UPDATE: Although the Heritage Park Plaza remains closed, the Heritage Park Steering Committee has been busily working on a plan to reopen the landmark. Recently they invited landscape architect Laurie Olin to lead a workshop for local design professionals, the goal of which was to assess the Plaza and develop recommendations to reopen it, which in turn would hopefully raise awareness as well as funds for restoration.
The Steering Committee was pleased with the recommendations presented by the team and voted to move forward. As a result, the Amon G. Carter Foundation has agreed to fund the initial step, a "full structural
assessment including a geotechnical investigation and tree assessment/survey."
