Wow, Park West is looking good this year! The landscapers have wrapped one tree in every yard - all you have to do is to run an extension cord to light them up.

The creek was pretty wild earlier this month. If you didn't get to see it, the creek flooded and force authorities to close FM 1826. The park was flooded and the creek backedup at the Escarpment bridge. A lot of people stopped to check out the rushing water!!

The water has damaged a lot of the park hiking trails. It will probably not get repaired until next summer. You will still be able to hike in the park, but you can count on getting pretty muddy, if not wet, at some point.


The Prop 2 land next to the park may get some new trails built early next year. The city has about $140,000 to get started on the trails. However, don't expect access from Circle C Ranch or from the Circle C Metro Park. Instead, they will probably only allow access from FM 1826, where it crosses Slaughter Creek. The trails will be for Hiking and Biking, as well as horseback ridding!

Enjoy the cool weather. Next Spring should be more fun than ever for those of you who enjoy the parks.
