Spanning 232 acres, Paul D. Rushing Park offers over 2 miles of asphalt trails leading into and over wooden bridges and pathways showcasing teeming wetlands, as well as six bird blinds for birders who wish to add more bird sightings to their lists without disturbing any birds who may be residing in or visiting the park’s shallow lakes. Amenities include: baseball/softball fields, a dog park, lakes, a picnic area, a pavilion, and cricket fields. The park was named for well-renowned engineer Paul D. Rushing, Texas A&M graduate who created many infrastructure projects throughout our region.
