At Klyde Warren Park, visitors of all ages can use craft supplies and building techniques to imagine a feature that would make city life better. The free activity is come-and-go.
All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
A city-design idea can begin with a place people need: a park, a different kind of school or another feature of daily life. Build Your City! with ADEX invites participants to develop that idea through hands-on making.
The activity’s prompt is open-ended: participants choose a city feature to design, using craft supplies and building techniques to show their idea. A park and a new kind of school are examples, not limits; the invitation also leaves room for a different proposal.
That flexibility puts the question of use before any one prescribed design: what would help people live in a city, and what might that look like? The listing does not specify a single finished project, so participants can bring their own answer to the prompt.

Klyde Warren Park offers a local example of public space shaped by infrastructure. The 5.4-acre deck park spans Woodall Rodgers Freeway, which runs below it in a recessed eight-lane corridor, and connects Uptown with the Arts District and downtown.
That makes the venue relevant to a design exercise about city life: the park itself joins parts of Dallas across a major transportation route. The event is in the park’s Lecture Hall, at 2012 Woodall Rodgers Freeway.

AD EX presents Build Your City! as a K–12 education program and says it takes the activity to locations including Klyde Warren Park and Fair Park. For this Nov. 7 edition, the park listing describes the activity as open to all ages while specifically inviting students. The program’s K–12 framing is useful context, but the published age guidance for this session is all ages.

The published program lists a single city-design activity, not a sequence of separately timed sessions.
The activity is scheduled for 12:00–2:00 p.m. It is come-and-go, so visitors can drop in during those hours rather than attend a separately timed session.
There is no admission charge. The park listing welcomes all ages and calls out students in particular.
The listing says the activity uses craft supplies but does not specify whether materials are provided or whether advance registration is required. Check with the organizer if either detail affects your plans.

The event listing names the Lecture Hall at 2012 Woodall Rodgers Freeway, Dallas, TX 75201, and includes a map link. It does not identify a particular building entrance or give transit routes; use the map to calculate directions from your own starting point.
The park FAQ lists valet and self-parking options. It does not say which is closest to the Lecture Hall or give rates, so check the park’s current parking information before driving. Posted signs take precedence, and illegal parking may result in a ticket.
