Fort Worth is preparing to unveil Rock Creek Ranch Park in southwest Fort Worth, near Tarleton State University’s campus and Benbrook Lake. The park is part of a broader effort to preserve open spaces amid urban expansion.
The park supports the city’s Good Natured initiative, launched by Mayor Mattie Parker, which seeks to conserve 10,000 acres of open space by 2028. This project reflects Fort Worth’s strategic approach to balancing growth with environmental responsibility, using incentives to encourage developers to incorporate sustainable practices and preserve land in their developments.
To enhance open space, Fort Worth is collaborating with private developers, updating city policies, and revising its 2050 comprehensive plan. These efforts ensure that future developments align with the city’s green space goals, promoting connectivity and environmental sustainability.
