Dallas Approves Agreement for Wings Practice Facility in West Oak Cliff

Dallas Approves Agreement for Wings Practice Facility in West Oak Cliff

DALLAS — The Dallas City Council has approved an agreement to move forward with the construction of a new practice facility for the Dallas Wings at Joey Georgusis Park.

The council authorized the city to finalize an economic development grant agreement with Dallas Wings Development LLC for the project, which will be built on city-owned park property at 1200 North Cockrell Hill Road.

The item, which had been deferred from the February 25, 2026 council meeting, returned Wednesday following discussions between city officials and the Dallas Wings organization.

“Today’s action marks another step in strengthening the City’s long-term support for professional women’s sports and enhancing opportunities for community engagement in southern Dallas,” said Dallas City Manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert. “We appreciate the efforts of Wings CEO and Managing Partner Greg Bibb for collaborating with the city to move this important project forward.”

Under the agreement, the Wings organization will lead the design and construction of the practice and training complex.

“We strongly believe the practice facility will provide our world-class athletes with what they need and deserve to compete at the highest level while delivering real benefit to the citizens of Dallas, especially the residents of far west Oak Cliff,” said Greg Bibb, CEO and managing partner of the Dallas Wings. “The Wings remain committed to playing a key role in the revitalization of downtown Dallas when the renovation of Dallas Memorial Auditorium is completed in 2028.”

Preparation for construction is expected to begin immediately, according to city officials.
