Perched along Louisiana Street, a short distance south of FM 518, this lush three-acre park displays a beautiful canopy of Oak trees, which line the area and provide a shaded space for visitors. Chariss York monitors the park for storm water projects and will lead the presentation about the many conservation practices designed into the garden. Many of them can be applied to the home environment.
