Tillery Park

Park Overview

Set in Fort Worth, Texas, Tillery Park is a little slice of outdoor heaven just east of the Fort Worth Zoo. This 18.5-acre space overlooks the Trinity River and is popular among locals.

Playground Paradise

The heart of Tillery Park is its impressive playground area, which has something for kids of all ages - from tiny tots to adventurous grade-schoolers.

Kids absolutely love the main play area with its massive wooden structure featuring slides, bridges, and plenty of climbing opportunities, including a cool little rock climbing wall. Parents of younger children will appreciate the thoughtfully fenced section specifically designed with toddlers in mind.

The fun doesn't stop there - you'll discover various swings (including wheelchair accessible swings!), a classic merry-go-round, and several spinning features that'll have the kids giggling for hours. The playground's clever small-town design sparks imagination and creative play, turning an ordinary day at the park into an adventure.

Safety and Amenities

The entire park is enclosed by a fence, giving parents that extra peace of mind while the kids play. The equipment is well-maintained and clean.

Need a break? The park offers plenty of shaded areas with benches and picnic tables - ideal for a family lunch, birthday celebrations, or just catching your breath while watching the little ones play. Planning a cookout? There are grills available too.

Note that there aren't permanent bathrooms here, but the park does maintain porta-potties that are regularly cleaned. There's also no water fountain or water access on-site, so you might want to bring your own water bottles, especially on those hot Texas days.

Beyond the Playground

Tillery Park offers not only play equipment. There's a spacious open grassy field that's excellent for tossing a frisbee, having a picnic, or letting your four-legged friend burn off some energy.

Accessibility is thoughtfully addressed with a sidewalk surrounding the playground area, making navigation easy for wheelchairs and strollers alike. Handicap parking is also available for those who need it.

Feeling a bit adventurous? The park features trails winding through wooded areas for those looking to connect with nature - though keeping an eye on the kids is recommended while exploring these paths.

Don't miss the unique stone staircase that makes for a gorgeous photo backdrop. And with the Fort Worth Zoo and a public pool nearby, Tillery Park fits perfectly into a full day of family fun in Fort Worth.
