Great Family Park & is also fun for ALL ages since there is not only a large & very nice playground area but they also have the walking path(which is a paved sidewalk), an exercise/work-out area), picnic area with bar-be-que pits, the very large pond(which the walking path goes around) the is fun for fishing & feeding the ducks & geese that live there @ the Park, & then it also has a very large field area where you can play football, soccer, disk golf, baseball, tag, softball, etc.! It is also has lots of trash cans & was kept pretty clean back when I brought my kids there pretty much daily back when my oldest(a girl) was between the ages of 3 to 7-8 years old & my youngest(a boy) was 1 to 5-6 years old (they are now 11 & 13 years old)!!! It was our family's favorite Park to go to & was only about a 5min drive from our old house on Santiago Ave. over by the Woodway Elementary School!!! So if you live in that area, have children or heck even if ya don't, I promise if you like the outdoors, & you haven't tried Candleridge Park...I promise you'll love it, Scout's Honor!!! ⚜️

I take my grandchildren there to play on the playground. The water area is peaceful, but please do not let your children play in the water for their our moccasins that live in the cement cracks around the water. Also it's nice to fish there but please don't eat the fish
Playground
The playground is under construction at this time. But when they're done with it it'll be a great place to take you're children
Dog-friendliness
There is a sidewalk that goes all the way around the water and the playground a lot of people take their dogs and walks there too and they are always on a leased and kind and so are the people
Picnic area
It's nice to have a picnic there while your children are playing

  • Ivy Fergie

I like taking my kids here for little picnics and to feed the ducks and just have a good time. The playground area has two different play areas for different ages- toddlers and big kids, there's also a exercise area. It's doesn't have a portable toilet, or restroom facility though there are stores nearby that do. There's no parking lot so you have to park on the street. There are two covered picnic table areas and several benches scattered throughout the park. My only complaint is that the lake can be polluted at times and that smells bad. But overall this is a nice park and the other people who come here are respectful as well.

  • Elizabeth Eber

When I was a little girl, I used to play at this park. This place will always have a place in my heart. I recently visited with a friend to enjoy a nice and quiet picnic under the gazebo and thoroughly enjoyed my time. The park has stayed well maintained, it was clean, thriving, and beautiful. The pond was clean, filled with ducks and turtles. The ground was free of trash, the bridge was well cared for (we were safe from splinters), and the playground was small, pleasant and safe for children to enjoy. Very pleased to see that this place is still in good shape and I hope it remains that way. :)

This big, little park is nestled within a neighborhood. It has all the things. Strategically placed benches, trash cans, and doggy doo stations. Giant old trees, a creek, ducks and other various wildlife. Nicely paved walkways wide enough to accommodate passing. Equipment for the kids. Being adjacent to the neighborhood also means walking across the street to the park. It spans a huge portion of the neighborhood, so many get to enjoy its view from the comfort of their home.

  • Derrick Jolly

Beautiful park. Very clean and spacious. Ducks, squirrels, and birds to enjoy. But... Parents of elementary aged children, the playground is not a drop-off spot for you to leave your children and go walk a few laps. I will say that not all children left alone are a nuisance. But it only takes one child to be loud and speaking in a vulgar manner to ruin a nice day in the park. If you're not hanging out at the play area, you're in the perfect park.

  • Candice Jones

I live across the street from this park. I take my morning walks here, when I do them. They have a walking path around a beautiful small lake. The ducks are adorable. It's always a beautiful scene when I walk. They have a nice little playground for the kiddos to play and I play there too. It's just nice and it gets full sometimes on the walking path, but everyone so far have been courteous and friendly. It's a great to have in the neighborhood.

  • Persephone Shaw Agostolianueta

Candleridge Park was a treat to visit. It was nestled in a well kept and quiet neighborhood. It had plenty of open spaces and cool shady trees. There was also a paved path that encompassed a small creek bed. The path had several sturdy cool benches that were positioned in the best areas. My son and my little pet Chihuahua also thoroughly enjoyed all that the breezey and beautiful Candleridge Park had to offer.

  • john bourdeau

Well it was the best in almost a year, let me explain the wife and I were getting lunch on the road and it was a beautiful day too, so i was thinking about a place to go and eat outside and we ended up at the Candleridge park and the very sight of seeing of people playing, jogging and birthday parties was absolutely heavenly. Suicide rate is up, Life is too short to be locked down.

