Metal train climbing structure and the new train playground says designed for ages 5-12 but I have a 3 year old she does great. Also a small fountain a little dirty but nice to look at.

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:-)

The splash pad not big but good enough to have kids run around happily, the playground is in need of some repair but generally quite enjoyable.

A mom I met recently told me "I used to bar-hop, now I park-hop"…read moreThat's basically what brought us here. We're always on the lookout for new outdoor play areas to spice up our day. The play equipment is a little old and showing signs of use (understandably) but still totally functional. There's a play area for toddlers that has a canvas cover and a larger play area for older kids. There's also a tall structure with slides, swings, tennis courts and a pool. Parking was easy and there was an open grassy area for team sports with some scattered benches and trees. The play area had mulched rubber instead of woodchips which I'm a fan of (those woodchips get everywhere!). Overall this park was a-okay, we might put it in rotation but there are better in the area.

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.
