Cobb Park

A Bit of History

Positioned in southeast Fort Worth, Cobb Park spreads across a generous 224.8 acres along the peaceful Sycamore Creek. This green space has been around since 1923, when H. H. Cobb of the Belcher Land and Mortgage Company offered the city 125 acres of creekside land.

During the 1930s, the park got a little facelift thanks to New Deal programs, which added those charming low stone walls you'll see edging the scenic drive today.

What You'll Find

The landscape here strikes an excellent balance between wooded areas and open spaces, giving you plenty of options whether you're looking for an active day out or just a peaceful retreat. The scenic trail system is fantastic for a morning jog, leisurely walk, or bike ride, while Sycamore Creek adds that special touch of natural beauty to your outdoor experience.

Cobb Park combines natural beauty and recreational opportunities across its spacious grounds.

Getting Active

Kids of all ages will love the multiple playground areas designed with different age groups in mind. From toddlers to teenagers, there's equipment for everyone, including classic swings and slides that never go out of style.

If basketball is more your thing, head over to the courts for a friendly game. The park also features large open grassy areas that are just begging for a frisbee toss, soccer match, or whatever sport strikes your fancy. Parents will appreciate how the open layout makes it easy to keep an eye on the little ones while they play.
