Wright Bembry Park



The last park we visited today. It is a very small one (pocket park size). This neighborhood is rapidly changing. On one side of the park was a street with older small homes and on the other side were brand new homes being built. I imagine if we were to return later this year the both blocks will be rebuilt with all new homes.

Halbert Park

Just took photo of sign. We did not walk around this park. It has a basketball court. You can see a couple of people playing in the background. There was also a small playground area. But it doesn't really have a parking area. Another reason we didn't linger.

Proctor Plaza Park


This is a tiny park in a historic Heights neighborhood. There is a covered basketball court that does not have any hoops or backboards. I don't think many people play basketball over here. Several yuppie type families with young children were the only people at the park. It also has a walkway around the park and some tennis courts.

Montie Beach Park

The wet weather has kept us from gnoming. Today is a beautiful day. First stop is Montie Beach park. Not a sign of any type of water so don't know where the beach is. :)
There is a small hill by the playground. John says the park is much improved from the olden days. Today an organized group of men were playing soccer. There is also a baseball field.
A 5/8th mile walking trail goes around the perimeter of the park.

Pocket park 12005 Kimberly



Just a sign and some stakes marking a fence to be installed. It was kinda hard to find. Kimberly dead ends every other block. Easiest way to get there is to turn south at Memorial City Mall. I guess it would have been easier too if we'd used my new Key map.
