A WALK IN THE PARK

Fountains, Towering trees, beautiful architecture, bridges; yes, a walk in Shanley Park is beautiful in the springtime!
My family and I recently enjoyed a sunny day picnic in the park. We enjoyed visiting with an artisan who was carving wooden Santa’s and collectibles as she drew inspiration from nature. The children enjoyed watching the water in Lambert Branch Creek, catching glimpses of little fish and turtles sunning on a log. We walked on down the Moments in Time Hike & Bike Trail to find a grandfather teaching his granddaughter to ride her bicycle without the training wheels! This trail is dedicated to the history of Granbury and the markers are so interesting to read. It was nice to pay honor the Jim Burks memorial for firefighters as the children played on the fire engine playground. On our way back, we noticed a father and son meandering down the creek in their canoe. The bridges make a wonderful backdrop for family photos!

Granbury is home to many wonderful parks and recreational areas. City Beach Park offers a day at the beach! Hewlett Park offers a wonderful pavilion and playground. Don’t forget Granbury City Park with the wooden play yard, ball fields, swimming pool and pavilion.

Yes, Granbury is a wonderful place to live, work and play!
