Water Gardens in Fort Worth

This unusual park with pools and fountains is located in downtown Fort Worth. Often called a refreshing oasis in the concrete jungle.


Water Gardens were built in 1974 and occupyan area of ​​1.7 acres . Were designed by New York architects Philip Johnson and JohnBurgee'a. Park consists of three pools and a terrace hill, which separates the area from Interstate.
The first of the tanks is a pool of silent meditation, the tile is flat, like unbroken. It is surrounded by trees, and water flows withnearly vertical walls and sidewalks adjacent wraps.
In the next pool were installed numerous fountains that throw up water to form mist. At this point, you can often see a rainbow,when in the air drops of water will be illuminated by the Sun.

The main attraction of Water Gardens is the last of the pools. Water with more than 10 meters stepped slope drains into a smallreservoir at the bottom. This pool is designed to be able to navigate the stairs and going down below to feel the water flowing.
