Parks & Nature
This park is only .8 miles away. It is literally down the road from my home. It is the oldest park in Texas & the 2nd oldest in the entire nation!
It's small [approx 46 acres] but i find it very pretty & i often walk or jog down there & around the park.
During the summer the pool is open. This pool is surrounded by tall Cypress trees & is a spring-fed pool. Also... it's free. The pool is only open between June & August.
There are picnic tables & a few barbecue pits. No reservations needed.
