It is one of my absolute favorite places in South Texas…read more The city of Rockport does an immaculate job maintaining the park, from trimming grass on the side of the paved paths to making sure that the natural trail is always trimmed low. There is a group of people who walk/jog in the early mornings here. The park opens at 6 AM. The part that is paved near the soccer fields and the playground is well lit. But the part that is closer to the ponds towards the back of the park is not. So if you do decide to walk here in the early morning, for safeties concerns, I always kept to the front half of the park. But the dog park is on a whole other level! Between the small and dog park it has to be a little over an acre. It is extremely well shaded with lots of trees. There are obstacles for your dog to play on. They have a fresh source of water as well as a self filling water station. I absolutely love that they have a pretty significantly long natural trail. My joints don't love pavement but they do love natural trails and oftentimes parks they are overlooked or paved over. This park is a gem for the people of Rockport and those who visit.

They said he really had a great time, although he didn't see dolphins. Later the same day, my younger son and I stopped in so I could take pictures. We parked by the observation tower and went up the stairs to see the view. We saw boats and dolphins on our visit. I especially enjoyed watching the comings and goings of the ferry boats. This is a beautiful park. Besides the observation tower, they have a play area and a fishing pier. It was too hot and humid for me to stay much longer than we did, but in cooler weather, it would be fun to just sit on a pier and watch the boats coming and going for a few hours.

Cole Park is an excellent amenity to Corpus living!…read more It is located just South of McGee Beach where Shoreline Blvd turns into Ocean Dr. Most visitors and tourists ignore it because it is not the beach, but once you get familiar with the park, you'll see all it has to offer. And it is quite large and currently under redevelopment with more improvements I remember when lockdowns ended in 2020 and public amenities became accessible again. This was one of the first parks I started to frequent again. I often go downtown for dining and work events, and find myself going for walks here afterwards.

The park is basically a turn around next to the Nueces River, that goes around I-37. The park has been messed up for a while as they go and replace the bridge that goes over the Nueces. They're making it a higher bridge, and have the whole place torn up. There's no trees or any shade. The park offers a bunch of picnic tables that overlook the river. If you're a fisher, it'd be a good place to grill up some river catfish. There are no restrooms here. No running water. Dogs are welcome here. You can probably run them off a leash, as I hardly ever see anyone here. Just make sure they don't jump in the river.

The shallow beaches, tall grasses and swampy marshes in this area make for an ideal place for birds to hang out and eat whatever swimming in the shallow waters. There isn't anything here, other than some markers and places to pull off the road and be on the lookout for birds. There are no restrooms, gift shops or anything like that. It's a good place to hang out and watch the sun set- sometimes there's even dolphins hanging out here! This place isn't really so much for the people of Rockport, as the birds of Rockport. They get a lot more use out of it than the humans do.

This park is part of the Aransas Pathways, an organized kayaking route. There's picnic tables here, which are covered. They surround a picturesque beach made of crushed oyster shells where it's a shallow approach to the shallow bay. It makes for a good place to go fishing or swimming, or launch a watercraft. There's no full boat launch available, just portable hand towed stuff. There's no real big lawns to run and play on. It's not suitable for a soccer game or flying a kite. Mostly stuff surrounding the Copano Bay and waterfront activities! There's a restroom here, a portapotty. The park is clean and well kept.

It also looks like there have been some recent additions since the last review. The park is located at a crosswalk next to an RV park on Avenue G. There is actually a lot to see here starting with a very long paved nature trail running through a nature preserve with observation areas and continues on by the ship channel. You will also find 3 ball diamonds, a large baseball field, a little league diamond, and a T-ball diamond complete with batting cages. Other amenities include a fenced in dog park, a community pool, a soccer field, basketball court, public bathrooms and a large children's play scape. On the property is also a frisbee golf course and skateboard park. You will also find five fenced in pickleball courts that look like they were just built yesterday. The pickle ball courts are open to the public at no cost. There are some covered picnic tables directly next to the pool and a couple of tables in the dog park. This is definitely one of the nicest community parks you will find anywhere.

Dedicated in 2002, Paradise Pond is a 2-acre habitat that provides an excellent example of public/private collaboration. A group of birders who won the Great Texas Birding Classic designated the prize money for the purchase of land located behind a local motel. Several donations of land, additional grants and other funding sources helped to complete the project that birders from across the country now enjoy. Paradise Pond is a stop on the spring migratory route for smaller warblers and other songbirds, while many feathered friends call the pond home all year long. The wheelchair accessible boardwalk and 3 observation decks provide easy access to get "up close and personal" with the birds under a mantle of trees. There is a sitting area at the entrance for watching butterflies, dragonflies and birds, along with information about the flowers and the butterflies that the flowers attract. Private donations of land, foundation funds and teamwork helped make Paradise Pond part of the Birding Trail of Texas. Visitors flock from across the country for a sitting here...and you should too!
