Lagoon natural asset for community

By Julian Bowman

Fair Park First, the nonprofit overseeing the management of Fair Park, will host Lagoon Days, a series of free programs on Fridays and Saturdays from June 10 until July 30 at Leonhardt Lagoon in Fair Park.

Lagoon Days will include kid’s crafts, art workshops for teens and adults, yoga, music and movement classes for toddlers, instrument building, drum circles, bird watching, puppet shows, lawn games, food trucks and more. All programming will be free and open to the public on Fridays from 9 a.m. until noon and Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. The Leonhardt Lagoon is Fair Park’s most park-like space, and these programs are part of a larger effort to improve the Lagoon. 

Throughout the next two months, Fair Park First will make upgrades to the Lagoon, including water quality improvements, lighting, movable furnishings and the introduction of more native plantings. These physical improvements will help magnify the Lagoon as a natural asset for community members to enjoy throughout the year. For more information, visit fairparkdallas.com/events.
