I hear a lot of references to it, but it predates my time in BCS. What all did Pooh's Park have? Was there a water park as part of it?

Also other things came and went at various times. Miniature golf, go karts, bowling, water slide. Not a water park. Just a single water slide. Its location is now Ross, Twin Liquors, Bahama Bucks, Champion Firearms, etc.

All I remember was skating, miniature golf and the water slide. Fun. Seemed like it was way out of town too. Weird.

Owned by BCS version of PT Barnum, Don Dale! It did seem way out of town during its day.

Has there ever been a water park, like a Hawaiian Falls type place in BCS?

It did.

Can't even begin to count how many hours of my life I spent at Pooh's Park when I was a kid.

No particular reason other than just not knowing exactly what it was when people refer to it. I see a lot of comments on social media about how the area has nothing and people talking about missing Pooh's Park.

Gotcha. It pre-dates my time in Aggieland as well but I have heard it was quite the spot for all the townees back in the day. I haven't seen the chatter about it but I am sure it reminds them of the good ole days, hah!

Gibson's. Holy hell I haven't thought of that place in forever. I'm barely old enough to remember it.

Loving the pictures! I can definitely understand the nostalgia for it from folks that have been in BCS for some time.

I can't remember how many times my friends and I would get kicked off the go carts for acting crazy.

Feathered hair and OP t-shirts at the skate rink. Right there in Kodachrome. Makes you think all the world's a sunny day!





Thanks for the time travel folks!
