The Elaine D. and Charles A. Sammons Park will be a public park in the new AT&T Performing Arts Center, located in the Arts District of downtown Dallas, Texas (USA). At opening on October 12, 2009, the 10-acre (4.0 ha) urban park will unify the venues of the AT&T Performing Arts Center, weaving together the Margot and Bill Winspear Opera House, the Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre, Annette Strauss Artist Square and City Performance Hall. It will include canopies of mature trees, large expanses of grass and a series of gardens, reflecting pools, promenades and walkways. Designed by landscape architect Michel Desvigne of Paris in collaboration with JJR of Chicago, it is named for Sammons Enterprises, Inc., who donated $15 million to the Center.
