Pretty decent park on campus where they always have events. I'd suggest checking them out constantly, it feels like there's always something happening.

Restoration Park is my go to place to take my dogs for their exercise and for mine. I've been going for several years now and I noticed they have recently been doing some renovations. I always have a great experience when I go. If you have dogs make sure they're on a leash but if they like the outdoors they will love restoration Park.

In the early 90s I would come down from Dallas and spend the summers with my grandmother. She lived near this park and I have so many happy memories playing there with cousins. It's not as kept up and a lot of the jungle gyms and slides are gone but its still recognizable.
