Overview
The Pond began as a storm water facility requirement by the city of Fort Worth, but created for both detention and retention of storm water.
Now, we are creating a great outdoor space for water activities. Much of the important and enjoyable activities in the Texas outdoors involves our beautiful lakes, rivers and streams.

Notes
The design of the Pond is such that it retains a permanent retention pool level of water, supplemented by an irrigation well on the property. It also has a fixed overflow spillway, should a storm it's detention capacity.
- Pool depth in the center - 14'

- Area within the wall contains - approx. 30,600sf
- The overflow spillway is approx. 5' above the detention drain, approx. 172,500cf of detention
The long term plan is to build a board walk around the perimeter, raise trees and other vegetation in the basin and above the permanent retention water line.
