Eclectic Menagerie Park — Attraction in Houston

A gem that's literally easy to pass up. If you're headed south on the 288 feeder (or turned onto it from Bellfort), there is a long paved notch of concrete on the right, immediately after the curb ends. You can park there with your blinkers on.

Everytime I ride by I always say I wanna take pics, so I rode into the actual business to ask, and a helpful employee explained why we did not need, nor try finding how to get thru the steel yard for access to the sculptures. PLEASE don't go into the steel yard SAFETY 1st, I Repeat PLEASE don't go into the steel...
