Roadside help at Fair Park
Fair Park, just east of downtown Dallas, is home to the State Fair of Texas, the Cotton Bowl and a long row of Art Deco exhibit halls. Most days it's quiet, but during the fair and big games the streets around it fill with cars coming off I-30 and I-45.

Parking
Inside the grounds are large surface lots entered through numbered gates, such as Gate 2 near Parry and Haskell avenues and Gate 6 on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, and private lots line the nearby streets. On a regular day an inside lot is easy to reach, but on fair days gate staff run the traffic, so the gate number and lot are what a technician needs.
So the technician finds you
- Remember the gate you drove in through and the lot or row where you parked.
- On fair days, if gate staff won't admit a service vehicle, plan to meet the technician at that gate.
- In a private lot outside the fence, give dispatch the street address or the nearest corner.
- Spending the whole day at the fair? Make sure the headlights and interior lights are off before you walk away.
Questions
01Can a technician drive into Fair Park during the State Fair?
That depends on the gate staff and that day's traffic plan. Tell us the gate and lot; if a service vehicle can't come in, the technician may walk in with portable equipment or meet you at the gate to sort out the next step.
02I parked on a street near Fair Park and my car won't start. What should I tell you?
The street and nearest cross street, which side of the street you're on, and whether you're closest to Gate 2, Gate 6 or another entrance.
