Baytown’s Hidden Splash Gem: Jenkins Park Splash Pad, TX

on
I have it on good authority that the splash pad at Jenkins Park in Baytown has everything you need for a great, fun-in-the-sun outing. It features a playful marsh theme with spraying oversized cattails, frogs, snakes, butterflies, a dumping bucket, arches, and even an alligator slide. Several covered picnic tables sit right next to the spray grounds and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We absolutely loved it here, and we think you will too!

After Hurricane Ike Wrecked Galveston Island In 2008, Local Artists Turned Tree Stumps Into Beautiful Sculptures

on

After Hurricane Ike hit Galveston Island in 2008, there was little left intact plus there was a major impact on woody plants. A year later, the city agreed to turn dead trees into pelicans, dolphins and musical instruments.
Since then local artists have been transforming a historical part of the island, making elaborate sculptures to adorn many front yards. Nowadays, this tree art takes on a new meaning as a declaration of resilience and a wholeness with nature.
