Our
mission is to provide an economic stimulus to East Fort Worth by providing
water and land stewardship that targets arts, recreation, and science, while
preserving the beauty of Lake Arlington and celebrating our diverse
community.
In Spring of 2011, the Living Waters Park project began in an
effort to increase access to the land in order to improve its impact on the
economy and diversify the community. Additionally, it was the hope of our
founder, Hazel Wiltz, to develop the land so that it becomes self-sustaining
through arts, recreation, and science. With the help of David Hopman from the
University of Texas at Arlington, a plan was developed to create jobs, maintain
green space, support water sports, and create private waterfront event
space. Bringing diverse cultures and families together Living Waters Park
will be a place that celebrates and encourages growth for both people and
nature in an effort to become an economic, social, and ecological global model.
Living Waters Park will have an eight bedroom lodge,
amphitheater, rain chapel, pavilion, children’s discovery woods, sports court. Plans also include a 40-slip marina with a yacht club and
bait/tackle shop. It will manage three types of capital, economic, social Kayaking,
fishing are a few more of the amenities. Through Living Waters Park, a nonprofit
organization, economic value is added by eco-efficiency in the delivery of
competitively priced goods and services that satisfy human needs and bring
quality of life, while progressively reducing ecological impacts and resource
intensity. It will seek positive social impacts through corporate donations and
the creation of employment. Your support and interest will witness to and
attract the corporate interest for their placement of community funds. Let’s
establish Living Waters Park, by and for the community!
