It’s almost like a forest on a mountain side tucked into a city. There’s this awesome staggered wall you can climb, 3 water pools (one of which you can walk into), one has a wall waterfall that feeds a pool that you aren’t supposed to swim in (there’s steps going into it but signs saying no wading and no swimming), and another that has multiple spray fountains (you don’t really want to be in that pool for sure). They have steps that walk around gardens and lawn features. Just a really neat city park in downtown Ft. Worth.

I would say if you are in the Dallas or fort worth area you should visit this place. The place is very simple and it has just steps where water is flowing from all the way top to bottom. One of the amazing thing is if you will go down to all the way bottom then the sound of water is amazing and one should not miss that for sure. There are some free parking nearby but not sure if it's always free but I would suggest to be ready on weekends as there are limited spots near by but as it's Texas so you will get parking eventually may be little far.

Such a wonderful water gardens had so much fun spending some time there seeing the water flow and enjoying the view of silent pool and just felt close to nature. It’s constructed in 1974 still looks so good. We can see Omni Hotel that looks stunning from the gardens.

The Fort Worth Water Gardens is an excellent feat of engineering. It was a very entertaining and beautiful place. A pleasurable experience and everyone who visits loves the aerated pool and the steps that go down all the way. It’s an all season and any time of the day experience. Anyone visiting the Fort Worth area must check it out. I would Highly recommend it!

Lizbeth Hernandez | Feb 12, 2019
Matt Philpot | Feb 13, 2019

I guess the name "water gardens" is a little deceiving for those that don't know. No flowers, but it's beautiful none the less. As others have said, check out the botanical gardens for flowers. Their rose garden is especially beautiful!

Is the park handicap accessible

jacquelyne landry | Mar 18, 2020
gamer749 | Mar 19, 2020

The gardens, for the most part, requires a person to be fully mobile as a majority of the park is only accessible by stairways. The only area that could be assessed for those with limited mobility would be the central courtyard that overlooks the parks' architecture. One would be able to see the attractions, but not interact with them.
