Reverchon honored as Lone Star Legacy Park

Reverchon Park has been designated a Lone Star Legacy Park by the Texas Recreation and Parks Society (TRAPS), one of only six  Texas parks to receive the honor.

A Lone Star Legacy Park is classified as a park that holds special prominence in the local community and in the state of Texas. To qualify for consideration, the park must have endured the test of time and become iconic to those who have visited, played and rested on its grounds. Nominated parks must be at least 50 years old and meet at least one of the following criteria:

• The property represents distinctive design and/or construction.
• The park is associated with historic events or sites.
• The park is associated with events specific to the local community/state.
• The park is home to unique natural features.

“Reverchon reflects a long and proud heritage,” said Park and Recreation Director Willis Winters. “In the midst of a busy urban setting, with rushing traffic and high-rise office buildings and residential complexes nearby, this historic park serves as an oasis for baseball games, family outings and other recreational activities and events.”
