This park is described as a limestone plateau that is covered with a number of Juniper and Oak trees. The park is also interspersed with small, semi-open grassland areas. It is mainly used for low density recreational activities such as picnicking and hiking. Offering a natural setting with panoramic views of the city to the east. A neighborhood church uses the park each year for Easter Sunrise Services.

I live in a resort area, but for the life of me, I can't understand, why we don't have a similar park where islanders can go to picnic.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a good question Stan. Every community should have at least one park suitable for picnicking. Of course Austin has many.
