The Veterans Park Memorial. |

A play area for kids with a sign with some rules, #2
being "NO GOLFING ALLOWED IN PARK" with #5 being
"CAUTION: DISC/FRISBEE GOLF IN AREA". |
|||
On the day these photos were taken volunteers were busy sprucing up the Texas Wildscape. | |||
A compost area with detailed instructions and examples of how to properly compost. | |||
A sign detailing the contributions of the Wildscape instigator, Molly Hollar. We believe we saw Molly among the volunteers. | |||
The entry to Texas Wildscapes Wildlife Habitat Demonstration Site. | |||
You can't really tell it from this photo, but this bench overlooks trails below. That fence is there because it is a steep slope, not quite a cliff, but close. | |||
Now we are down below the above bench. | |||
The Wildscape leads to a more formal type garden. We are looking at an elaborate wooden deck here with benches. A very pleasant spot. But don't haul your laptop here for a peaceful lunch. No wi-fi access yet. | |||
The path is a wooden boardwalk in areas that can fill with water. | |||
The paved path heading under a vegetation covered arbor. | |||
The paved trail heading north towards Arkansas Lane. | |||
In the foreground we are looking at one of the 'holes' that the disc golfers are aiming at. | |||
A sign for the Disc Golfers showing them the course layout and info about disc golf tournaments. If that is the type information you are seeking go here. | |||
At each of the disc golf tee off locations there is a sign, like this one for Hole #5, showing the golfer where the 'hole' is located. You see a lot of golfers searching for their discs, just like the other type of golfers (who are banned from this park) looking for a golf ball that didn't go where they wanted it to. | |||
One more look at a disc golf hole before we leave Veterans Park. This hole is located in the more rugged, hilly part of the park. | |||
