Oakmont Park

Location and History

Oakmont Park is a sizable green space located in southwest Fort Worth, Texas, not far from Benbrook Lake and south of the Clear Fork of the Trinity River. The park spans approximately 127.2 acres and was established in 1980 when the land was donated by Oakmont Joint Ventures for public use.

The park features a diverse landscape with mature trees, open grassy areas, and scenic views along the Trinity River corridor. It includes a bluff and sits at the junction of the East Cross Timbers and the Fort Worth Prairie Region, offering visitors a unique ecological experience.

Trails and Recreation

Oakmont Park provides a range of recreational opportunities for visitors. The park includes well-maintained walking and biking trails that meander through wooded areas and over two scenic bridges.

These trails connect to the larger Trinity Trails system, allowing for extended exploration of the surrounding natural areas.

Family-Friendly Amenities

For families and children, the park offers a modern playground area with equipment suitable for various age groups. The playground is divided into two sections - a larger area for older children and a smaller, simpler section designed for toddlers.

This thoughtful design ensures that children of all ages can enjoy safe and age-appropriate play experiences.

Wildlife and Conservation

In addition to its recreational facilities, Oakmont Park serves as an important green space for wildlife and conservation. The park's location along the Trinity River corridor makes it a valuable part of the local ecosystem, providing habitat for various plant and animal species.
