“Fort Worth Prairie is a unique ecosystem that hosts many endemic species (found nowhere else in the world),” said Michelle Villafranca, park operations and nature resource planner. “Oakmont Park protects a sliver of this disappearing ecosystem, and we are working to improve the prairie that remains.”

Dedicated in 1981, the park spans 127 acres and is home to native species like pale yucca, star milkvine, prairie Brazoria, and more.
