January marks the 15th anniversary of John Knox Center renovations! Originally built in the 1980s by the Knox Family, this iconic banquet hall has been rented for weddings, quinceañera, retirements, conferences, fundraisers and so much more.
Reopened in January 2011, the renovations were highlighted by a new panoramic view of the Brazos River and McLane Stadium. Additional features included surround sound speaker system, outdoor deck, limestone pillars and wood flooring. It is a 6,000 square foot space. We encourage you to check out this affordable and iconic event space.
Before and After: Knox Center in 2007 featured barnwood and stone walls but no windows to admire the park grounds. After the renovation, Knox Center was opened up and a wall of windows added for natural light and panoramic views of the Brazos River.
