There were several park structures near the pavilion, from swings, slides, spider web jungle gyms. There were two buildings near that I believe you could rent out for parties. Bathrooms are a stones throw and were air conditioned and clean. We could see the skate park from where we were along with additional play areas, across the street you can see the splash pad. There is "story walk" trail you can take that leads to or from the Library situated at the top of the hill. Definitely take a stop at the carousal if it's open it's only a dollar a person to ride, and really quite a splendor to oh and ah over. Tons of shade, great place for a picnic, and to get some energy out. Can't wait to visit again with my family.

I would recommend to go if you are attending Baylor college just so you can see a bit of history of where the school originated.. It also gives you a great viewing of what started out as a woman's only college. Fun fact I didn't know so I definitely learned something new. We stopped by here after coming from the antique rose Emporium and right before going to to Brenham. I wouldn't say it was a complete waste of time! The trees that have grown there are absolutely amazing and beautiful.. Many of which I have seen in San Antonio and other parks around Houston. Cool pictures if you are also graduating from Baylor too!

This trail had more of a canopy than you'd expect and some cool trees with Spanish moss hanging on them. We'd come back.

May was our month to come together and celebrate family and food (lots of food) and get reacquainted. Unfortunately, for years, Henderson Park didn't receive the maintenance needed to make it plausible to continue having reunions here anymore, but I was shocked to see the upgrades to Henderson on a recent visit to Brenham. Lots of tlc has been poured into this park to revitalize it. In fact, I didn't even know how much history was apart of the park until I read the newly installed landmark signage that designates Henderson as a Lone Star Legacy Park, the highest honor that a park can receive according to the Texas Recreational and Parks Society. The designation was received in 2022, but the park is actually older than Fireman's Park across the street, which received the Lone Star Legacy Park honor in 2014. I'm just glad that this historical landmark has been restored and rejuvenated with a new venue with AC, which is a great update because my family use to place screens on the windows and run fans when we used Henderson back in the day. You'll also enjoy a bbq pit on the premises as well as a covered partition with picnic style benches as well as playgrounds, basketball courts and a baseball field which has a extraordinary place in history because Henderson (which was the park designated for African Americans during segregation) gave the Negro Leagues (and that is what they were called, so I am not going to change history here) a place and space to play. I am so glad that the baseball park remains a vital part of the park as well as the addition of a waterpark around the entryway to Henderson. Spacious and attractive, a day at Henderson provides some relaxation, relief, and literally a breath of fresh air if you visit. I'm excited to bring the family back together post covid to relaunch our reunions at Henderson in the near future, but I give pause and recognize how great it is that history still holds a special place in people's hearts and minds. Henderson Park will forever be a part of history. Let us not only celebrate it but cherish its presence and preservation to keep history alive in our community.
