Fun facts
On March 4, 2014, the City Council accepted the dedication of approximately 21.1215 acres of parkland and facility improvements from Saratoga Homeowners Association, Inc. for Saratoga Park. The facility improvements included a playground, approximately 4,000 linear feet of trail, and three pedestrian low-water crossings. The improvements exceeded the neighborhood park development fee requirement. The park is north of Timberland Boulevard, south of Keller-Haslet Road, and west of North Beach Street.
Recreation
A nearly one mile cement trail connects the three sections of Saratoga Park. The park has a playground area near the HOA privately-maintained swimming pool and recreation facility.
Geology
The geology of the park lies within the Pawpaw, Weno Limestone and Denton Clay geologic formations. Pawpaw is a calcareous ledge-forming marl interbedded with limestone and clay. Weno Limestone contains thin marl interbeds that forms resistant upland ledges. Denton Clay encompasses alternating clay, marl, and limestone.
Soils
The soils at the park are of the Medlin series, which consists of deep, well drained, very slowly permeable soils that formed in clayey marine sediments. These soils are on narrow stream divides and slopes along drainageways.
Ecology
Saratoga Park is an example of a vanishing Blackland Prairie wetland. The stream and wetlands provide habitat to an abundance of native plants, pollinators, and wildlife. Fort Worth lies within the Central Flyway, which is an important neotropical migratory bird flight path. Wetlands and riparian corridors are where birds and other wildlife find food, water, and shelter.
A nearly one mile long trail follows the stream as it flows towards Henrietta Creek. Henrietta Creek merges with Elizabeth Creek, then Denton Creek and eventually flowing into Grapevine Lake. Our parks with riparian corridors, wetlands, and upland prairie provide critical ecosystem services that slow erosion and runoff and filter pollutants out of stormwater before it reaches regional drinking water reservoirs such as Grapevine Lake.
