Fort Worth Climate Safe Neighborhood Coalition
In collaboration with community members, students, academic scholars, and practice partners, we aim to advance park equity while supporting climate health. Brief history: In May 2022, community partners formed the Fort Worth Climate Safe Neighborhood Coalition, whose strategic goal is to increase equitable access to safe, sustainable green space and to advance tree equity and extend environmental knowledge throughout Fort Worth. The first meeting of our Coalition took place at Glenwood Park, the green space that has been the focus of our park advocacy efforts from the start.

About Glenwood Park
Glenwood Park is a historic 37-acre park in southeast Fort Worth, less than 6 miles from TCU campus. We’ve hosted several events, which have included health promotion activities, clean-up, and also a bioblitz where we took inventory of all of the natural resources inside the park! See our News tab for more details and to see what we’ve accomplished together with community volunteers. View the Glenwood Park Master Plan presentation overview .
Updates on the Master Plan
Woohoo! We have much to celebrate! The 2026 Bond Program, which includes funds to start bringing the Glenwood Park master plan to life, passed in May! More information about the bond package can be found here.
