Note that it's a jackRABBIT and not a jackALOPE as some local stories tell. The jackrabbit is painted gray, and while one would think it's safe from bad guys, it's been the target of vandalism over the years. It's been shot with an arrow, stolen, and painted several times, including a recent (2014) "blue butt" job by someone from North Forney High School.
The jackrabbit is viewable 24/7, no admission fees.
Price of Admission: 0.00 (listed in local currency)