  • Frank Myers

We have been using Candleridge Park and French Lake for the walking trails. People and dog friendly! The creek litters up from time to time due to storms, but locals keep that pretty clean. City maintained, Candleridge HOA keeps after the City to keep the grass cut. Picnic tables and bbq stands in some areas. Some areas are nicely shaded, others are wide open. Nice park, overall.

  • Victoria M.

Great place for exercise, or just getting a peace of mind. Beautiful lake and scenery.
Playground
Brand new playground
Dog-friendliness
Very dog friendly
Picnic area
Trees, benches, Pavillion with tables.... or, old fashioned blanket on the grass beside the lake. Lots of greedy ducks, squirrels and turtles, lol

  • JDM Engineuity

Great place to walk or relax, geese and ducks, and the occasional turtle can be seen. Nice bridge for pictures. I have seen some homeless around every now and then towards the end of the evening, but that's to be expected at any park near apts. They aren't bothersome, never had anyone ask me for money or anything like that

  • Not Blushing

I adore this place! I get to go everytime with my lover and especially when it’s night time. The stars reflect off of the little pond. The creek is nice and the ducks are friendly too! I recommend this place to go to with your lover, family or for partying! Maybe even if you need some time outside (Disc- NotBlushing#7880)

  • Niky Reyes

Large variety of equipment for all ages. I enjoy bringing my one year old here since there's a plastic toddler playground. I don't have to worry about her hurting herself as much, and it's a great way to transition them into the bigger playgrounds. There's even a swing that accommodates mothers with smaller children.

  • JG Nevels

When I was growing up, this was always our favorite park to go to. It has a very nice walking trail, a couple of fields to play on, a medium-sized playground, and a lot more. It also has a pond with ducks in it, hence the nickname my family gives it, "The Duck Pond Park". Great park, a lot of memories were made here!

  • S. Harris

This is a linear park with a lengthy paved trail for walking, running, jogging, and bicycling. The trails run alongside a creek and the main center of the park features a small lake. The main center of the park also has a playground. While this park isn’t drop dead gorgeous, it is a nice place to unwind.

  • Mama87

I love this park. It's peaceful and even though it's next to some shady apartments, we don't really get a lot of drama over here like we do at Patricia Le Blanc. This park is like right between the good and the bad neighborhood lol, and it gets a nice mixture of people. Never had any drama over here.

  • Dan Daugherty

Park great for strolling or sitting on a nice bench under a shade tree. Large scenic pond with ducks, saw a guy fishing from edge. Stream fed. Wide spacious walkways. Pedestrian bridge at one point over stream. Family and pet friendly. Lots of people strolling. Very nice, comfortable experience.

  • Bruce Willden

New playground is very nice. Right now, they are dredging the lake, so the park is not at its best. Otherwise the rating would be 5 Stars. If you like feeding the ducks, they love it. If you like feeding the squirrels, bring walnuts or pecans. The ducks and geese don't like the nuts! More

  • Britiany A

This park has a nice trail around it, seems like visitors respect the beauty by cleaning after their pets. A few fishermen was spotted during my visit. Plenty of turtles, ducks and squirrels throughout the park. Nice play area for the kids along with seating around the walking path.

  • Steve “Blackbead” Sanders

We walk here regularly. A nice neighborhood park where you'll see plenty of wizards uniting! Beautiful, still, but needs some shaded areas where people can sit.
Restrooms
They don't have any. And don't pee in the bushes!
Picnic area
Needs more shaded table areas!!

  • Eric Martin

Nice park. Grew up here since I was a kid. Must say city needs trim the trees....otherwise a special place for me. Nice expanded walkways and the ducks are always chilling...sometimes they will come up to you...as they are used to people feeding them.

  • Kimberly

They are currently working on the playground and it was honestly kind of a bummer. It was very nice outside and there were literally like 70 people at the park, but the kids didn’t really have anywhere to play because they tore the playground down.

  • Rob Caldwell

Nice park for a family walk. Park has a nice Lake with fountains and lots of ducks as well as large path that goes around it. Good place to walk the dog, go for a run, fly a kite, or feed the ducks with some bread. My family comes here frequently.

