Here's the update as posted on Dallas Observer's website:

On the construction side, the crew is in the midst of waterproofing the deck structure. The waterproofing process basically involves adding a membrane that will protect the foundation once the high density fill and the subsequent earth backfill is added. We now have about 60% of the crossbeams in place and the two defunct utility bridges have been demolished. In late summer/early fall, you should start seeing construction on the actual park to begin -- the first step here will be building the sidewalks and walkways.

Which reminded me: Over the weekend I noticed that on Thursday the Park Board will take up the deck park as well, adding two amenities not presently on McCarthy Building Companies' to-do list: a "children's garden" and "water features." Both will run $2.5 million total, and both are being paid for out of the Woodall Rodgers Deck Park Foundation's fund.

The water feature (this one at the Harwood entrance to the park) and the 15,000-square foot Children's Garden have always been included in the site plan. Sour says both are being added now that the foundation has the dough necessary to fund 'em. As fund-raising continues, he says, "you'll see items added to the McCarthy contract. They're called 'change orders,' but they do nothing to the price of the park. This is all part of the plan."

Looking good guys! Keep up the good work. I know all of us that live and work in Uptown are looking forward to this new park! The new condos and apartments along this stretch will be some of the hottest digs in town. Let me show you how you can be one of the lucky ones to live near this great urban attraction. At Clay Stapp + Co we specialize in upscale urban homes, condos and leases. Give me a call today to learn more.
