Fun Facts and History

Handley was a small-unincorporated community located approximately seven miles east of downtown Fort Worth along the Texas & Pacific Railway. After a contentious battle, it was finally annexed into the city proper in 1946. This park was created in 1948 to serve the area. By 1957, the park contained approximately 15.45 acres that were partially wooded and had a picnic shelter with toilets. Playground renovations including site/equipment demolition, site grading and installation of new playground equipment, and other amenities were approved in 2005 and its shelter was replaced in 2006-07. Other amenities include a playground and picnic facilities. Also in the park is the Handley Meadowbrook Community Center, where staff offer programs of interest to people of all ages.
