We really appreciate that they host so many different activities out here. The farmers market is always fun to go walk through and support. Having the concerts in the park here in the summer is also great. It's so good to see the local arts being supported.

This is one of the few places to take younger children to in or around the Midland/Odessa area. It is fairly inexpensive but I wish there was a little more to do here with more interavtice things. Many of the features didnt work and most of the place is outdated.
