Hackberry Park — Attraction in Houston

Hackberry Park is a wonderful park for a myriad of reasons. It is adjacent to my subdivision, it is quite and aesthetically pleasing, it has water and loads of wildlife and it was created from an abandoned golf course. The City of Houston has done a wonderful thing with this park. There was a time when I thought that flooding was an issue.
