History[1]
The Fort Worth Japanese Garden ⭐ was completed in 1973. The garden was originally the site of an old gravel pit. Few changes were made to the existing terrain in an effort to capitalize on every existing stone and tree.
It is a traditional stroll Garden with winding paths through the landscapes and around ponds. The Garden consists of 7.5 acres of filled with cherry trees, Japanese maples, magnolias, bamboo, bridges, and ponds which are home to over 1,200 Koi fish.
