Compass Park

Adventure Location: Rockport, Texas
Estimated Rolling Date: Feb. 12, 2012

It was a bright nice day with no agenda.  That made it perfect for meandering.  A small triangle of land across from Little Bay attracted my attention.  It was a city park and it looked very nice and inviting.  My meandering feet just had to take a look and see what it was like.  Extremely nice is what it looked like when it was toured.

There are about five parking spots on the side street for vehicles.  A good walking path invites you to explore and the flowers invite you to relax.  The palm trees show the effects of the open windblown area but also add a lot of interest to the park.  In fact the trees are what caught my attention in the first place.

 There are a few benches made of stone scattered around for your enjoyment of the views of little bay.  The stone that was used blends in well with the natural materials environment of the park.

The focal point of the park is the compass rose.  It is a nicely done effort with a small labyrinth in the middle.

The main points of the compass are marked in pleasant fashion.  Yep the orientation was checked with my compass.  They agreed.

The aroma of the flowers was strong on this day.  The cool breeze from off the water was nice.  The view was very good.  It is hard to believe that sitting next to the busiest highway in town is this very refreshing city park.  It was a great interlude in a day of trying to have tooooo much fun.
