As a local with a masters degree in American Military and Strategy I have to say that this Battlefield deserves preservation. What this park lacks in interpretation they excel in historical content, significance, maintenance & archeology. The Battlefield is not large so you will not drive over it. There is a parking area where the fighting took place. From there you walk the Mexican and American lines. You will be able to read tablets and see numerous artillery pieces. The Visitors Center, although small is packed full of artifacts, information, a movie room and gift shop. Parking is ample and there are spaces for large RVs, school buses and trailers. The restrooms are located next to the front entrance and are always very clean. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. This is a great educational, historical and family friendly experience. I highly recommend it. Be willing to spend about 2 hours or more. Depending upon the time of the year, temperatures can be extremely hot in the afternoons in the summer. I would suggest a visit in the morning or late afternoon. Also, there is very little shade and virtually no benches to rest (and refect) on. When you venture out, take water with you. The staff has done a tremendous job adding pathways and keeping the 1846 year appearance up to date. Be very mindful of the wildlife, especially the rattlesnakes. They tend to be more noticeable in the fall months, so stay on the pathways. One final note. Interpretation is the largest piece that is missing. There are no monuments or statues erected, nothing to tell you about the units and commanders that were engaged here. To me, this is the parks main area that needs to be addressed and corrected. The average visitor knows very little about this historical event and without unit markers or additional tablets it is difficult to envision the battle ground.

Had the opportunity to visit here today and really liked it. From the moment we checked in, we were helped and greeted professionally by staff. After watching a quick movie about the history, we made the walk out and back. It s roughly a mile and very well paved. We were able to see a couple of Western Rattlesnakes mating and a Texas Tortoise today. Well worth the visit!

On the Northern border of Brownsville, TX is a National Park unit which preserves the grounds of the May 8, 1846, Battle of Palo Alto. It was the first major conflict in a border dispute that soon precipitated the Mexican -American War. The U.S. Armys victory here made the invasion of Mexico possible. The historic site portrays the battle and the war, and its causes and consequences, from the perspectives of both the United States and Mexico.

Great living history events. They never disappoint! They even show a demonstration of the cannons going off and how they prepared and shoot with the antique muskets. Historical facts are shared with the public in every event. Just bring your own cold drink if you go during hot weather, high temperatures can reach 107 degrees pretty fast, and a hot drink in colder weather. Definitely more enjoyable during colder weather.

Today, I visited the place where the Mexican, American War began. When Texas was annexed in 1846, disputes over its boundaries and ownership pushed the US and Mexico toward war. At the time, the US President James Polk claimed all of Texas, including its Rio Grande border, and of course, the President of Mexico insisted Mexico still owned Texas. Thus began negotiations, which failed, and discussions transpired between the parties involved, which terms could not be reached. In order to fully understand what transpired, one needs to read the story about the Mexican and US War. I would recommend you visit the two or more Battlefields near Brownsville, Texas. Its an excellent opportunity to gain knowledge about this doubling the size of the United States.

Its located in the wrong place, its further east toward Old Port Isabel Road, next to Loma Alta Lake and Hill. You wont find any artifacts at the Park. Paredes Line Road did not exist before 1926, thus Resaca dela Palma battle is also in the wrong place. Lt. U.S. Grant and Gen. Zachary Taylors memoirs never mentioned a road to Los Fresnos and Paredes Line Road. Some visitors before 1915 recorded that there is a Hill and/or Ridge next to the battlefield, which is east of the present location.

Small museum, near the site of an 1846-47 battle. Do not take a 2 hour detour to get there. Free, short 15min film to watch. Interesting brochure to read later.

The state of Texas has continuously updated or revived the battlefields over the years. Being that it is a battlefield, quite literally a large field, the welcome center, well kept trails and information signs plus cannons are a great way to get out and enjoy the day. Reading about local history and wildlife is a bonus

A very nice park with a lot of United States and Mexican history. The first battle of the Mexican/ American war was here. Nice museum with artifacts and a theater to watch about the battle. Then walk the sidewalk out to the actual battle ground to see where the two Armies met. See the awful ground in which they were fighting.
