Aggie Park

Aggie Park is a 20-acre green space located in the heart of Texas A&M University's campus in College Station, Texas. Opened in September 2022, the park was developed to provide enhanced outdoor spaces for students, alumni, and visitors.

The park sits between the Clayton W. Williams, Jr. Alumni Center, Houston Street, the John J. Koldus Building, and Throckmorton Street. It features a 2-acre lake stocked with fish for catch-and-release fishing, including largemouth bass, striped bass, redfish, and rainbow trout depending on the season.

A key feature is the 102-foot Plank Bridge spanning the lake, designed to be wide enough to accommodate the Corps of Cadets marching formation. The park also includes walking trails, an outdoor amphitheater, and a performance pavilion with a copper roof that will patinate over time.

Aggie Park provides improved infrastructure for campus events and tailgating, with level surfaces, public Wi-Fi access, and modern restroom facilities. It also houses permanent recognition for Distinguished Alumni and monuments celebrating Aggie traditions, including statues related to the Aggie War Hymn.

The park was funded entirely through private donations raised by The Association of Former Students, serving as a gift to be used by the entire Aggie community year-round. It was designed to enhance the campus gateway, create engaging green spaces, and promote camaraderie among Aggies.
