The Clear Creek Bridge once took traffic across Clear Creek on Nicholson Road in Denton County, but it has since been replaced by a concrete bridge and relocated here, used as a foot bridge to take visitors to the soccer fields on the west side of the park. According to Denton County (see URL, #10), the bridge was built by Austin Brothers in 1907, although Bridgehunter gives a year of 1925.

There is plenty of parking here within sight of the bridge, and on less busy days, one can practically pull right up to it for visits.
