About the Location
Historical Background
Harrold Park was dedicated in 1950 after being gifted to the city in 1947 by Mrs. M. M. Barnes as a memorial to her father, E. B. Harrold, an early Fort Worth banker and businessman.
The park's site was originally the location of Mrs. Barnes' childhood home, built in the early 1880s by George B. Loving. Before becoming a public park, the property was known for its lovely gardens, lily pond, small greenhouse, and statuary.
Living Legacy Forest
In 1993, Harrold Park became the site of Fort Worth's first Living Legacy Forest. As part of this initiative, offspring of seven historic trees were planted in honor of various organizations and individuals.
These honorees include HealthSouth Rehabilitation Hospital, the 1992 Mayfest Committee, and several local environmental advocates.
Park Today
Today, Harrold Park primarily serves as a green space for local residents and employees in the area. It provides a peaceful retreat within the urban environment of Fort Worth.
This pocket park offers a place for relaxation and passive recreation, maintaining its historical significance while serving the community.
