Summerhill Wish List: Build a Park over I-20

As part of the Park Pride Visioning Process, the Organized Neighbors of Summerhill present ideas for the future.

The residents in the Summerhill neighborhood prepared a Vision Plan for their parks with assistance from Park Pride.

One idea that may be in the category of “not likely affordable but wouldn’t this be cool” - Build a Park over I-20.

A more visionary recommendation, this park would be constructed on concrete and steel supports, much like a large roadway over the interstate. Connally and Kelly Streets would also cross the interstate, reconnecting the grid while providing alternative routes. Trees, lawn,
signage and landscaping would accompany seating, unstructured play areas, and viewing areas.

Estimated cost of $150,000,000.
