Answer: Memory Park

            “And,” Peter begins but then exhales as he speaks, “We’re here once again.” The duo walks past the Buffalo and through the woods along the gravel path that meets with a brook.  Matthew takes a glance back to the stream which crossed the path for which they had taken.

            “Kirk stated in the journal that in Sioux Indian language, tatanka means buffalo!” Matthew informed. They continued to the clearing in front of the library.

            Passing the beautiful water fountain that sits in the clearing beside the lake, Peter slips his hands behind his back, locking his hands together. Matthew followed him loosely a few feet behind. “Did you read anything about this park?” Peter shouted over his shoulder to his friend.

            Walking past Peter, Matthew spots a sign besides the clearing. He stands by the sign and starts reading. “According to this sign, the park was dedicated in June 28, 2008. The land for this park was donated by LeFevre family to the Montgomery County,” Matthew skimmed, “However; the educational signs within the park are funded by a 2007 environmental grant from Entergy Corporation while braille signs are funded by a grant from Conroe Noon Lions Club & Lake Conroe Lions Club.”

            “Who runs and owns Memory Park now?” Peter walks up to Matthew.

            “The City of Montgomery now owns the park since February 11, 2013. The park is coordinated by Montgomery County, the Rotary Club of Lake Conroe, and several other organizations,” answered Matthew, “Memory Park contains many native Texas flora and trees. Numerous facilities exist in the park, including trails, fountains, benches, gardens, and ponds with waterfalls.”

            Peter turns around, and takes a look at the vast park. “There are also statues including the Honor Flight Eagle that memorizes the local veterans of World War II,” Matthew adds, “Also, lots of items are purchased donated by families of departed loved ones.”
