Description
Dawn is a wonderful time to visit the Fort Worth Water Gardens since it's very quiet and peaceful. Before 7 am the water isn't even running! This is different view of the water gardens, this one with the Sheraton Hotel in the background. Others in this series are entitled 'Water Gardens Active Pool' and 'Fort Worth Water Gardens'. The Fort Worth Water Gardens are probably the most underrated attraction in Fort Worth. Maybe they just aren't 'active' enough and entertaining enough. There are no water slides, there are no cartoon characters, there are no snack stands or souvenir stands. They are only a beautiful place to sit and enjoy (although unfortunately some abuse it by swimming in the pools). The Fort Worth Water Gardens were built in 1974 and are located on the south end of downtown Fort Worth between Houston and Commerce Streets next to the Fort Worth Convention Center. The 4.3 acre (1.7 hectare) Water Gardens were designed by noted New York architects Philip Johnson and John Burgee and were dedicated to the City of Fort Worth by the Amon G. Carter Foundation. The urban park is frequently billed as a "cooling oasis in the concrete jungle" of downtown. Its focal points are three pools of water and a terraced knoll, which helps to shield the park from adjacent Interstate 30. The quiet meditation pool is encircled with trees and features a flat, still plane of water that cascades almost 90 degrees down to a sunken walkway. The aerating pool features multiple spray fountains. The main attraction of the Water Gardens is the active pool, seen here, which has water cascading 38 feet (11 m) down terraces and steps into a small pool at the bottom. The park also contains over 500 species of plants and trees.
