A National Historic Landmark

Fair Park offers the world’s largest collection of 1930s Art Deco exposition buildings.

In 1986, due to its century-long association with the State Fair of Texas – and as the site of the innovative 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition – Fair Park was designated a United States National Historic Landmark.

While the location of Fair Park dates back to the City of Dallas' original 1886 fairgrounds, many of the existing buildings and public spaces were constructed for the Exposition.  Over the past 30 years, this treasure trove of architecture, murals and sculpture has experienced a groundswell of support and restoration projects.

Today, Fair Park is a 277-acre venue that contains one of the largest complexes of cultural, entertainment, exhibit and sports facilities in the southwestern United States.

Operated by the City of Dallas Park and Recreation Department's Fair Park Administration office, Fair Park is also supported in part by a member-supported advocacy group, the Friends of Fair Park.

This Web site, fairpark.org, has been made possible by the Friends of Fair Park and one of Fair Park's biggest fans, The Meadows Foundation. fairpark.org was developed and is maintained by Elettore.
