Old-school style, fun! Imagination can be used here, especially with the wooden atmosphere versus the modern plastics. Nostalgic for myself (even though I didn’t grow up here). There were -many- spider webs though, I won’t lie… But we went before school was out, so perhaps not many kids have been playing on it at that time? There are so many hidden possibilities with the layout, “nooks”, about!! Yet again- spiders. But fun.
Trees! It actually has trees!
The RGV is in need of some tree-loving-planting peeps', so in comparison this park is different than the city norm' of cement and chopped palms. It's a comfortable size park.
I grew up climbing on all these trees, and now my sons are sharing the same. The farm canals that were transformed into a surprise "sunken garden" are alright, have been neglected garden-care wise throughout the years. The landscaping is more of trimming, cutting, not so much nurturing wise, but still better than nothing. I understand things like so cost money.
It's a hot spot for people to do their stair exercises, or for kids to be in awe over the humble water fountain display. The "sunken garden" would be a superb place to play guitar, music, by the design of it, and their miniature stage that is half a water pool.- so keep that in mind for any musician peeps. Also it is a popular place for a money-free, pleasant date, so I've noticed the couples (in a none creepy way, lol).
It's not "Beverly Hills", but for the Valley it's good. They keep the grass mowed well, after establishing the sprinkler usage that was needed. I hope they don't butcher the trees rooted there, the curvy branches are unique and provide shade in unique angles. The play ground is in need of new wood chips, or whatever material they prefer. And the swings need WD40 oil, lol, the squeak can be heard across the bridge, jk! But that is minor stuff. Great area to stroller walk exercise. We enjoy this place, I hope Valley folks will respect it and take care of it by picking up their, or other's, trash.
