Fair Park is a neighborhood defined by its proximity to the 277-acre Fair Park complex, home to the annual State Fair of Texas, the Cotton Bowl stadium, and a collection of Art Deco exhibition buildings that form a National Historic Landmark. The park itself contains several museums, including the Perot Museum of Nature and Science satellite exhibits, the African American Museum, and the Hall of State.

The DART Green Line serves the neighborhood with the Fair Park station providing rail access to Downtown and Deep Ellum. While the neighborhood continues to evolve, the State Fair season brings millions of visitors annually, and year-round access to the park's trails, museums, and event spaces provides unique recreational amenities for residents.
