We all enjoy our Matzke Park and its playground, Butterfly Garden, and walking trails. Some even enjoy the weekend cricket games, I would imagine. But Harris County Pct. #4 has a wonderful park system with many other options. Today we explored one of the newest, Dennis Johnston Park in the NW part of town. Dennis, of course, is the Pct #4 Park Director who has been so helpful with the Matzke Butterfly Garden project as well as the other improvements there. This park was named in his honor.
It used to be a Girl Scout camp, but the county has transformed it into a real garden spot, particularly suited for events and meetings. The "cabins" are used for Pct #4 county offices. It has a nice pond for fishing, a developing butterfly garden and trails as part of the Spring Creek Greenway system.

I took these pictures just this morning.
