Wisner Boulevard between Robert E. Lee and Harrison is not the most heavily trafficked section of the Park these days since the Wisner I-610 Overpass has been removed. If you do travel down Wisner, however, you’ll notice that large crepe myrtles were planted in the neutral ground this week.

Keeping the Oak Trees Safe

With grant funding, bollards are being installed on the south side of Harrison Avenue between Wisner and the roundabout. The bollards will protect adjacent oaks by keeping cars from parking on top of the tree roots.

Each morning promises a show in City Park

Each morning is different in City Park. Some mornings bring sunbeams through the trees and others crepe myrtle flowers gathering at your feet. Whether there's frost, fog, lots of clouds, or lots of sun - in those differences is true beauty. Each day has its own feeling. We invite you to visit soon. There's no time like the present.

My name is Geneva and I am your guest blogger today! I started working at the Park a month ago as the new Major Gifts and Planned Giving Officer but have spent much of my last 12 years, in the city, enjoying all the Park has to offer.
