Ronald Kirk Bridge-Felix H. Lozada, Sr. Gateway

For decades, the Continental Avenue Bridge (now known as the Ronald Kirk Bridge and the Felix H. Lozada, Sr. Gateway) served as a viaduct for vehicles between downtown and West Dallas. These days, the bridge is a pedestrian-only linear oasis spanning 1.2 miles over the Trinity River. It's filled with gardens, water features, playgrounds, a bocce court and even human-sized chess boards. And not only does the park boast sweeping views of downtown Dallas and the Santiago Calatrava-designed Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge, but it also offers a host of free activities, ranging from fitness classes and children's programs to movie screenings and special events. If you're looking for an ideal skyline photo for your Instagram feed, this is the place.
