DALLAS -- Staff at Kylde Warren Park are calling it a good problem to have -- the grass has been "loved to death."

Constant use of the grass combined with drought conditions are causing crews to tear out the lawn and replace it with fresh sod.

The west side of the park will be closed for a few weeks.

The park has survived and thrived through it's inaugural year in Dallas. The grass hasn't.

The lawn at Kylde Warren isn't alone. Residents across Dallas have watched their lawns turn from green to brown, and despite the warmer weather, they're staying brown.

"There are a lot of factors caused by this cold that have set our lawns back," said Bryan Hutson of Calloway's Nursery.
