Dream Park is one of Fort Worth's newer playgrounds located in the larger Trinity Park area off of the Trinity River. It is one of the cities inclusive parks and has features such as rubber surfacing for those with poor mobility and for those in wheelchairs, ramps, adaptive swings and lots of great sensory rich elements both visually and auditory.

Krauss-Baker Park is a linear park located between an industrial and residential area. It is located in the south west area of Fort Worth in the Wedgwood neighborhood. At the park you will find open green areas with trees, bodies of water and a paved trail that parallels the ponds and creek. The park has been adopted by the local Wedgwood Garden Club. They host nature walks there and monthly trash clean ups. In the winter of 2019, the city planted more than 20 trees in the area to provide more shade along the walkways and to add more vegetation.
Wedgwood Park is our home park. It is the park that surrounds one of our local elementary schools and is the closest one for us to walk to. We often go there when we just need to visit a park but don’t feel like trekking out far to get to one. Though it is a smaller neighborhood park it still offers plenty to. The kids particularly love going there because it has a merry go round.
![]() It was getting late on Christmas day and we had been inside all day playing with our new toys and eating food when we decided that it was time we got out of the house. So, we headed to Handley Park around 5pm just long enough to be there for a few hours and play in the last rays of the day. We have driven by the park a few times, as our nature-based preschool is located just around the corner and decided it was about time we have it a visit. As usual, the kids ran screaming to the playground and the 7-year-old jumped out and got his new remote controlled car situated and ready to take off around the park.
This park was the very first of this kind that we have been to. The neat thing that I have learned as I read up on this park was that it is the first inclusive park in the nation. How cool is it that it started right here in our own backyard? This playground was named as a National Demonstration Site for meeting best practices for inclusive playgrounds by Playcore. When we first got there the kids, as well as us adults, were amazed by the size and features of this park.
