Amazing experience and good food. Abit overpriced but you are paying for a great experience. There was a guy at the pit doing a great job explaining how they care for their food. Public parking 12 dollars across the restaurant on afriday Night.

December 2025 So many great views of the city, nice paved trails, and a wonderful playground for the kids. Such a great way to take a stroll in the evening leading up to sunset.

Beautiful walking park with a great pond to watch the ducks & turtles. There's a great playground for kids, fields to play outdoor sports and great walking trails. Park is dog friendly.

Hidden Gem 💎 Hidden in plain sight! Butler Metro Park is a great place to see the city. Very spacious and hugs the river. Pro Tip: This is a great place to park if you want to go to Terry Blacks, Parmer Event Center, and Long Horn Center. 10/10 Trees 🌳
