Fun facts and History

This 17-acre park was acquired in 1971 and was purchased with U.S. Bureau of Outdoor Recreation matching funds in compliance with the 1965-70 Capital Improvement Program for the Southwest Hills area. Before it was officially dedicated as a City park it was known as Southwest Hills Park. Its terrain is flat to slightly rolling with a creek along the southeast side. Among the earliest improvements was the installation of playground equipment. A shelter was erected in 1986. Playground renovations occurred in 2000. In 2002, the City entered into a lease agreement with the Fort Worth ISD giving the district access to 0.22 acres for part of an athletic facility for the construction of the outfield fence for a new baseball diamond at South Hills High School. As of 2014, the park contains a shelter, playground, trail, and picnic facilities. Improvements to the playground were completed in 2023.^{^[1]}
