The Link Park is a linear park that connects Mike Lewis Park to C.P. Waggoner Park with paved trails, boardwalks, and a 270 foot long bridge spanning Johnson Creek. The Texas Department of Transportation removed 10.3 acres of parkland from Waggoner Park for the construction of Highway 161, so in return, they purchased 75 acres of land for the Good Link Park and funded the entire project.
