The self-guided nature tour is up and running. Start the tour on the Shelterwood side of the park at the trail head near the information kiosk. Instruction sheet and map of the Wireless Wilderness nature tour are available at the kiosk.
You can review articles about the Wireless Wilderness nature tour in the Newsletters section of our website.
We also have a Suggested Reading booklist for your summer reading fun. Was that a Monarch or a Queen Butterfly you saw in the park? These field guides and books can help you answer this question!
Three new park benches are installed at various locations throughout the park. Friends of West 11th Street Park would like to thank the Houston Parks Department for their help in completing this project.
Supported by a grant from the Texas Forest Service.
