This beautiful, three-acre urban park serves as a Downtown park, special event space, and public art venue. Burnett Park is centrally located between West 7th, 10th, Cherry and Lamar Streets. This fabulous Downtown green space is available by reservation for private functions, fitness activities, birthday parties, family reunions, corporate events and festivals! The park can accommodate events of up to 2,000 people. In 2009-2010, the park underwent a renovation designed by renowned landscape architect, Peter Walker. Walker was the architect of record for the last Burnett Park award-winning renovation in 1984. The most recent renovation was made possible with funding from the Burnett Foundation. (DFWI), which has managed the park since 1985, coordinated the redesign process in cooperation with the City of Fort Worth. Additional funding was provided by Behringer Harvard and the US General Services Administration. The park has been renovated and updated several times over the decades and currently includes a monumental sculpture, play areas, granite walkways crossing through a lush green lawn and shady areas to enjoy the outdoors in the 3 acre space. The park features a "great lawn" for concerts and other events, unique playground equipment for children, enhanced lighting, updated landscaping, and moveable bistro-style tables and chairs.
