Parks in B-CS offer inexpensive wa
for A&M students to enjoy free time
Some children take advantage of the facilities at Anderson Athletic Park in College Station to enjoy a warm afternoon
By Donna Buchala
Reporter
Students often grumble that no
place exists where they can enjoy
themselves without breaking their
already strained budgets, but the
Bryan-College Station area boasts an
abundance of parks — inexpensive,
easy to get to, loads of fun parks.
The city of College Station alone
has 859 acres of park land in 29 dif
ferent parks, says Tony Cisneros, as
sistant director of the College Sta
tion Parks and Recreation
Department.
“The citizens expect a good avail
ability of parks,” Cisneros says.
And the citizens are instrumental
in obtaining park land through bond
elections, he says. People regard
parks as a way of “neighborhood
identification,” he says.
Actually, Cisneros says, neigbor-
hood parks are only one of the two
types of public parks in College Sta
tion; the other type is the commu
nity park.
Neighborhood parks are strictly
designed for day use. They are easily
accessible, by walking distance, to
most people in the area.
Community parks have athletic
fields, restrooms and parking lots,
Cisneros says.
“The variety of parks makes it in
teresting,” he says.
Another type of park also is being
devised in College Station, Cisneros
says. Lick Creek Park is a 515-acre
area southeast of College Station, he
says, which is “untouched" — kept
natural for uses such as nature stud
ies and bird watching.
Three of the community parks in
College Station have swimming
pools — Bee Creek Park, Thomas
Park and Southwood Athletic Cen
ter. The public can swim for S1 per
day at these pools, Cisneros says.
The money for maintenance of
College Station’s parks comes from
the city’s general fund through tax
money collected from the citizens,
he says. The general fund is not
used for expansion, only for upkeep
and general use, he says.
