General Information

Tandy Hills Natural Area (THNA) is a 160-acre indigenous remnant of Fort Worth prairie adjacent to I-30 and less than 5 minutes from downtown. The fact that it has never been plowed or developed and survived into the 21st century in relatively pristine condition is remarkable.Visit your local prairie for free family events run entirely by volunteers. During your hike, we invite you to log observations of plants and animals to the THNA iNaturalist page!

A brief history: The land was obtained by the City of Fort Worth Parks and Community Services Department in 1960 and designated a “natural area” in 1987. Since 1990, the park has been managed by the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge. Noted for its unusually complete collection of prairie flora, THNA contains more than 600 native plant species. The show of spring wildflowers is unsurpassed in the Metroplex. The land is a living example of how most of Fort Worth and the Great Plains appeared in pre-development times.
