Veterans Park and Athletic Complex — Attraction in College Station

I was extremely overweight and unmoved at the thought of ever being anything more then I already was.... My vehicle drifted into the parking lot of Veterans and the curiosity of what lay on the other side of that tree line seem to call out. So I parked and began an evening stroll....
