I thought it was time for another review of this park since the last one was from six years ago…read morefrom this writing. 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.

Located on Cut Off Road, jusy behind San Juan Taqueria, this unexpected gem is an oasis in the…read moremiddle of the island, and a nice place to visit with your bird watchers, wildlife lovers or kiddos. 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!

In order to kill some time, we walked along the beach and took in the sculptures and other historical sights. We were caught by surprise on how windy the weather was.

We drove around almost the entire island and stopped at the visitor center and got any information we could use and a map. We drove down to the beach. There is a small parking lot but, they allow you to actually drive out onto the beach. The sand is pure and the water blue and the whole area is very clean. You can bring your coolers, chairs, umbrellas and all you need in the back of your car. Then just pull out onto the beach and unload. It is a very nice place.

(In fact, Corpus Christi was quite dig friendly on the whole.) The Gulf winds bring a lot of trash onto this beach, so don't expect raked beaches of Mexico or pristine shoreline of Costa Rica. Instead, consider pitching in. The visitors center offers bags and Dumpsters. For me, an hour or two of trash pickup was fun since I'd be walking the beach anyway. It was also appreciated - I got a sew on patch :).

People camp out here and all. This is the area where the famous Nueces River ends and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. It runs alongside the back part of the park.

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.

For one, there's a sizeable parking lot to accommodate beachgoers. There's no parking fee! You just drive right in, park, and go enjoy the beach. Amazing! (One of the things that impressed us most on our trip was that CC must value its tourists, because we didn't have to pay for parking for any of our excursions.) In this lot there's also a pretty upscale, modern restroom. The beach itself was obviously enjoyable. There are spots for sea-fishers to put down their rods. There's some fun wildlife to admire like gulls and sandpipers. The beach ends on the north-end where a seabreak extends out into the sea for a man-made inland river/trench. We couldn't find the end to the south but eventually turned back around when we got tired of walking. The sand has a nice smooth texture and the water was a bit chilly in February, but you could still enjoy a splash. The air temperature was about ten degrees cooler than it was inland in the Bay versus out along the coast, FYI!
