hen STEPHANIE LYNCH and her family moved to Texas, they wanted to live in Fort Worth’s TCU-area Tanglewood neighborhood so much that they were willing to wait. “We rented for a year because there were no houses on the market,” Lynch shares. “We actually got the house we bought by putting letters in lots of mailboxes!” Lynch and husband Kevin share Brooks, 12, Ashton, 11, Case, 8, Banks, 6, and Berkley, 5. Lynch just launched a shaved ice business—they love snow cones—called RODEO SNO (@rodeosno). Family eats: YOGI’S DELI & GRILL has the best pancakes, French toast, omelets and bagels. And CHARLEY’S OLD FASHIONED HAMBURGERS. There’s a green space with games and things to climb on. Yogi’s Deli & Grill, 2710 S. Hulen St., Fort Worth; 817/921-4500, yogisdeliandgrill.com. Charley’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers, 4616 Granbury Road, Fort Worth; 817/924-8611, facebook.com/charleysoldfashionedhamburgers. Best park: DREAM PARK, hands down! My kids love the zip line, roll slides, the big castle structure, and of course the swings. OVERTON PARK is the heart of Tanglewood. The kids can ride bikes on the trail, hit the playground, run around on the green space, play basketball or just explore. Dream Park, 2001 University Drive, Fort Worth; 817/392-5700, dreamparkfw. org. Overton Park, 3500 Overton Park Drive E., Fort Worth; 817/392-5700, fortworthtexas.gov. Favorite family outing: AIRFIELD FALLS. It is by the Naval Air Station. You walk down this unassuming path and then out opens this amazing water hole. The littles can splash around super-shallow water while big kids climb the falls, explore cool rocks, or float around. 200 Pumphrey Drive, Westworth Village; trinitytrailsfw.com/airfieldfalls. Other spots for cooling down: We frequent COLONIAL POOL and FORT WORTH ZOO'S SAFARI SPLASH. Colonial Country Club, 3735 Country Club Circle, Fort Worth; 817/9274200, colonialfw.com. Fort Worth Zoo Safari Splash, 1989 Colonial Parkway, Fort Worth; 817/759-7555, fortworthzoo.org/safari-splash. Self-care: I play tennis with friends on the OVERTON TENNIS COURTS. And having SORT THE FORT come over and organize your closet and your life is very recharging. Overton tennis courts, 3500 Overton Park O N Drive, Fort Worth; 817/795-4015, fortworthtennis.com. Sort the Fort; 817/896-9677, facebook.com/sortthefort. Get active: Half the family runs, and the TANGLEWOOD TRAILS are great. My husband does an F3 BOOTCAMP workout almost every morning at Overton Park or TCU. Tanglewood trails, fortworth.com/activefortworth/trails. F3 workout, multiple locations; 205/568-0282; f3dfw.com. Why Tanglewood is great for families: Tanglewood is very much a front-yard community, where families congregate together, take care of one another and choose to live here because of the community feel.
