Providing an urban oasis
Park Lane Station is located at one of Dallas' busier intersections and is one of DART's busiest stations in terms of ridership. Station art and design provide a moment's calm in the chaotic setting of a major city intersection.
The station's blue columns to the aerial platform simulate falling water, descending 24 feet to the ground level. Wave-shaped flowerbeds add to the illusion.
Artist John Christensen created a site-specific sculpture, titled Suit, which serves a dual purpose. Its concrete pedestal near the bus waiting area provides comfortable seating and supports a weathered bronze sculpture representing a human form relaxing.
Design Artist: Vicki Meek
