Every time we were heading out of town we would drive by this park. I always wanted to go see what it was all about, but it seemed as though it never worked out. It was either raining or the kids wanted to go to the trails.

FINALLY last weekend we had some beautiful weather and decided to see what it was all about. We were not disappointed.

The kids were fascinated with the wire sculptures that were all around the park. The first one we came to.

There is a path that runs around and through the park.

There is even a little free library. The kids loved this. We even came back later that evening with books to donate. Hannah took a couple she’s reading now.

There is a notebook in the little library that you can draw a picture, write a poem or just leave a message. That’s what Hannah was doing.

Another one of the kids favorite parts was the music area.

There were benches by the music area. How cool is this?

See? Recycling IS important. Thank you, Chick-fil-A.

We found two little snails chilling on a rock.

There really is a whole ecosystem here.

THIS!!!!! There is no typical playground equipment. But that doesn’t mean there is nothing to play on.

Another super cool wire sculpture.

Little surprises in the trees.

I can’t imagine how beautiful the trees will look in the Spring and Summer, but they were still pretty without leaves.

We loved this wire fisherman.

This park opened in March 2018. There is a big pavilion that is used for concerts and can be rented out also.

There are several picnic tables around the park, but there is one designated picnic area. I love the Kansas fence posts that are placed around it.

Just plain good!!!

I cannot wait to go back. It is exactly 10 minutes from our home. Why was I thinking it was so much further???? If you ever come through Longview, I highly suggest taking a break and stopping by The Green. It’s relaxing, informative and just an all around great park. I think it could be my favorite.

I’ll leave you with this.

Namaste,

Stacy
