Fort Worth, Texas
The Fort Worth Water Gardens is an architectural marvel and urban park designed by Philip Johnson and John Burgee. Opened in 1974, this 4.3-acre oasis features three distinct pools: the Active Pool, where water cascades down 38-foot stone terraces; the Aerating Pool, with its dancing fountains; and the Quiet Pool, a serene space surrounded by cypress trees.
Located next to the Fort Worth Convention Center, the Water Gardens offer a unique sensory experience of sight and sound. Visitors can descend into the Active Pool's canyon or relax by the tranquil blue water of the Quiet Pool. It is a celebrated landmark of modern landscape architecture and a peaceful retreat in downtown.
