Your guide to the art along the Green Line Use this guide to plan your tour of Fair Park Station. Fair Park Station - Keeping With Tradition Built for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition, the grand exhibit halls and esplanade of Fair Park constitute the only intact and unaltered pre-1950s world fair site in the United States. Until 1956, trolleys served the fairgrounds with a stop at the main entrance on Parry Avenue. The Green Line's Fair Park Station is situated right where that original trolley stop was, more than a half-century ago. Art deco touches at Fair Park Station "It was important that the design of the station be extremely sensitive to the historic context, the functional requirements of Fair Park, and the context of the surrounding neighborhood," says Brad Goldberg, who was the station artist along with his wife Diana. In view of the unique requirements the site presented, the Goldbergs departed from DART's tradition of barrel-vault or gull-wing canopies. The resulting horizontal canopies sport a crisp, clean lookthat's original but very much in keeping with the art deco aesthetic. Other elements contribute to the seamless effect: fluted limestone columns resonate with the nearby Hall of State, while curvilinear seating echoes the rounded shapes evident throughout Fair Park. At night, artistic lighting elements will reflect the historic use of dramatic lighting at Fair Park, and enhance not only the station but the entrance as a whole.
