Adjacent in connection to Bee Creek Park, this Arboretum contains several walking trails which…read moreconnect to Longmire Court and Texas Avenue. If you want to venture off the path, you'll find the creek here with some land area to get an overview of the water. The landscaping done for it is well-kept. The trails are also well-kept although don't be surprised if you find some debris and trash floating around on the grounds and the trail. Seems like it's gotten worse over the past few years. It's a shame as this area provides lovely views during nature walks when the sun is out and the breeze is blowing at a lovely pace. In addition, there is a playground and a softball/baseball diamond tucked here. You'll hear the sounds of bats connecting with balls and kids shouting since baseball games are played here often.

But I think it's lovely and I also use the bike route through the greenway to get to campus. If I had one main critique it's that I would like to see the trails cleaned up more often, the overgrowth has been an issue with the weird rain spell this year.

There's a nice peaceful path that goes along the park and stream and you can wrap around into the neighborhood to make a full roundtrip. Overall, peaceful little trail and pet friendly too. Lots of benches and even little book stations. Just can't stand when people don't pickup after their pets poop. I jogged here and it was approximately under 2 miles. Located across Blinn College on East Villa Maria.

The dog park here is fairly large, and fenced in. It's in a good neighborhood. You can take your…read moredog off the leash and let them run around freely. The people at this park are great, and theres always new doggie friends coming and going. However, there are a few things that I do not like about this park. First, there is no shade on the inside of the park to hide under while your pup plays. Second, there are two drainage ditches in the park at both entrances, which are very smelly and dirty. Finally, sense there is no shade and the smelly water and muddy parts are cool the dogs love laying in them and muddy holes they dig. But, sense there is a hose and drinking fountain right outside the fenced area you can rinse your dog off before you leave, and they won't be stinky for the ride home! There is also a walking trail around the park to take a stroll while your pup dries. Overall, I like it, and my dog likes it. Just go early or later in the afternoon to stay out of the heat of the day.

This was the first time that I have been to the memorial. It was very touching how each pillar around the circle has information about each of the 12 students that were lost on that day. I felt that I learned more about each individual and it was a touching way to honor them by capturing them as individuals. There was a marker in the center of the circle with the date and time of the bonfire collapse. Coming into the memorial there is quotes and a poem at the entrance and you reach the monument by following a long gravel pathway until you reach the circular portion of the memorial. Overall was a very touching and moving way to pay tribute to those lost in the tragedy.

I remember this incident when it occurred all those years ago. It's a very somber experience as you walk up the path to the place where the tragedy happened. There are three parts to this memorial: Tradition Plaza, the History Walk, and the Spirit Ring. Everything about this memorial is very intentional. The number of stones used, the number and positioning of the lights, the position of the portals, etc. all have meaning. I regret not reading the pamphlet before walking through the memorial. I actually wasn't sure if we could or should walk in the middle of the Spirit Ring, but there is a granite marker in the middle that indicates the exact spot of the last Bonfire Centerpole. The intentionality and representation would have been a lot more clear if I had read it when we first arrived. Each portal represents one of the students who perished that night. The portals face the direction of the respective student's hometown. Each portal has a portrait of the student and a written reflection. The majority of the students were only 18 or 19 years old. We toured the memorial later in the afternoon so the lights were barely visible. This memorial is very pretty at night, so I would recommend timing your visit after dusk. There's a parking lot right near the memorial and it's free, however it wasn't clear if a permit was needed. We had no trouble with parking on a Saturday, but double check the signage to be safe.
