The one noticeable thing that stands out here is the outdoor gym equipment next to the basketball hoop. There's about a half acre of green space directly behind the park and you can see the lake in the near distance through the trees. This green space seems to be used as an impromptu softball field. It should be noted that there is no boat ramp here, nor any public bathrooms. It does have a small rocky parking lot for about 10 cars.

There are tons of little stacks of rocks, art and other things. It's very calm and peaceful. If we had more time we would have gone up the way but we wanted to see more of the area this time. Parking was easy and next to lots of other businesses. The only downside was the gross bathroom. I wish they'd take more time to make sure they're clean. Otherwise I'll be back again to see more.

I'll bet we ended up staying for at least two hours. The funky and eclectic outdoor art was an unexpected surprise for sure, and it was cool! Love it when cities and towns allow and promote stuff like this. The rocks and water were our main highlight, as we explored and rock-hopped all over the place. Had it been warmer, we would have taken off shoes and waded across to the strip of land in the middle of the river. But the water was freezing and we didn't. :) I've driven by the area when it's warmer / hotter out and it's clearly a popular area for kids of all ages, including teens. The dam and old metal truss bridge add a lot of character to the area. Just a really cool spot overall. There are also a couple of picnic tables and public restrooms (not just port-a-potties) that weren't as filthy as expected. Much to my amazement and satisfaction, I could take my little girl to the men's room and sit her on the toilet without... well, without bailing out completely and finding another toilet! (hahahaha) We'll definitely seek this spot out again.

This park has all the amenities you could hope for such as covered picnic areas, public bathrooms, and a panoramic lake view. There's also a play area for the kids and a grill at almost every table. The property has quite a few shade trees, but it could use a few more. It does have one boat dock and a small fishing pier. The one feature that probably most readers are wondering about is if it has a boat ramp. Yes it does have a single boat ramp accessible to the lake and there is a fee. There is a boat launch payment kiosk located next to the ramp which will print out your daily pass. The park has no fixed parking lot so you'll just have to park next to the road either on the grass or gravel. Definitely a great spot for a family picnic or to go fishing. Plenty of informative photos included.

However, the flagpole is still surrounded by a grassy area with a stone path around its perimeter. This square property is less than half an acre and boasts of amenities, such as a large gazebo, picnic tables, benches, and public bathrooms. This park was known as Johnson City Park, but is now known as Memorial Park. It sits flanked on all sides by local businesses, including a brewpub directly next-door. A nice asset to the city center.

Wow, this is a hidden gem. It is genuinely an "international" sculpture park. In 1976, a local…read moresculptor invited 26 sculptors from 6 different countries to Liberty Hill, where they worked for 2 months and created giant statues for the park. It was originally located downtown but was eventually vandalized (gross). It was subsequently moved to the Lions Foundation Park. It can be accessed through there (355 Loop 332) or through Louine Noble Elementary School (101 Loop 332). There is ample parking on either side. This is a great spot for parents to take young kids. It's a big area with lots of art pieces (26 as previously mentioned). Kids have lots of space to run around and interact with the art, if they'd like (just watch your little ones carefully as they can obviously bump their heads). There is a little tree grove nearby for shade. Plenty of beautiful wildflowers. Last but not least, there's even a public playground. There's a private playground just for the school that's fenced off but there is another one that's accessible (slides, swings, etc.). There is some sort of local museum located in the Lions Foundation Park. We didn't get to see it since it was closed on Sunday. They also host some sort of sculpture festival here (October 10, 2026). Anyway, awesome (free) spot. Highly recommended for parents or anyone who loves sculpture (a lot of interesting pieces here).
