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!

Granbury’s Brazos Drive-in on list of TEXAS’ endangered places.

The nonprofit Preservation Texas Inc. recently listed seven places in Texas as endangered places. Among those listed is the Brazos Drive-In in Granbury. A landmark in the area that first opened in 1952, it is now only one of only 12 drive-in theaters still in operation
in Texas. When it opened in the 1950’s on Hwy. 377, now W. Pearl St., there were about 400 drive-in theaters in Texas. It seemed there was one in most every town of any size and some had multiple screens.



Since 2004 Preservation Texas has been releasing a list of endangered historic places.
One purpose of releasing the list to bring attention to various historic places, many of which are in need of repair and which may lack the funding or support to make those needed repairs.

In addition to the Brazos Drive-In, this years list included Herff Farm in Boerne; Old Llano County Jail; the Swenson Swimming Pool and Bathhouse in Spur, the San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site in La Porte; the Austin Women’s Club in Austin: and downtown Austin’s historic assets.

The Swenson Swimming Pool and Bathhouse in Spur has been a popular spot since 1937, but leaks last summer forced it to close after only a few weeks. The Herff Farm, which is a part of the Cibolo Nature Center, is a two-story limestone farm home built in 1883, but needs substantial repairs before being opened to the public.

Let’s hope that these historic and unique places that are part of our Texas Heritage can be saved. And if you are in Granbury check out the Brazos Drive-In on evening.
