Rosemont Park

Rosemont Park is a 30-acre public green space located in Fort Worth, Texas. Established in 1927, the park offers a variety of recreational opportunities for visitors. The park features nearly two miles of cement trails, providing ample space for walking, jogging, and cycling enthusiasts.

The park's history dates back to its acquisition by the City of Fort Worth from C. L. Mobley for $37,400. It is believed that the park was named in recognition of Rosa Steele, who had owned the land for 54 years prior to its sale. In 1962, the Rosemont Tennis Center was constructed within the park, later renamed the McLeland Tennis Center in honor of Don McLeland, a local tennis enthusiast and former city council member.

Rosemont Park is not only a recreational space but also an area of ecological interest. The park is situated within the Pawpaw, Weno Limestone, and Denton Clay geologic formations, offering a glimpse into the area's geological history. The soil in the park is classified as Sanger-Urban land complex, formed during the Cretaceous Period.

The park's flora includes remnant Fort Worth Prairie species that have adapted to frequent mowing, such as Drummond's skullcap, fineleaf four-nerve daisy, and buffalograss. Wildlife in the park consists of typical urban species, including birds like the tufted titmouse, red-bellied woodpecker, and Carolina chickadee.

In recent years, Rosemont Park has seen several improvements. In 2018, a new shelter was added, and in 2022, an interactive public art piece called "Concentric Harmony" was dedicated in the park. These additions, along with its long-standing amenities, continue to make Rosemont Park a valuable community resource for Fort Worth residents.
