This is a little park in a small green space, established in the early 2000s and updated in 2021. The centerpiece is the playground, with all kinds of recreation including swings, a merry go round, slides, a jungle gym, and even some turf to help cut back on injuries. Much of the equipment is covered in order to provide shelter from the hot Texas sun, and along with the benches there's a picnic table and grill at the back of the park.

There's a concrete trail that goes north of the park across Timber Creek into suburbia, as well as a dirt hiking trail that goes into the woods. It's not a lengthy walk by any means, but it does provide some nice views and a good look at the creek. Do pay attention where you walk, as this is prime real estate for copperheads and cottonmouths who would rather be doing their thing instead of interacting with you.

Coordinates are taken just outside the parking area between the street and park. There are a few places to park, but be careful of vehicles going back and forth.
