In 1973, the city designated 18 acres of the city cemetery (acquired in 1946) for the creation of Bee Creek Park, the site of College Station's first swimming pool. Adamson Lagoon Pool, a 50-meter pool with a separate wading pool, is named in honor of former A&M swimming coach, Art Adamson. The park also contains four lighted tennis courts, two lighted softball fields, a pavilion, sand volleyball court, picnic units, two playgrounds, natural/paved trails and a concession building with restrooms. There is on-site parking for 237 cars. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department provided partial funding for this park. The 17-acre D.A. "Andy" Anderson Arboretum is also located here.
