4 /5 E Lewis: I have been living in Central Texas for 6 years and its amazing to see how the Cameron/Pecan Parks have transformed. The parks are well maintained and policed by the locals/law enforcement. Pecan Bottoms Park is at the base of Cameron Zoo and for you fitness freaks give Jacobs Ladder a visit, I promise that your quads will thank you! Pecan Bottoms is located directly on the Brazos river and next to miles of well developed hiking and biking trails. You can literally walk/bike/run/boat the trails from Baylor University through downtown Waco to McLennan County Community College. Theres not a shortage of friendly personalities. On any given weekend you can see retirees, medieval cosplayers, frisbee golfers, collegiate track teams, rowing teams, and picnics galore. Pecans Bottoms has great access to plenty of amenities and is littered with an eclectic selection of arts, monuments, and statues. So once you finish your workout or get tired from watching other people exercise, go to downtown Waco and some social libations. I look forward to seeing you there!
