Before and After: Check this shot from 1974 when the Water Gardens were new. The oak trees look like saplings! Do you see the marquee?

Below is the north view circa 2010, where the first expansion replaced the JFK Theatre with a ballroom, meeting rooms, additional exhibit hall space and the Water Gardens Plaza.

Drop a comment if you recall when these developments were new.

All gave some. Some gave all.

We remember the ultimate sacrifices of our veterans this Memorial Day and share a marker that calls them to memory for all time. Under the shady oaks on the northwest corner of our center, this pink granite marker honors the courage and sacrifice of Tarrant County veterans in WWII, WWII, Korea and Vietnam in all branches of service.
