Fun facts

Walnut Creek Park is located in west Fort Worth along Walnut Creek.

The geology of the park is Goodland Limestone and Walnut Clay. These were formed in deep sea marine environments in the Early Cretaceous. Goodland is coarsely nodular. The southern portion of the park is comprised of Kiamichi Formation of the Early Cretaceous. Kiamichi expresses Gryphaea marine fossils and some pecten in sandstone. Soils are Frio silty and loamy alluvium in the floodplain of Walnut Creek. Upland from the creek, the soils are a mix of classic Fort Worth Prairie types including Maloterre, Aledo, and Brackett. Maloterre is residuum from weathered limestone. Aledo soils are shallow calcareous in nature. Brackett series soil is weathered limestone found on dissected plateaus and stair-stepped topography. Stair-stepped topography is a unique landscape of the geographically-limited Fort Worth Prairie.
