Great quick 15-30min stop. No parking because this is just a true roadside attraction. Park on the side of the road and enjoy the art.

Beautiful place for pokemon go players. Please be aware this is on the side of the freeway so parking is available but you will have to park as far off of the street as possible to remain safe

Toad stop right off 288 and Westbelfort. There is no parking just some shorts holder to pull over and take some pics. Beautiful place, art for sure.

Pull off the side of the road, park your car in the cutout with the flashers on and walk around this park that is open 24 hours for some great photo ops. It really is all very impressive and unique. If you are questioning if everything truly is bigger in Texas than check out the fishing pole here. Enjoy!

I love going on road trips and looking for little roadside attractions like this. There is not a whole lot here but what is there is very cool.We spent about 10 minutes here.Park along the side of the road and walk over to check out the sculptures. We visited on a day after it rained so it was muddy and there was a lot of standing water yet. The grass was pretty high in certain spots. Check this place out if nearby.

This place is a cool (and FREE) roadside stop. Really good for instagram opportunities or the kids alike. If you’re going that way, have a stop and get some cool pics. Just be sure to wear pants or socks and shoes as the grass has burs.

Exciting.

A gem thats literally easy to pass up. If youre headed south on the 288 feeder (or turned onto it from Bellfort), there is a long paved notch of concrete on the right, immediately after the curb ends. You can park there with your blinkers on.The ground is uneven and varying in how the grass is cut, with troughs scores of yards long parallel to 288. I didnt see any snakes while I was there, but wouldnt be surprised if I did see one. If you like to wear sandals or other open-toed shoes, I would not wear those here!I wouldnt recommend going here after a rain or at night. There are no benches, though some of the sculptures have concrete bases you could briefly rest on. Dont climb on the sculptures!For Pokemon GO players, or any related Niantic games, there are many points of interest to check out with your phone. Enjoy!

Very nice place to hangout lots of art. once the toll road at State highway 288 is complete it would be a lot easier to get to I highly recommend it.

Pretty neat little place! Its right off of 288 and appears to be on the grounds of a line pipe company but has no official parking; we just parked on the shoulder of the feeder road.Its littered with trash here and there but I dont think there are people actually maintaining the grounds. The sculptures are quite interesting and I enjoyed wandering around for about 15 to 20 minutes.There are a good amount of Pokestops and a battle ground on site. FYI: I also caught a Ditto here.
