In 2018, a developer had plans<\/a> to turn a former rock quarry in Fort Worth into condominiums, apartments, hotels, a convention center and a music venue along a beach with a 100-foot tall Ferris wheel.<\/p>\n A decade later, the city says, the land will instead become a nature park.<\/p>\n At its meeting on Sept. 29, the Fort Worth City Council is set to accept the dedication of Quarry Falls, a roughly 12-acre area of park land near 4800 Decatur Road that has had $1.13 million in improvements installed by the developer, Greystar.<\/p>\n Greystar has installed a quarter mile walking trail, two benches, and a trash can, according to a city document. The company plans to install another 1,300 linear feet of trails and a 40-car parking lot.<\/p>\n Greystar purchased the property in 2024. Developer Ed Casebier of Renaissance Development told the Star-Telegram back in 2018 about the company\u2019s plans to find new life for the abandoned rock quarry.<\/p>\n Casebier and his business partner Tom Blanton, who died in 2014, restored the T&P building in downtown Fort Worth.<\/p>\n The dedication is essentially a donation of the land to the city.<\/p>\n
