Friends Of The Katy Trail Inc

Friends of the katy trail continues to enhance the trail with amenities for all users. 2024 brought the installation of several new benches, a major plantings restoration project, the opening of the staubach pass plaza at the harvard crossing, and the beginning of the 2024 city bond projects campaign to bring two important improvements to the trail. The bond projects are (1) a new trail entrance from fairmount street and (2) landscape restoration and safety measures on the trail's north end from knox street to harvard avenue.

Katy trail art partners with dallas area museums, art collectors, and the community at large to expand the role of contemporary art in public spaces in dallas. The initiative borrows, commissions, and produces world-class art projects on and around the katy trail to inspire creativity, spark conversation, encourage self-reflection, challenge assumptions, foster community building and promote civic ownership of the katy trail. Katy trail art installed two sculpture series in 2024 from artists ivan argote and eddie martinez.
