 S.B. Burnett Park by Yaqui I was very touched by the statement on the wall engraved. I think is says enough: "I S.B. Burnett do hereby give onto the city of Fort Worth, this land for the purpose of creating a place of recreation in the very heart of the city, as a public park and particulary for relief against the heat of our summer, and as resting spot for tired mothers and their children, said park shall be known as the Burnett Memorial Park, not for my own vain glory, but to perpetuate the memory of my two children, ANN & BURK now long gone from me." ~ S.B. Burnett - 1919 ~ Ok, this touched my heart very much. It has these wonderful water displays all over the park. It is said it lights up at night. I could see that business people and mothers with their precious little ones strolling around the park. I think Mr. Burnett would have been so happy to see that! Location is at Cherry Ave and W. 7th St. Leave a Comment

 Beautiful path! by Yaqui If you like biking, jogging, rollerblading, and just plan walking around and enjoying nature. Then you will enjoy this 35 miles of network paved and natural paths that follows the river along with spectacular views of many parks and downtown. Make sure to take a map and water since drinks fountains are not regular on the paths. Stop by the Vistor Centers in the Stockyards or in the Will Rogers Memorial Center for information. One part of the trails leads you to the Zoo and Log Cabin Village which is nearby. Marriott Residence Inn and Courtyard is right across the street of the trail and river. Leave a Comment

by Yaqui Built in 1895 and built to look like the Texas State Capital building in Austin. Made of red granite native to Texas. This is a beautiful historical building to see and appreciate the history of law that started and still is being passed down from this very building. It has many wonderful memorials dedicated to fireman, policeman, POW's/MIA's stone plaques located around the structure grounds. Venture around and take a look. 100 W. Weatherford Street. Located by the Sundance Square. Leave a Comment

 Beautiful! by Yaqui This is a 130 year old church which caught my eye as I was venturing around the city. I just had to venture to this site to take pictures since it was such a beautiful and stunning structure. I have an appreciation for historical buildings, especially those that are still and used today and still loved by those who utilize it. Very lovely church. Church History 800 West Fifth Street Fort Worth, Texas 76102 On the corner of Henderson and W. 7th St. Leave a Comment

 Eye Catching! by Yaqui This is the Tarrant Civil Court House designed by Fort Worth Architect Wyatt C. Hedrick's. Yet later, 1988, Architect George C.T. Woo was hired to put a facade on the building. It has painted facades that makes it looks like it has texture and depth. The painted designs on this building give it a 3D effect. From a distance it looks like it has actual stone facade when it doesn't. It impressed me. Located at 100 N. Houston . Next to the Tarrant County Court House Leave a Comment

 S.B.Burnett Park by Yaqui This statue is huge and must be over or at least 50 feet high. It is very impressive to see this structure stand up on its own. Seems while researching about this piece of artwork, or to some is a giant size cookie cutter. While the city was finding room to install the structure they had to removed some very old trees. The parks service said they relocated these trees to other parks to be preserved, but not without angering many because they had a huge protest about it. Still, as you look up into the sky at this statue whether is has the blue with clouds floating by behind it or up against the city business buildings, it is impressive. I had to touch it! I can appreciate the artistry in it. You must go take a look at for sure. Location is at Cherry Ave and W. 7th St. Leave a Comment

 Just one of many;-) by Yaqui As you walk the hallway, hopefully you will notice the wonderful beautiful murals that adorn the upper part of the walls. To me they represent the history of Ft. Worth. I just was taken by them. Most just say "That's Nice. Not me, I have a appreciate for all art, especially mural art that is sometimes lost by a layer of paint. Located at 2501 Rodeo Plaza & Exchange Leave a Comment
