Fun facts

On February 15, 2011 the Fort Worth Mayor and City Council voted unanimously to accept the donation of parkland and facility improvements by Fort Worth South Inc. to become Watts Park. This beautiful central city park is named in honor of Dr. James M. Watts. Dr. Watts had a vision to improve the neighborhood through increased community amenities and green space. He helped raise money, along with community partners, to develop the strategic plan to revitalize the area.

Recreation

This small park is full of amenities for the neighborhood including a playground, a short ADA cement walking trail, a bike rack, picnic tables, benches, a shelter, and lighting.

Geology

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.

Soils

The park consists of Bolar soils, which are shallow, well drained, moderately permeable soils on gently sloping to steep uplands; that formed in interbedded limestones and marls of the Cretaceous Period.

Ecology

The park has shade trees for people and perching birds.
