Aerial view of Bledsoe-Miller Park, the Bledsoe-Miller STEAM Center, and the STEAM Center Playground

Bledsoe-Miller Park (300 N. Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd.) sits along the Brazos River and features a pavilion, restrooms, picnic tables, riverfront trail and a space-themed STEAM Center playground, which debuted in January 2026 during the grand opening of the new Bledsoe-Miller STEAM Center.

Designed to complement the Bledsoe-Miller STEAM Center’s educational mission, the playground encourages imaginative play, problem-solving, and exploration. It was developed using universal design principles to create a play environment that is usable and welcoming to a broad range of ages and abilities, supporting inclusion and shared play experiences.
