ABOUT THE ARMSTRONG PARK CULTURAL DISTRICT

Since the land for Armstrong Park in Duncanville, Texas, was first acquired back in 1971, the site of the former Air Force Station has been the epicenter for connection and celebration for our entire community for over fifty years.

Generations have gathered in Armstrong Park to enjoy festivals, parades, concerts, live theater, art exhibitions, outdoor films, markets, literary events, community gardens, and wide green spaces.

This scenic, rolling 21-acre park and cultural district was once home to the nation’s largest all-volunteer-built wooden playground and features meandering pedestrian paths that connect visitors to nearby landmarks, civic buildings, historic sites, public art, pop-up galleries, family recreation, and arts-forward spaces. Just outside the boundaries of Armstrong Park, new connections are linking visitors to surrounding areas in imaginative ways through cultural corridors to nearby neighborhoods, schools, businesses, restaurants, community theater, and the Downtown Duncanville District.

Armstrong Park is an authentic place as a cultural district where our community’s creative and cultural spirit is celebrated and reimagined through shared spaces and arts-rich experiences. In February 2025, the Duncanville City Council, at the recommendation of the Arts Commission, officially recognized Armstrong Park as a cultural district.
