When the Trinity Park Conservancy announced last month that it had hired a new CEO, I didn’t exactly tweet warm wishes to the guy.
The Conservancy, which is working to build the 200-acre Harold Simmons Park in the Trinity River floodway, had been led for four years by Brent Brown, an architect, city planner, and urban designer. The new guy, Tony Moore, has an undergraduate business degree and operated a park called A Gathering Place, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for four years. Before that, he was chief operations officer of a zoo in Tampa for two years. And from 2000 to 2016, he worked at SeaWorld, starting as an executive assistant and rising to director of culinary revenue.
Tony Moore, new CEO and president of Trinity Park Conservancy, begins work April 5.

Moore comes to Dallas with experience working with Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, the landscape architecture firm tasked with designing Harold Simmons Park. The firm also designed Tulsa’s riverfront park, Gathering Place.
Brent Brown stepped down as CEO of the conservancy in March 2020.
Harold Simmons Park will include more than 200 acres of land in the Trinity River Floodway between the Margaret McDermott Bridge to the south and the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge and Ron Kirk Pedestrian Bridge to the north, as well as two overlooks on the east and west sides of the river above and outside of the levees.
