He took us to the Ghirardi Family Watersmart Park. I was impressed by the cisterns they had and everything that was going on in this location. The playground was the perfect size for my girl and she loved running around it. There are benches and picnic tables throughout. There is a nice small pavilion and bathroom for park guests as well. The trees here are magnificent! If you are looking for a park that isn't crowded in the League City area I would absolutely recommend this one! I hope to go back when we are in the area.

This park is the perfect combination of traditional playground and nature reserve. There are so…read moremany mature trees to provide shade. My kids found huge egret bird nests in the tree canopy. There's a new playground set for the kids. I would beware the monkey bars, though. I saw a little boy break his arm. It's my favorite place to be during sunset. I had my son's Pokémon birthday party there under the covered pavilion and that was a great party! We searched for Pokémon in the area. The bathroom is always tidy. There was that one time though that a velociraptor chased after my kids, but we managed to escape its clutches. Otherwise it's a really great park to visit.

Granted, you would probably be exhausted at the zoo unless you put a timer on like I do, so that we don't all have meltdowns, but I digress. But I am really happy to come across this play area. Was it weird walking up and down the rolling hills of the playground with a stroller? Absolutely. But would I do it again? Absolutely. I really love how they had a rubber ground for the patrons to walk on because I'm really sick of the wood chips. I'm not sure who started putting shards of wood under our children when they play, but I'm over it. We came here on one of the handful of nice weather days weekend down here in Houston. I'm not sure how hot the playground would be during the summer, because a lot of the material here is metal, but I would definitely check it out again!

You can find a fishing pier, playground, picnic area, and great views of Galveston Harbor. Entrance fee is $10 a vehicle to park and visit the park. If you want to tour the historic ship and sub, it will be an extra charge of $10-15 a person but is not mandatory to visit the park. My family enjoyed walking around the park, taking in the sights of fisherman hauling in their catch, the wildlife (pelicans, dolphins, sea turtles), and the ships passing through and by the harbor. We also decided to tour the sub and destroyer from WW2. It took about an hour for us to walk through both ships, self guided. A fair amount of history with both vessels but wish the tour would have been a little longer, especially on the destroyer. Fun time to spend an afternoon in Galveston, great for families. If you skip the ships, it makes for a very cheap activity while in Galveston. Even with the ships, it is still pretty affordable afternoon.
