Historic Stagecoach Park

Stagecoach Park features two historic farm structures and an expansive nature trail on 51-acres of land. The park offers a pavilion, amphitheater, playground, trails, open space, a pond, and a council ring. This natural park contains acres of mesquite and oak trees. Wildlife, like the White-Tailed Deer, are also abundant within the park. In addition, the park is equipped with restrooms facilities.
With two ecosystems, that means twice the variety of vegetation! Here are just a few of the plants that can be found at Stagecoach Park: Pecan trees, red oak trees, live oak trees, mesquite trees, redbud trees, Mexican plum trees, winged elm, blueberry junipers, mustang grape vine, Virginia creeper, greenbriar vine, smilax vine, kudzu vine, poison ivy, Carolina snailseed, Texas lilac, beauty berry, agarita, ligustrum, opuntia cactus, pear cactus, hackberry, mountain laurel, yaupon holly, winged elm, milkweed, cattails, and wild onion. Mountain laurel blossoms smell like grape Kool-aid!
