Bicentennial Park sits proudly on the southwest corner of the Comanche County Courthouse square in a nest of historic items: an old log courthouse, a locally-famous oak tree, a creepy set of irons in a local limestone boulder, old pillars from a former courthouse, a restored public well that provided water on the square, and a forest of historical markers commemorating Comanche's past.
The park's marker plaque reads as follows:
"BICENTENNIAL PARK
