What are the Fort Worth Water Gardens?
¤°»ò¬O¨U«ä³ù¤ô¤Wªá¶é¡H
The Fort Worth Water Gardens strike me as a modern take on ancient city fountains,
with Mother Nature as the theme instead of cherubs and Roman gods.

Built in 1974 by a couple of fancy-pants architects from New York (Philip Johnson and John Burgee)
this park covers 4.3 acres smack dab in the middle of downtown Fort Worth,
Texas.

Even though flanked by skyscrapers and Interstate 30,
it successfully creates a contemplative oasis in the middle of a busy urban environment.

I would eat my lunch there as often as possible.

Best of all, this peaceful space is free to the public and open every single day!
The park is divided into four unique spaces:

The Active Pool
¬¡°Ê¦À
The Fort Worth Water Gardens “Active Pool”
is a spiral labyrinth of stepping stones leading down to a small pool in the center.

Water rushes down from a height of nearly four stories on all sides,
creating roaring white noise and mist.

On a hot Texas day (of which we have many) that mist is quite refreshing.

The cascading water of the Active Pool creates a confusing sensation of movement as you hop down the steps,
and there are no handrails – so tread carefully.

The Aerating Pool

The Aerating Pool features an evenly spaced array of sprinklers.

This can be a beautiful, rainbow-filled sight when the lighting is right.

It can also be frustrating on a hot day,
because wading is not allowed and all those sprinklers are just begging for
someone to go galloping through them in a bathing suit.

The Quiet Pool

The Fort Worth Water Gardens’ “Quiet Pool,”
is exactly that, quiet, languid and serene.

It’s the type of place that makes you start whispering even though it’s not required.

This meditative pool is a good spot to sit and sketch,
read a book, or maybe even steal a kiss from your sweetheart.

This large rectangular pool is rimmed by cypress trees,
which create beautiful shadows on the water-streaked walls of the perimeter.

The Mountain

This is the only section of the Fort Worth Water Gardens which does not feature water.
³o¬O¨U´µ³ù¤ô¤Wªá¶é°ß¤@¤£¨ã¦³¤ôªº³¡¤À¡C
The narrow ledges, created well before the rock-climbing walls of today,
are meant to simulate the feeling of climbing a mountain.
