About Harrold Park in Fort Worth
Harrold Park is a pocket park located in Fort Worth, Texas. The park was dedicated in 1950 after being gifted to the city in 1947 by Mrs. M. M. Barnes as a memorial to her father, E. B. Harrold, an early Fort Worth banker and businessman.
The park's site was originally the location of Mrs. Barnes' childhood home, built in the early 1880s by George B. Loving. Before becoming a public park, the property was known for its lovely gardens, lily pond, small greenhouse, and statuary.
In 1993, Harrold Park became the site of Fort Worth's first Living Legacy Forest. As part of this initiative, offspring of seven historic trees were planted in honor of various organizations and individuals, including HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital, the 1992 Mayfest Committee, and several local environmental advocates.
Today, Harrold Park primarily serves as a green space for local residents and employees in the area. It provides a peaceful retreat within the urban environment of Fort Worth, offering a place for relaxation and passive recreation.
