The bridge was placed here in 2014, and is now part of a walking trail through the park and the adjoining subdivision. At present, the gate to the park is rarely unlocked, but it is not a problem to park on the FM 1173 shoulder and walk around the fence up to the bridge. The listed parking coordinates are near where the walking trail enters the subdivision.
