A stone and timber fence is going up along Grand.


One of the advantages of making taking a walk along the river.

Overlook update

The Overlook deck is nearing completion. Only a small portion of the desk remains to be finished.

The fishing area now has a bench. There was a photo of the stone work leading down to the river last week.

The boardwalk down to the river now has a railing.

I visited the it twice this week, and both times there were people walking it. It is allready beginning to attract attention.

Early October update

Lots of activity since I last posted:

If you stay on the Court House side of the river, and go to the bottom of Mustang Street, you can see the boat dock. It is still under construction, but is going to be very attractive. In the photo, the boat ramp railing is not in place, but you can make out both the ramp and stairway (on the left). It was drizzling while I shot this photo, but it wasn't keeping folks from enjoying the River Walk, already. You can walk on boardwalk or sidewalk all the way from Heritage Park to the weir. Once at the weir, there is a stairway down, making it easy to cross the paluxy.

The River Walk seems to be nicely connected to Heritage Park, now.

Rain. Townlake has water, again.

From Mustang Street. There is now a nice ramp down to the river bottom. The heavy equipment removing silt from of the river seems to have used Mustang St. for river access.

The walkway down to the boat dock is easy to see.

Getting down to Town Lake

The river looks pretty dry, but the boat dock is easy to see, now.

The RiverWalk is on the left, and the ramp down to the boat dock is on the right. A dry TownLake would make it hard to float much this August.

This stair way will provide a faster way down to the boat dock.

The walk way begins to take shape.

The boat dock will be below the heavy equipment in the distance. The photo was taken from the river, right below the start of the River Walk, looking down stream.

Construction at the bend

Looking at the 'road-bend' construction. The bridge to court-house square is in the distance. The River Walk from Heritage Park's pavilion to the place I'm standing can be visualized with a little imagination. The 'road' down in the river is for equipment to get down to the bottom of the slope. The heavy equipment is building up the river bank and needs some way to get in and out of the river. Widening the bank to make room for the River Walk is a big project..












Looking at the 'road-bend' from the other side. The Paluxy weir is down stream (NE), in this general direction.












'Construction central': the equipment and construction materials have to have a home somewhere.
