Terry Hershey Park


This is another favorite. Plus it is close to home. It has miles of jogging/bike trails. You can ride all the way over to George Bush on without getting on a city street. There is a small playground, RR and sundial on the north part of the park. On the south side are some hangy bars and a dog water fountain. It is busy on the weekend. I once saw a younger woman on roller blades knock over an old woman who was just walking along. Poor old woman had her back to the girl as they both came down a hill. Gotta be careful on weekends.

Molly Pryor Memorial Orchard


This park is across from Hershey park. You may not even realize it is over there. There are many different types of trees planted. I've walked thru it a couple of times.

George Bush park


George Bush park is a very large park. There are so many interesting places and activities. There are the usual soccer, baseball fields. Some unusual places are an equestrian trail, model airplane area, shooting range to name a few. The Millie Bush (named for 41's dog) Bark Park is the best. We went in just to check it out. We don't even have a dog. There are three ponds for the dogs to play in. There is an area just for small dogs to play. Fake fire hydrants are positioned thru out the park. They even come in different sizes. There are miles of nature trails all over the large area of the park. Not sure if the area at the dam is known as George Bush park, but we like to bring a big piece of cardboard and use it to slide down the hill.

Nottingham Park


This park has had alot of new things added since it became a county park. A walking trail, playground toys, and a splash park are some of the new features. The park also has a frisbee golf course. But the new Splash park is probably the most popular attraction. Buckets of water spill onto children. A water gun, spitting chicken, and fountains of water are other parts of the wet fun.
