Lots to offer, not many people

Train Crossing
Watch out for trains at the train crossing, and be sure to wave to the kids as they pass by.

Comments: For a multi-use park, there weren't a lot of people here. Even the hike and bike trail provided a bit of solitude in places. This park could easily handle several times the number. Maybe they're planning on Williamson County growing lots more.

On the nature trail portion of the park I didn't see or hear another person at all. The nature trail features a soft mulch surface throughout its length, making it easy on the feet.
