Southeast Park

As a parent here in Amarillo you really have a tough job. I mean you have to provide everything for those precious children. There is the food, the shelter, the clothes just to name a few.

I say that but I like the fact that this is a hidden gem. Ok, maybe it is not hidden. I mean it's a park and it is in plain sight. I just don't think people take advantage of it as they should.

It really is important to our communities to have great parks for our families. It is such a blessing to have somewhere fun to take the kiddos. Who has not taken advantage of our city parks? I feel at one time or another we have either been a kid playing in one or having a child run up to a swing for that fun.

Amarillo doesn't seem like the place that you would really go out and start looking for pelicans. They are really not native to the Amarillo area. I love Amarillo and all but pelicans don't naturally decide Amarillo is the place to hang out.

Looking at the calendar we have just under a month left of summer. In the summer we have so many fun outdoor activities to take advantage of. It is easier to stay fit because we are moving around a lot more.

We are learning of a spill from Amarillo's Wastewater Lift Station # 32 that has filled Southeast Park and the lake with over 400,000 gallons of wastewater.

It reads like a story from a true crime novel. A man is found murdered in his car, in a park, with no known witnesses. Now, Amarillo Crime Stoppers needs your help.

Tuesday afternoon, Amarillo Police were called to Southeast Park for a welfare check and discovered a body with apparent gunshot wounds.
