Mornings are best, as the scrub prairie to the south and west can be quite active especially with birdsong. Watered ballfields are favored by Killdeer, American Pipits, sparrow, and Chihuahaun and Western Meadowlarks. The small trees at western ball field almost always has Curve-billed Thrasher, Vermilion Flycatcher and Chipping Sparrows. In winter the fence lines to the south are great for breading and wintering sparrows, Pyrrhuloxia and Green Towhee. The hiking trail all the way to the back of the park boundary where it is bordered by Chihuahua Creek (mostly dry) to look for more brush species. Keep a lookout in winter over head for Golden Eagle, and across prairie for Northern Harrier. And in summer for Swainson's Hawk. Also in the summer, between the park and the intersection of TX-17 and TX-166 is possibly the best place in the county to find Scissor-tailed Flycatcher.
Not very busy usually, Only on special occasions or Fourth of July. This small county park is mostly open area with ball fields and grasslands. A good place for lunch.
1 mile walking trail in the back open field. This will take you to the western fence, where it is bordered by Chihuahua Creek (mostly dry) to look for more brush species.
