The JFK Tribute stands as a memorial to the 35th President of the United States, President John F. Kennedy. Located outside what was once the Texas Hotel, the grounds of the statue sit atop where President Kennedy made his last public speech to thousands of rain-soaked Fort Worthians. The tribute is comprised of an 8-foot-tall bronze statue of the President, sculpted by the late Texas artist Lawrence Ludtke, which is flanked by a 10-foot, bowed granite wall that includes three large photographs and several quotes from John F. Kennedy’s presidential term.

The beautiful Sundance Square Plaza, located in the heart of historic Downtown Fort Worth was once a parkig lot. Now, it's the perfect place to dine, shop and have a cup of coffee as you sit outside under the umbrellas. Named after the Sundance Kid in western folklore, it is a popular place for nightlife and entertainment in Fort Worth. A mural on one building commemorates the Fort Worth segment of the Chisholm Trail cattle drives of 1867-1875. The district is also the location of the Bass Performance Hall.

The Tarrant County Courthouse was designed by the architecture firm of Frederick C. Gunn and Louis Curtiss and built by the Probst Construction Company of Chicago, 1893–1895. It is a pink Texas granite building in Renaissance Revival style, closely resembling the Texas State Capitol with the exception of the clock tower. The cost was $408,840 and citizens considered it such a public extravagance that a new County Commissioners' Court was elected in 1894.

Panther Island is a scenic venue on the Trinity River with the beautiful downtown Fort Worth skyline as a backdrop. The venue provides multiple stages including the only waterfront stage in Texas and an indoor stage in The Shack, a 10,000 square foot building on site. The venue caters to a wide variety of public events such as concerts, festivals, runs, bike rides, and more! In addition to hosting events, Panther Island Pavilion offers a sandy beach that provides public access to the river seven days a week for paddling, tubing, fishing, and swimming. The name “Panther Island” is a tribute to Fort Worth’s longtime nickname, “Panther City”. Back in 1875, the Dallas Daily Herald had mocked that the Trinity River had overflowed and driven a panther up the bluff into Downtown to wander “at his own sweet will through the streets.” In response, city leaders embraced the panther as a symbol of strength, nicknaming Fort Worth “Panther City.”
