This property belongs to the city of Mineral Wells and was once a park but it wasn't maintained and with the lean years it became abandoned, overgrown and a place for illegal activity.
Several years ago a group called Texas Frontier Trails formed to help preserve and maintain the history of Palo Pinto County. This group leased the land with the good faith to improve it which they have. The idea was to create an amphitheater having live dramas telling the stories of the Goodnight-Loving cattle drives that took place in our region. That is still the dream but there hasn't been enough funding to create the vision just yet. In the meantime some walking and biking trails have been created to keep the park visible to the public.
There are some wooden benches that were hand made and donated by supporters of Texas Frontier Trails that are along the trails for people to sit.
There is a rock stairway that is so cool.
My walk back to the parking area. I had a great time.
Have a good one!
