Join AIA Fort Worth on a chartered tour of contemporary pavilions throughout parks in Dallas.
Willis Winters, FAIA is the director of the Park and Recreation Department, and started a program to replace old park pavilions with a new level of architectural excellence. The collection of new pavilions is extremely impressive. Designed by local and regional firms the pavilions have received National, State, and Local Design Awards. We have selected 5 that we can see in one evening.

Stating at 4:30, we will board a bus in the parking lot across from the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and head to Dallas to visit six parks featuring designs as part of their Park Pavilions program. We will return to Fort Worth by 8:30.
The cost is $30 for AIA members, $30 for one guest of an AIA member and $45 for non-members. Boxed meals will be available and can be added when you purchase your tickets online.
The parks we will visit are Westmoreland Park, College Park, St. Augustine Park, Umphress Park, Opportunity Park and Randall Park. The pavilions are designed by multiple architects from Texas, the US and across the globe.
