Judge Charles R. Rose Community Park
Judge Charles R. Rose Community Park is a new 40.4-acre park coming to Highland Hills and Oak Cliff. Located near the intersection of Bonnie View and Simpson Stuart Rd, this new park will feature playgrounds, sports fields, walking trails, and space for the community to come together. The Trust for Public Land is leading the design and development of the park, in partnership with the Dallas Park and Recreation Department. The park is currently in design phase, and is expected to open in 2022.
We need input from and with nearby residents, students, youth, and education institutions. Your feedback and comments will ensure the new park meets the recreational, leisure, and educational needs of the community, while conserving the natural beauty of this unique regional landscape.
This page is your central hub for project information, upcoming events, and activities to give feedback about the design of YOUR park!

We can't do this alone, so we've built a team that is looking forward to partnering with the community and bringing this park to life. The Trust for Public Land is collaborating with landscape architecture firms TBG Partners and DesignJones to lead a collaborative design process and to hear what you want in the park.
Judge Charles R. Rose Park is an official park of the City of Dallas and will be owned, operated, and stewarded by the Dallas Park and Recreation Department.
Judge Charles R. Rose
1946-2019
The park is named in honor of the late Judge Charles R. Rose, an admired civic leader who served the Highland Hills neighborhood for decades. Committed to improving the lives of others, Judge Rose was a trusted voice in the community who served in numerous political and volunteer roles, including four terms as Justice of the Peace, a Trustee with the Wilmer-Hutchins Independent School District, and an adjunct professor at Paul Quinn College. Deeply devoted to his family and his community, Charles Rose made a meaningful difference in the lives of his loved ones and fellow citizens alike, and and it is our privilege to honor Judge Rose’s life and legacy at this park.
