The parks building at Freindway Park is also used as city hall, but here at City Park, no enclosed building, NO SIGN, except to clean up after your animals, and a City logo and Lions logo on the pavilion.

There is no sign of any kind about this park. A local citizen told me it was "City Park", and about the brand new one on the other side of town.

The huge pavilion has the City Logo and the Lions logo on the west side of the roof nearest the highway. Also inside this pavilion are boards with In Memory Of
Not clear whether Lions Club loses, or city loses.

Also in this park is the NEW water tower, with the city name and High School mascot name painted in blue.