  • Mario Baker

Love this park. I always bring my toddler here to feed the ducks.While me and my son's throw the pigskin around a bit. There's enough safe playground equipment for all the kids. And enough field space to throw to Superbowl games . …

  • Susan milledge

Landscape was very good, very pleasant, peaceful away from the hustle and bustle of city traffic. I really enjoyed my walk with family and everyone that we came across was very nice and everyone spoke to each other in passings, very friendly.

  • Nylia Porter

I Love that park. It's so Beautiful and Peaceful. I can relax and clear my mind. And feed the Ducks, Geese, Turtles, Squirrels, Doves, meet nice people, walk around the trail and lose some weight. And all the pretty houses. It's So Green!!!

  • Jorail Jermany

Unfortunately the water is not as clear and clean as it once was. It's still a nice place to run or utilize the playground and simple self workout equipment. The city of Fort Worth needs to clean it up and turn the water fountain back on.

  • Mark McKain

A nice quiet place with a walking path around a small lake. It has a small fountain and Playground equipment for kids! You can walk here and see people of all ages, and get a friendly smile and hello from most! Ducks and geese too...

  • U Stanley

Candleridge Park has been a gem for years. Playgrounds of all types, a walking trail with a cute little bridge and a small lake with a fountain. On any given day/time many use the park for exercise and gatherings at the shelters.

  • Patrick Burke

I had a great time today. Brought my pole and tackle just for fun. Got a few nibbles but no hard bites. Was using punch bait on a double-drop at first. Switched to worms and slip-sinker by the end. Nobody was hungry today.

  • D. Ashley

I can only speak for the calisthenics side of the park its decent for what it is I was hope for actual bars for dips instead of bench dips. I also wish they didn't put wood pellets as the flooring in calisthenics area.

  • Peter Del Rio

Kids playground is maintained fairly well just wish they had a canopy over it. Good area to go bike riding or for a jog. Good place to relax and feed the ducks too, don't feed them too much though they'll bunch up.

  • Davelyn Donoho

Just looking around haven't been there in a couple years the water when down in the pond getting to much trash in the pond ..time for a clean up.. alot more ducks now....other then that it was good little walk...

  • Elena Linville-Abdo

Nice little park. Clean and the trees provide some shade on hot days. Only complaint is that there is no dedicated parking. You have to park on the street.
Dog-friendliness
Nice trails for walking dogs.

  • Kim Dottavio

It's a great park however there renovating the playground area and it seems to be at a standstill waiting for new equipment. It's still a nice park tho, there are ducks and turtles many things to explore!!!

  • nomad

Large playground, large pond with ducks & walking path. Park used to be alot nicer and cleaner but has gone downhill in recent years. No public restrooms. Park would be much nicer if they kept it cleaner.

  • Margie Paul

I love the Candlelight Park, the ducks, squirrels, turtles the benches where you can just sit & relax . The only thing I think the city can keep the edges of the water clean it blocks to nasty and trash.

  • Ashley Brancato

Great park with a good amount of equipment for the kids to play on. Tons of trees for shade so it's not ungodly hot for them either. They got a kick out of seeing the ducks and turtles in the water too.

  • John Tuchek

Nice park with a small pond that is frequented by ducks and geese. Kids playground equipment is getting old and starting to crack and show signs of wear... one tunnel definitely needs to get replaced.

  • Justin Phillips

Been coming here since I was born. Always been a great park, and a great place to take the kids. Great walking trail, great fishing, great playgrounds. Great family place to get out in the outdoors.

  • Katress Dunson

  • Carlos Jaquez

The fountain, the creeks feeding off and the playground are all very well kept and a very nice place to walk and spend your evening. It's a little piece of tranquility in the middle of the city

  • Kadlyn

Squirrels , crows, geese and ducks live here all in harmony is a good place to relax and watch the animals but please don’t feed geese and ducks bread feed them lettuce and better alternatives.

  • Darrion Harvey

I took my 2 year old here and it was so magical for her she talks about it all the time and wonders when we are going back and I loved it as well such a great adventure and memorable experience

  • Jenn Pedersen

What a neat place! Squirrels ate right from our hands. Not sure that's a good thing though. I'd hate for someone to hurt them, or take one home as a pet.

  • Serrano Serrano

It's a nice park for walking. Sometimes you have to watch for the loose dogs but outside of that it's a decent place to chillout at and sit by the pond.

  • Timothy

Very nice views and well kept lawns. However, no place to park. Very bad planning for a park with no place to park cars except the street for visitors.
