Should have created some permanent chess tables, so people will have an outdoor location to play the game in Dallas......

Think Dupont Circle in DC or Washington Square in NY............I don't believe there is a place like that in the South or Texas for that matter.....

Beyond that......grandiose and exciting looking park....lots of unique aspects to this I haven't seen before...

I was there on the opening weekend, beautiful park. It feels so unnatural to think that the highway is just 20 feet below you.

Wow, kudos to Dallas. For the pics with lounge chairs I was wondering what the material of the cushions were made of? If it rains do they leave it out?

Those may have been put out there just for the occasion. But resorts in Vegas use durable but stylish outdoor furnishings like that which are fairly water-resistant.
