For us? You shouldn’t have. We think living in Dallas is the greatest gift of all, but it’s actually been on the receiving end of quite a few delightful donations. From sculptures to parks and hospitals, check out these four gifts given to the city.

Halperin Park | Formerly known as Southern Gateway Green, Dallas’ upcoming deck park over I-35 received a $23 million donation and a new name this fall. With an estimated opening in 2026, the park will reunite two halves of the Oak Cliff neighborhood separated by the freeway with a pavilion, playground, lawn, and other features.

Adelfa Callejo statue | The Callejo-Botello Foundation donated the statue and $10,000 for its maintenance + conservation to the City of Dallas Public Art Collection. Believed to be Dallas’ first practicing Latina lawyer, Callejo (also known as La Madrina, or “the godmother”) is memorialized by German Michel’s 10-ft bronze statue for her decades of activism and work in the Dallas community.

The Wrap

Jessalin Heins-Nagamoto wrap - BLUE
One more fun football fact before you go — the Cowboys were supposed to be called the Steers, and then the Rangers — but a local minor league baseball team went by the same name, so the team changed yet again, this time to the iconic name we use today.
