You’ve Never Seen Anything Quite Like This Art Park In Texas

With all the activities to do in Houston, parks aren't usually anyone's first choice - but you've never seen one quite like this. Eclectic Menagerie is an outdoor art gallery full of animals, trucks, planes, and so many more unique sculptures designed by a contractor of Texas Pipe & Supply, whose property the park is located on. Take a look:

Creativity and construction work don't usually go hand-in-hand, which is exactly what makes Eclectic Menagerie Park so unique.

Located on the property of Texas Pipe & Supply, the collection of 26 quirky sculptures is primarily the work of Ron Lee, who has worked as one of the company's contractors for over 40 years.

Nobody knows exactly why, but the majority of the pieces are animals. Check out the wingspan on this owl!

The display wouldn't be complete without our state animal. I sure wouldn't want to be around when this guy decides to make like a roly poly!

As offbeat as the sculptures are, they actually serve a much greater purpose. Many are constructed from unused pipes and equipment, so the park is doing the environment a huge favor!

Some of the pieces are on the serious side...

...while others are lighthearted as can be, like this airfield of all sorts of different planes.

If you look just a bit closer...

...you'll see that Snoopy is driving the aircraft! The people at Texas Pipe & Supply have quite the sense of humor.
