The Waco Suspension Bridge is located in downtown Waco a few feet from the Waco Convention Center…read more It is filled with a rich history, built in 1870 with cables from John Roebling's, the same company that provided cables to the Brooklyn Bridge. The bridge spans 475-feet, and at one point, was considered the longest single-span suspension bridge west of the Mississippi. The Waco Suspension Bridge is majestic, yet aesthetically pleasing. It now serves as a pedestrian crossing. When you walk out on the bridge, it is peaceful, quiet and serene. Listening to the water meander under the bridge almost puts you in a trance. In addition to the bridge, the steers in the front of the bridge are being renovating...painted and sealed with hot wax.

In my opinion, there could have been more ride operators. Even though some of the rides were running, we had to wait for operators to run another ride, then switch to the one my kid wanted to ride. The train was cute. It smelled like gas exhaust the whole way, but it has a nice big track, and they take them around twice. The putt putt could have used a bit of shade on the yellow course, but it was nice that there were 3 courses. Too bad everyone wanted to play the shady course, so we all had to wait for big parties to finish between holes. This park could use some updating but it's great for small children.

It was a beautiful November afternoon with temps in the low 80's so we took the toddlers to run and…read moreplay in the park. A lot of the playground equipment is out in the sun. There aren't a lot of shady spots. This park isn't the type with lots of picnic tables, benches and pavilions. It's centered mainly around kid play and the kids definitely enjoyed it. In addition to a regular swing set and the set for babies and toddlers they also have swings designed for children with special needs in 2 sizes up to 12 years old. That's pretty wonderful.

This is a decent sized park. Today was my first time there. It is near the post office in Hewitt…read more There is a good sized parking lot by the track as well as bleachers and a frisbee golf course. The walking path is made of concrete and there isn't any large trees. My wife had been there before and said that the creek or ditch appeared filled in. There was some seating that was covered and I noticed quite a few BBQ pits as well. I liked the quantity of picnic tables. It is a good track but not much to see so I enjoyed talking w my wife. Unlike other parks this trail had little to no incline and was easy to walk since it was concrete. That is helpful since I am still recovering from surgery. I would recommend this walking path for people who are perhaps a bit unsteady on their feet like me w surgery or other reasons possibly. The only complaint I might have is the lack of larger trees and that means during summer it would be wise if me to go in earlier or later hours. All in all good park. They have portable potties not permanent ones if that makes a difference to ya!!!

It is separate from the neighboring "Speegleville Park" that has RV campsites. The park is on the west site of Lake Waco and is easily accessible with an unmanned guard station. There are "pay stations" throughout the park where you're expected to pay $5 per vehicle. The park is "day use only" and does not allow overnight parking or camping. There is a boat ramp. More than 50 covered picnic sites, most with charcoal BBQ grills, are in the park. These are available first-come, first-served and I had no problem with the one we would use today at 8:00am. I spotted a playground in one area. There are also restroom facilities throughout which are helpful though primitive. The park is clean from trash and in good condition. A bit better mowing would help but a minor complaint. [Review 834 of 2024 - 589 in Texas - 21865 overall]
