The Village at Cumberland Park â A Quick Review with a Story About a Lot of Cars
If youâve ever wondered where all the cars in East Texas go on a Saturday afternoon, look no further than The Village at Cumberland Park. Itâs not just a shopping centerâitâs a traffic-themed adventure park with bonus retail therapy.
So hereâs the story:

But the moment I turned into the lot, I realized I wasnât aloneâthere were cars circling like buzzards, people stalking shoppers heading to their vehicles, and one poor guy trying to back out for what looked like 14 minutes straight while everyone just watched.

This massive outdoor shopping center has everything from a kids park to just about anything you could need from a shopping mall. They are growing as I write this and will only get bigger and better. You can shop, catch a movie, dine, or even grab a hotel room. The parking is nice, all of the stores are newer and clean and they have all of the great shopping stores you want to find in a mall. Itâs easy to navigate.
There are local law enforcement officers always nearby and you feel safe and comfortable in the area.
Come and shop and enjoy...

There are a lot of nice stores to do shopping, even Zale's if you are thinking about your better half...
