Fun facts

This 1.2-acre park was acquired in 2023 and is held in reserve; with a later date for development. The pocket park is two lots that connect to Tarrant Regional Water District's Trinity Trails along the West Fork of the Trinity River.

History

The park acquisition was approved by city council in 2023 via M&C 23-0928. Three lots were purchased, which will form the 1.2 acre pocket park.

Geology

The park lies within the Grayson Marl and Main Street Limestone of the Cretaceous Period. Grayson Marl consists of greenish-gray thinly interbedded limestone with nodular bits of shale, sand and fossiliferous material. The Main Street Limestone is hard, thin interbedded gray and white layers.

Soils

This park is located on a terrace of the West Fork of the Trinity River. Terraces are created over thousands of years of the rivers flooding over its banks and depositing sand, silt, clay and gravel to create a upland as the river cuts down through the geology.

Ecology

The pocket park is in an established neighborhood.  The West Fork of the Trinity River is leveed in this area, but the banks allow for some wildflowers to prosper during the growing season. Butterflies and other insects may be found along the river and into the park.
