This park specifically has a large open area that the main drive circles around. The creek runs along the side.

The entrance is on a very short street and you're walking over a bridge. Interesting start to the encounter. The 13 acre park has a one mile long walking track that I enjoyed today but there are other features including two large open multi-use areas, scattered picnic tables, a structure with restrooms (thank you!) and a very neat spaceship-themed playground that looked like fun. Maybe not enough parking for non-locals but if you're in one of the fine homes adjacent to the park, you can just walk over. [Review 16069 overall - 250 in Texas - 1574 of 2021.]

Re: ELLIS County Red Oak Police Department…read more Yesterday, I called the non-emergency hotline to report what I believed was an abandoned car that had been parked in front of my house for three days. An officer came out and informed me that the vehicle belonged to a neighbor. He also stated that they didn't have to move it because it was parked the required distance from the road. When I asked whose car it was, he said he couldn't share that information--which I understand. I had assumed the car was abandoned because it was blocking my driveway and no one had returned to move it in 3 days. While I realize the road is public property, I felt the officer could have at least encouraged the neighbor to be more considerate and move their car as a courtesy. Our road is narrow, and it's difficult to get out of my driveway when cars are parked that way. Since the officer made it clear they didn't have to move the car, I decided to speak with the neighbor myself since this is not acceptable. Fortunately, we were able to resolve the issue directly to have the car moved. Situations like this are exactly why people end up taking matters into their own hands. The interaction with me and my neighbor could have resulted in a situation that could have become volatile. However, this experience left me feeling that calling the police was useless and unhelpful--I don't plan on calling them again. It seems they have quite a few racist complaints but you have to dig for them because they do not allow complaints on google or etc.
