Neighborhood & Community
Southside Zoning and Council Districts
The city promotes orderly growth and land use while protecting existing property owners by grouping together compatible development — a practice known as zoning.
Before land is developed in the city, it must be zoned and platted. Property in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) is subject to platting only.

Glenwood Park
Glenwood Park is actually the second park in the city with this name. Sycamore Park was briefly known as Glenwood Park but the name was changed to avoid confusion with the community of Glenwood located between Fort Worth proper and Sycamore Park.
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. Even after it was annexed into Fort Worth in 1909, the name Glenwood continued to be used for area churches and businesses. Within the community was Tyler’s Lake, a privately owned beauty spot that was a popular gathering place for residents.
This parcel was among the tracts that George Kessler recommended that the park board 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
