franklin mountains state park


guess what. we got the largest urban park in the nation. that's right. you name a city and we got it beat. it basically just a huge mountain in the middle of the city. it's 24,247 acres or 37 square miles big. it wasn't a state park until 1979, when nature lovers were getting worried cuz developers were starting to cut into the pristine mountainside. that's when they decided that texas parks and wildlife should own it, and it was opened to the public in 1987. i've ran over that mountain a couple times, and one time went bird watching in the dark. mission fail.
