Azle Central Park |
||||
 2nd Place - 2008 Texas Master Gardener Awards  The Parker County Master Gardener Association has landscaped several areas
in Azle’s Central Park located on 28-acres on Main Street in Azle. The
group designed the landscaping at the park’s entrance, next door to the
Masonic Lodge as well as around the gazebo. The ribbon was cut and Central Park officially opened on Monday, July 14, 2008 at 10 am. This was truly a community effort; with help from volunteers, local businesses, donations from Azle citizens, Parker County Master Gardeners and city staff all working together to make this dream a reality. The Texas Parks & Wildlife provided the grant that helped build this park.  In addition to the gazebo and entrance landscaping, the role of PCMG
members is to educate the public on good horticultural practices. Parker
County Master Gardener, Dianne Bleau and Tarrant County Master Gardener
Tammy Edwards are coordinating the work and the educational programs. The
programs will be presented on various subjects of interest to local
gardeners and will use the park as both inspiration and a resource.
Although it virtually straddles the Parker and Tarrant County lines, it is
located in Parker County. The park is located at 263 W Main St, next to the new Azle Memorial Library, which is scheduled to open fall (2008). The park is open from 7:00 am -12:00 midnight. Features include skate park, volleyball courts, basketball court, gazebo, pavilion, picnic tables, amphitheatre, exercise stations, Smartscape garden, one mile walking trail and other outdoor activities. All are handicap accessible. For more information, please contact the Parks Department at 817.444.7127. | ||||
