Some info on it from the website:…read more "Located at the corner of North Arthur Street and Brown Street, Louida "Big Mama" Willis Park, is an approx. 3/4 acre park with playground, sand box, swing set, picnic tables, benches, portable latrines, and trash receptacles. It's a quiet little park that is perfect for letting the kids play and having a picnic." Super cute, very well maintained, and in a very low traffic nook of a neighborhood. We've lived in the area for six years and had no idea this was here. What a hidden jewel!

I think if I was next to the park, I probably wouldn't appreciate it. The main feature here is the disc golf course but it has a lot of trees along the way that would definitely make it a challenge. Otherwise, there are a few picnic tables here and there near the parking lot. There is no playground. It's a nice spot to bring lunch to eat outdoors but otherwise skip.

Starting w/ the rubber ground and astroturf, wih some give, it's less likely to have an injury. They have lots of things for "little's" to do, including interactive games for even the smallest of kids. There's the typical swing sets, slides, and two versions of merry-go-rounds, that are WAY safer than what most of us grew up with! The two ziplines are pretty cool, and toddler + accessable! There is also a nice shaded area for picnics, or adults to sit under. This place is fantastic! 5 STARS

We came in November, so the weather was really cool and comfortable. However, it had rained heavily the night before and the area where the fossils are was a mud pit.

This sprawling park has paved trails with inner and outer loops spanning about three miles, plus loads of other amenities, including tennis courts, volleyball nets, a catch-and-release fishing pond, gazebos, and the well-crafted Eureka playground. There were already dozens of joggers, dog walkers, and parents with toddlers out and about at South Lakes by late Saturday morning in January, when the temperature had just nudged up to 50 degrees. Its convenient and safe, and I plan to be back often.

I actually came close to a prairie dog which I thought was a groundhog but I ran, (ironically I'm born on groundhog's day; does that even mean anything? lol). There is a posting not to feed them because they can get sick. I think someone must have fed one of them because he was lying pretty much lifeless in the grass. Po thang! There's lots of camping areas, group picnic sites, a boat ramp, disc golf, walking trails (um negative for me), equestrian camping, a dining hall, swimming area, fishing pier, parking everywhere and lots of BUGS!!!!

In not wanting to be creepy about it, I decided to simply check-in on Yelp and not get out. Make sense?! From inside my vehicle, the grounds seemed well-kept and clean. Looks like pickle ball and horseshoes are offered and have dedicated areas for both those activities. Everyone also appeared to be enjoying themselves. If you have a family with progeny, I highly suggest making a day trip to this particular city park. You might enjoy yourself like everyone else seemed to be doing.

The only drawback is I had to rent a campsite for the day in order to get a fire blazing. Kind of sucked since I wasn't planning on spending the night. Oh well! It was all still worth it as I supported nature and TPWD. The hiking trails were challenging and invigorating. Thankfully they were also very clearly marked. They were a challenge with all the natural rock and rock cliffs. Penitentiary Hollow was the main attraction of the hike. Wow, Lake Mineral Wells rocks with awesomeness! Please camp here!
