GLENWOOD PARK
Glenwood Park located between Fort Worth proper and Sycamore Park, was the second park in the city with same name. Sycamore Park was briefly known as Glenwood Park but the name was changed to avoid confusion. The community of Glenwood was platted in 1890. It was located just east of the Fort Worth city limits and south of the Texas and Pacific tracks. Glenwood Park was annexed into Fort Worth in 1909, The name Glenwood continued to be used for area churches and businesses.
This parcel was among the tracts that George Kessler recommended the board to acquire in his 1909 master plan. It wasn’t until 1927 that 31.66 acres was purchased for parkland from Mrs. Bell Tyler. The purchase price was $8,000!
HSNA is part of the The Glenwood Park Redevelopment Initiative.
