Arcadia Park Disc Golf Course

Arcadia Park's disc golf course sits in the chain of linear parks that follow Whites Branch Creek through far north Fort Worth, north of Basswood Boulevard and east of I-35W. The city assembled the land in pieces: Arcadia Trail Park, 69.1 acres, was acquired in 1990 and named for the adjacent street and subdivision, and City Council funded its first improvements — sidewalks, tennis courts, a shelter, a nature trail and bridges — in 1994. Arcadia Trail Park North, 177.2 acres running nearly four miles, came together the same decade through parkland dedications as the surrounding neighborhoods were built. The city's own description of the north park is where disc golf shows up in the record: past the wetlands mitigation area, paved trails lead to pavilions, tennis courts and a wildflower meadow, and there are "areas maintained for frisbee golf" and free-play soccer.

The 18 mapped holes run about three quarters of a mile north to south along the creek, alternating between tree lines and open mowed ground, with roughly 18 feet of elevation change end to end by USGS measurement. It plays flat and technical rather than long and hilly. Par and total length aren't published by the city, so we've left both blank rather than guess. The park is free and public, open 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, with alcohol prohibited. One thing to know before you go: Fort Worth Park & Recreation is planning a renovation of this course and held a public input meeting in April 2026, so the layout you find may not be the one that lasts.
