Trinity Uptown / Central City

The most well-known of all Trinity River Vision projects is the plan to create an urban waterfront community to the north of downtown Fort Worth. This plan is known by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) simply as "Central City", but to most of the public it is called "Trinity Uptown". While having two names can seem confusing, it's really quite fitting for a plan with two major components:





 

Development Inspired by Uptown

Trinity Uptown is the largest mixed-use development in Fort Worth, creating a model “live, work, play” environment. Smarter zoning will encourage sustainable central city growth that includes three million square feet of commercial space and 10,000 mixed-income households.

Boating & Water Activities

Water taxis, riverboat dining, gondolas, kayaks and other boats will be able to transport people from the future Stockyards Marina, through downtown and into Trinity Park.

River Walk & Canals

Over twelve miles of flowing canals and continuous public walkways will be the heart and soul of Trinity Uptown.

Riverfront Dining & Entertainment

Bustling riverside corridors lined with cafes, restaurants and vibrant nightlife will create a unique, urban atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the world.

Town Lake & Boardwalk

A 33-acre lake will be a focal point for Trinity Uptown. A large public boardwalk will surround the lake, making it the perfect gathering place for community-wide events.

Higher Learning on the River

In 2009, Tarrant County College opened the doors to its state-of-the-art Trinity River Campus to students. The campus sits along the banks of the Trinity overlooking Trinity Uptown.
