Fort Worth’s Central Park

Gateway Park is Fort Worth’s largest city park, spanning nearly 800 acres along the West Fork of the Trinity River. Located about a mile from downtown, the park is an expansive urban green space for engaging in recreation and community activities, while also providing a tranquil retreat for relaxation and rejuvenation.

With plans for additional trails and athletic fields, restored woodlands, water access, and cultural features, Gateway Park is poised to become one of the premier parks in Texas.
