Wolf Pen Creek Park — Attraction in College Station

This is not just your everyday meandering trail by the creek for it is an opportunity to take in some rare wildlife, fauna and fresh air while educating yourself with some fun facts as you stroll. Plenty of benches, water fountains and chances to leave the trail for a more adventurous, rewarding, and lasting memory of college station await you. Simply step between the ferns for a kiss under the mistletoe before daring to go over the embankment to another world of seclusion, privacy and the sound of babbling brooks. Keep your eyes peeled and your ears perked for you may see beavers, otters, or even a rare gecko from the Indi's or hear the hoot of an owl at dusk. Perhaps, if you wish upon a Lone Star you could get a glimpse of a rarely viewed and secretive...

This is a large park that you wouldn’t expect to find near Texas A&M but it offers trails for walking your dog or just getting away from the stress of College. A few times in the year they will have events here (one of my favorites is Worldfest). There are plenty of trees for hammocking but also plenty of open area if you want to throw a frisbee or play fetch with your dog. I have seen kids bring large pieces of cardboard to slide down the slope they have in front of the amphitheater in what appears to be Texas’s answer to sledding down a snowy slope.

Overall this is a nice park to get away from the hustle and bustle of College Station. While not totally away from shops and apartments, the park does offer one breathing room and a sense...

Park is simple, but beautiful. If you’re looking for a decent sized, but clean playground or a trail to walk or exercise, this is it. I’m sure theres more to this area, but when my wife and I came, this place was already closed. It does appear to have tickets for perhaps an event or small exhibition. Not sure, but the trail and parking lot is open. There are of course, nicer parks, but this is pretty peaceful. It doesn’t have a basketball court or anything like that, just a playground for kids, lots of field, and building structures. Lots of trees and along a stream.

There are restrooms available, but it might be closed depending on the hours....
