New soccer plaza aims to create lasting community impact ahead of World Cup
With the World Cup about a month away, a new two‑acre soccer complex is taking shape in Oak Cliff. The Common Ground Soccer Plaza, built on DART‑leased land near Jefferson and I‑35, will feature five turf fields, a pavilion, a food‑truck plaza, and public art. Organizers say the goal goes far beyond the tournament — creating a long‑term safe space for kids and families in the surrounding community to play, gather, and stay active.
