Very few parks in Galveston, if any, can match this one in terms of multi-functionality. It…read morecontains a playground, baseball field, basketball court, cement trail, shaded benches, and two fenced areas for dogs (one open field and one impressively designed obstacle course). I occasionally take a walk here during the colder months when the unshaded weather allows it. Seeing all the dogs cheer me up! Parking is typically easy. Marine St has a dedicated lot for this park, and Albacore Dr has unrestricted street parking. Alternatively, N Holiday Dr has 2 hour parking from 9am-6pm.

It's a pretty awesome park…read more There are a few items that seem to be wearing and could used some maintenance, but I would not say it's unsafe. This park is good for toddlers and grade schoolers. Some of the slides on the "big kid" side are pretty high and fast. The toddler size is also great. Not sure what else to say is that the kids loved it. Oh, bring mosquito spray:-)

Nothing dampens my vacation to the beach like a week of rain and no sun but that's what happened…read more So we were on the hunt for something fun to do with five children under 4! Fortunately we came across this sweet little place on the island. Small and quaint but full of rooms of imagination and learning. Each of the kids had different personalities and within seconds we found a spot for each of them. It may have been a toss up as to whether adults or kids had the most fun. There is only one doorway to come in and out of so we felt pretty safe that we wouldn't lose any too quickly lol. Every time we thought we had seen it all, there were more rooms to discover. Kids were fully entertained and happy to be out of the airbnb. There were enough activities for ages up to 8 I would say. There was also an art studio. Supplies were rough. Very used so a donation might improve that activity. Restrooms clean but small. So was parking. We had to park on adjacent street when we were there. Takeaway-when it rains, make a trip here you won't regret it. I believe it was $10 per head. Oh and be sure to do a little jig with Mr Skeleton while you're there.

For a family of 5 the price was $44 as a non resident. There is a 2ft deep kiddie play area with its own mini water slide and plenty of lifeguards to reassure the children are safe. There's a nice lazy river not too large but a decent size at 3-4 feet deep. There are 2 big water slides you have to climb stairs to go up! It's pretty awesome I've rode both slides and they're super fun! There's a place to buy snacks and drinks (cash only) you can pay to enter the park with tap to pay or card payment. There are picnic table areas and next door a nice huge park. This is ideal for families, very relaxing, fun music played which creates a summer feel atmosphere. Definitely recommend visiting for families with small children!
