This vacant lot at 107 SW Barnard St. in Historic Glen Rose Texas, lies between two century old buildings and has been a drainage canal for the overflow from "Gator Pond" across town, and runoff from city gutters, into the Paluxy river.

In 1990, the Mayor decided to have it cleaned up and used as the city's first sanctuary for local birds and other wildlife.

Future additions to the sanctuary will be an ADA accessible elevated observation deck, as now the public's primary vantage point is from the sidewalk. The purpose of the elevated deck is for easy viewing of the entire sanctuary area to witness its' lushness and beauty.
