Texas A&M University Research Park — Attraction in College Station

FINALLY found this place. Not unlike some others who've left reviews, pure grass and cement is all we could find when we tried a month ago. Found there's another Google page to find the map/park more precisely, but those using this one, when turning off Raymond Stotzer Hwy (60) onto Research, immediately on the right, there's brick signage "Smart Park", and immediately following, turn right and voila, arrived. Such a gracious expanse to stroll, run and play with pups, play disc golf, watch crane and mallards wonder if we've brought food (please know, bread is really not good for them) and enjoy the scenery. So very grateful for the ample trash receptacles. Pups are trained to pick up trash, and certainty appreciated I could toss it in just a few feet. Not to say the place is loaded with trash, by no means, the A&M crew were busy even on a holiday weekend, getting what they could see. Definitely glad we eventually found this place, pups had the best time since moving to BCS...

Travelled 55 miles to try this course. T boxes not numbered. Baskets not numbered. Impossible to play without guidance. Very few people playing on a Saturday morning... not a good sign. Played 7 baskets (-2) couldn't figure out where to go from there. T-box 8 (one of few marked) had no apparent basket and the empty t-post seemed to be leading toward the road. Finally found someone who let me join him and his dog for a round. Turns out to be...

Only 18 hole disc golf course in town. A fairly challenging course with lots of water hazard. The disc golf course is very frequently used but neglected by TAMU maintenance.

The park itself is scenic and has mnny ducks, turtles, fish, and even very elusive beavers. Again the park isn't well cared for but still a very nice quiet place for a walk.

Many people allow their dogs off leash...
