Interesting and unusual park. Some of the features were not on when we visited. Driving to it can be challenging due to a lot of construction (9/30/2024). Parking can be hard especially if the event center is active. But street parking spaces are cheap-$0.25 for 1 hour 20 minutes.

If you re in Ft Worth and you haven t seen this park, it s worth a visit, but I wouldn t make it a destination. One of the featured water displays had no water and it looked like it hadn t in a while. The main water feature is pretty cool, and the ability to walk down into the feature is unique got to believe there are frequent mishaps.

Ive been making my rounds to all dallas fountains this one is quite unique, a great place to visit and relax listen to the sound of rushing water, truly an amazing place, one thing I must add... Fort worth traffic and construction near this place is atrocious... I should knock off a star for that but it has nothing to do with the fountain itself.

The Fort Worth Water Gardens are a stunning urban oasis that captivates visitors with their striking beauty. This architectural marvel features a harmonious blend of cascading waterfalls, serene pools, and lush greenery, creating a tranquil escape from the citys hustle and bustle. The centerpiece, the Active Pool, is particularly impressive with its dramatic, multi-tiered design that allows water to flow down steep steps, producing a mesmerizing and soothing effect. The gardens offer a diverse landscape, including the serene Reflecting Pool and the peaceful Quiet Pool, each designed to evoke a sense of calm and reflection. The integration of modern design elements with natural water features provides a unique aesthetic experience, making the gardens a favorite spot for both relaxation and photography. Visiting the Fort Worth Water Gardens is like stepping into a meticulously crafted sanctuary where nature and architecture converge in perfect harmony. The combination of flowing water, intricate stonework, and well-maintained greenery creates a visually stunning and serene environment that leaves a lasting impression on all who visit.

I enjoy coming here and bringing my family to see how amazing it is. First off, I try to park in the meter parking on the street past the water garden. Not sure where else to park. I ve visited the water garden in all seasons and prefer going when it s cooler, since there s walking involved. It s always fun walking down the large steps to the waterfall. Sometimes not all the areas have water falling from it, so that s unfortunate, but when they all are flowing, it s beautiful!! Definitely a place to check out if you re visiting Fort Worth, are in the area or are leaving the Stockyards, since it s not far.

Nice and serene could use some cleaning but a really wonderful sight to see in person. Definitely give it try. The steps going down can be intimidating if youre not adventurous having no railing to hold on to, but take your time and ignore the noise in your head to enjoy a more immersive experience from the bottom. Oh, and please do not swim in this water or try to lay in the walls.

I found this place to be somewhat disappointing, granted it is August in Fort Worth and it was very hot. Some of the pools were green with algae and some empty altogether. I also found a number of homeless people there which was sad to see. I think this was likely a vibrant place but less so now. It is still a pretty place but I would not recommend a special trip unless you are nearby. I did find Fort Worth a great place to visit and the people were very genuine and kind. They give Texas a good name!

I visited Fort Worth Water Gardens on Tuesday, July 23. 2024. I had to park my SUV on paid-parking. So, first I downloaded the FP Parking app, I entered the location no which was given on the machine, my vehicle number and credit card number. I bought 2-hours parking for $4.45. It was almost quiet due to weekdays. So, it was not fully functional. I visited only two sites, the quiet water pond and the water fall. Ir was good experience. But, planning to visit Water Park in Houston.

It is a park where there are water fountains with different designs, I did not like that the water was dirty and people believe that they are swimming pools and they can take their children to bathe without any protection. There are spaces with tables where you can eat and have a good time but without damaging the infrastructure.
