Tavolo Park in southwest Fort Worth, Texas, is a lovely neighborhood on a sprawling 468-acre Tarrant County ranch. It offers parks, walking trails and gardens, with a grocery store and shops included. It is a beautiful setting for Stevenson Oaks, an MRC-sponsored senior living community.

In the mood for gadding about? Benbrook Lake is just to the west – an ideal destination for picnicking, fishing and boating. And downtown Fort Worth is a mere 10 miles north via the new Chisolm Trail Parkway. In the city, you can chow down at world-class eateries and watering holes, soak up culture and tire the great-grandkids with family-friendly action.
