Fort Worth sits on a blend of timber and prairie land that
is transected by the Trinity River and its tributaries.
These physical attributes invited the creation of parks to
preserve scenic landscapes and to provide Fort Worth
residents with access to nature. Generous land donations as
well as the foresight of city leaders allowed for the
acquisition of park land, particularly after the formation
of the park department in 1909. Local architects and such
well-known names as George E. Kessler, Hare and Hare, Philip
Johnson, and Lawrence Halprin have left a rich legacy of
nationally recognized parks and recreational amenities.
These include the Fort Worth Zoo, Fort Worth Botanic Garden,
the Water Gardens, Heritage Plaza, Fort Worth Nature Center
and Refuge, and Fort Woof, the city’s first dog park.
