officially begins on Tuesday on the West Overlook, located on West Dallas’ side of the Trinity River, off Commerce Street. This area will eventually be a hub for community activities, featuring amenities like a dog park, skate park, and venues for movie nights and concerts.
