The Fort Worth Water Gardens is one of the best attractions that Texas has to offer. The water garden was dedicated to the City of Fort Worth by the Amon G. Carter Foundation. The water park is divided into 4 areas: The Active Pool, The Aerating Pool, The Quiet Pool and The Mountain. The Active Pool is done the traditional way, just like Solomon’s temple where the water comes from different directions, creating waterfalls, something to cool you down from the heat of Texas. The sci-fi movie “Logan’s Run “shot a chase scene here on 1975. Next is the Aerating Pool which has evenly spaced array of sprinklers that creates rainbows as sunlight passes through the tiny droplets. The Quiet Pool, as the name suggest is very quiet and tranquil. The cypress trees that surround the pool create a shadow that makes the place dramatic.
