The Active Pool
The Fort Worth Water Gardens, built in 1974, is located on the south end of downtown Fort Worth between Houston and Commerce Streets next to the Fort Worth Convention Center. The 4.3 acre (1.7 hectare) Water Gardens were designed by noted New York architects Philip Johnson and John Burgee and were dedicated to the City of Fort Worth by the Amon G. Carter Foundation.The main attraction of the Water Gardens is the active pool which has water cascading 38 feet (11 m) down terraces and steps into a small pool at the bottom.
The Active Pool is wild and turbulent, an urban imagining of waters’ course down a mountain. Beginning at the top with placid flows as if from melting ice, the west and north walls become steeper and the water’s flow more urgent. Sheets of water turn into streams and streams become crashing rivers that tumble into the frothing sea. A waterfall on the east crashes to the bottom over steep terraces.

The Quiet Pool is located within a canyon. Within the canyon you are surrounded by water flowing down the walls as if from hidden springs high overhead. Cypress trees tower above and surround a serene pool, a lake, still and cool at the base of the canyon.
Pagoda Birdhouse
A pagoda is a tiered tower with multiple eaves, built in traditions originating in historic East Asia or with respect to those traditions, common to Nepal, India, China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Burma and other parts of Asia. Some pagodas are used as Taoist houses of worship. Most pagodas were built to have a religious function, most commonly Buddhist, and were often located in or near viharas. In some countries, the term may refer to other religious structures.

The active pool experience was built for people to walk down the terraced steps and experience the power, sounds and motion of water crashing around them.
hōtō
A hōtō is a pagoda consisting of four parts: a low foundation stone, a cylindrical body with a rounded top, a four-sided roof and a finial. Unlike the similar tahōtō it has no enclosed pent roof (mokoshi) around its circular core. Like the tahōtō it takes its name from Buddhist deity Tahō Nyorai. The hōtō was born during the early Heian period, when the Tendai and Shingon sects first arrived in Japan. Indeed, because it does not exist on the Asian continent, it is believed to have been invented in Japan.

Zen Relaxation
The Japanese rock garden or "dry landscape" garden, often called a Zen garden, creates a miniature stylized landscape through carefully composed arrangements of rocks, water features, moss, pruned trees and bushes, and uses gravel or sand that is raked to represent ripples in water. A Zen garden is usually relatively small, surrounded by a wall, and is usually meant to be seen while seated from a single viewpoint outside the garden, such as the porch of the Hojo, the residence of the chief monk of the temple or monastery. Classical Zen gardens were created at temples of Zen Buddhism in Kyoto, Japan during the Muromachi Period. They were intended to imitate the intimate essence of nature, not its actual appearance, and to serve as an aid to meditation about the true meaning of life.
