Hyde Park - Fort Worth, TX - Municipal Parks and Plazas on Waymarking.com

Sarah Jennings donated the land for this park to the city in 1873 to honor her parents and to provide some park space in the middle of the rapidly growing Fort Worth.

The Plaques and Panther statue were refurbished in 2002 by the man who owned the Flatiron Building (next to the park). Other partners in the effort included the T (Fort Worth's mass transit company) and the General Services Administration (the Federal Building is across the street). The park was expanded and a transit plaza added along 9th in 2010, with the transit plaza's grand opening in February 2011.
