The Allen area was previously home to the Caddo, Comanche, and other indigenous peoples. The first immigrants from the United States and Europe arrived in the early 1840s. Green Park has an information sign that my kids who are now 20 liked to view when they were young. It featured interesting pictures of Comanches with their children and a brief history of the site.
This would be a simple thing to revive by the city. Its beyond damaged from age and hail storms. Its a good reminder and information about our area especially since we have a Comanche drive! Nothing against Sam Bass but this is more interesting and important.
I hope you can sign the petition to get a new similar pictured sign like this, one that is able to withstand weather and age. Its not a big expense but is a nice feature for the park.

I am deeply saddened you plan to remove rather than restore a part of our history here in Allen. I feel it is extremely important to show the history of all who have lived and settled here. Not just advertise we are know for a train robbery. Please restore this piece of our history.
Please do not erase history. This sign is important and Allen should see the significance of that.
Please renew this sign! It is so important to our community. There is history in our community that should not be lost!
The beauty of this one it had pictures of the women and children. It would be a huge expense to make a rock structure. It’s an information point. If we try to make it rock they will disregard due to cost.
I agree its a nice feature for the park and it helps the kids make sense of history.
This kind of information is very important for our children!
Pretty, pretty please with sugar on top restore the Comanche sign and put it back? Pleeeaaassse?
