The picnic area on US 60 in Roberts County is an early roadside park developed by the Texas Highway Department - now Texas Department of Transportation. This 1935 park accommodated motorists attending the state's centennial events in 1936. The park retains original stone entry walls and picnic features.

The Texas Highway Department launched its roadside park program in 1933 to provide safe places for motorists to relax and eat during their travels. Native stone and plantings were often used to create a natural park atmosphere. Today, hundreds of picnic areas and rest areas dot Texas' Highways, continuing the state's legacy of safe and convenient roadside parks.
