About Watts Park in Fort Worth
Watts Park is a small neighborhood park located in Fort Worth, Texas. The park was established in 2011 when the Fort Worth Mayor and City Council unanimously voted to accept the donation of parkland and facility improvements from Fort Worth South Inc.
The park is named in honor of Dr. James M. Watts, who had a vision to improve the neighborhood through increased community amenities and green space. Dr. Watts helped raise money, along with community partners, to develop the strategic plan to revitalize the area.
Watts Park features a short ADA-compliant cement walking trail, providing accessibility for all visitors. The park's geology consists of Pawpaw, Weno Limestone, and Denton Clay formations. The soil is primarily Bolar, which is shallow, well-drained, and moderately permeable, formed in interbedded limestones and marls from the Cretaceous Period.
The park offers shade trees that provide comfort for visitors and serve as perches for local birds. While small in size, Watts Park packs in several amenities to serve the surrounding community, making it a valuable green space in the urban landscape of Fort Worth.
