Fort Worth Water Gardens
Located across from The Sheraton Fort Worth and
adjacent to the Fort Worth Convention Center, The Fort Worth Water Gardens
provide over 4 acres of refreshing pools, fountains walkways and grassy knolls. Designed by noted New York
architects Philip Johnson and John Burgee and dedicated to the City of Fort
Worth by the Amon G. Carter Foundation, the park has provided Fort Worth
residents with a "cooling oasis in the concrete jungle" since 1974.
The park centers around three pools of water and a
terraced knoll, and is populated with over 500 species of plants and trees. The
active pool, the largest of all the water pools, cascades down 38 feet, making its
way across steps and terraces into a small pool below. The aerating pool offers
multiple spray fountains and the mediation pool is a quiet escape that cascades
almost 90 degrees down into a sunken walkway.
The Fort Worth Water Gardens made it's Hollywood
debut when a scene in the film ‘Logan's Run' was shot in the active pool in
July 1975. Additionally, the pool was featured at the end of the TV adaptation
of ‘The Lathe of Heaven' in 1979.
The Fort Worth Water Gardens are located at 1502
Commerce St. Fort Worth, Texas and are open for enjoyed year round.
