Benbrook Tree Lighting Ceremony 2022
2022 Benbrook Tx Tree Lighting Ceremony was a lot of holiday fun.
The City of Benbrook has a tradition of tree lighting celebrations. 2022 is their 31st year for the festivities. People begin gathering around 5 PM to get the best spots to view the fireworks display. Benbrook Lions Club and BSA Troop 95 offer hot chocolate and candy canes for the crowd to warm hands while waiting. Elves mingle, keeping spirits bright.
The primary parking area is the grassy field between 377 and the YMCA. The best spot to see both the tree lighting and the fireworks is from the bleachers in the North baseball field. Plenty of people show up, so make sure and bring a blanket or chairs and make yourself comfortable. Kids can play at the park playground while waiting on Santa.
If you choose not to join the traffic, you can see the fireworks from anywhere near the park.
Santa arrives at about 7 PM to countdown the tree lighting. The fireworks show follows immediately. We were able to capture a video of a part of the fireworks through Facebook Live. We also posted a full event video on YouTube with modified audio to avoid copyright issues. We will put them all here for your viewing pleasure!

Chisolm Trail Community Center Skatepark and Playground
Chisolm Trail Community Center has fantastic free skatepark, trails, and playground
The Chisolm Trail Community Center has fantastic free outdoor facilities for the whole family to enjoy.
The website absolutely does not do it justice, and neither do my pictures. There are miles of paved trails to walk, a newly expanded skate park, a well-equipped playground and much more. We haven’t stepped foot inside the actual community center itself, but it looks lovely and well-kept from the outside. See the website for more information.
Bub and his friends enjoy spending hours at the skatepark. The crowd that gathers seems to be consistently considerate and helpful. The I’ve seen razors, bikes, roller skates, and skateboards all used in the park. The skatepark has a small shelter with some seating and tables beneath. There are also a few porta potties available if needed. Siblings can hop over to the playground if they aren’t interested in skating.
If you plan to stay at the park for some time, remember to bring water and consider bringing some chairs.
