Bonnie Brae Park

Bonnie Brae Park is a public recreational area located in Fort Worth, Texas. The park was established in 1957 alongside the opening of the former Bonnie Brae Elementary School, which is now known as the Riverside Applied Learning Center. This park is part of a larger parcel that includes the school grounds, exemplifying the post-World War II trend of situating parks adjacent to educational institutions.

Spanning 2.5 acres, Bonnie Brae Park offers a variety of outdoor amenities for community use. The park serves as a local gathering spot for residents, providing space for recreational activities and relaxation. Its location within a residential area on Wesley Street makes it easily accessible to nearby neighborhoods.

The park is maintained by the City of Fort Worth Park & Recreation Department, which oversees its upkeep and improvements. In recent years, there have been plans for park enhancements, including the replacement of a shade structure, indicating ongoing efforts to keep the park facilities up-to-date and functional for community use.

Bonnie Brae Park also participates in environmental education initiatives. The park is registered with iNaturalist, a platform that allows visitors to record and share observations of local plant and animal species, contributing to citizen science efforts and promoting awareness of local biodiversity.
