About the Company
rating: 4.2
Named after City Commissioner Alice Wilson, the park sits on the U.S. / Mexico border on the Rio Grande River in Downtown Brownsville. In 2000, the City of Brownsville dedicated a marker at Alice Wilson - Hope Park that served as the beginning point of the historic Chisholm Trail. The marker identifies the area that served as the starting point of the Chisholm Trail. The trail led from Brownsville in far south Texas and went north through present-day Yukon, Oklahoma. Near present-day Perry, Okla., it split into a western trail leading to the railroad stockyard at Dodge City and an eastern trail leading to several other railroad stockyards.

Watch the RioGrande river below you and view the famous Gateway a Bridge as seen on To catch a smuggler series on National Geographic TV. Toilets: None in all of downtown Brownsville! Dog-friendliness: Yrs.

Stark reminder of the haves and have-nots but also what border communities endure. Was enlightening to spend some time here, the wall is imposing.

It s a small parking lot to see the border wall and Rio Grande river. Safe to be at, had a border patrol officer on US side on the outside and inside of the fence. Nice place to visit. Got some good photos.

Its a very small park close to the border wall. We can see the border crossings and the Rio Grande River through the wall.

Dont know why this place scores so high on Google as a park? It basically a parking lot with a fence,so you can see across border,which looks the same as this side of border! Only thing for kids to do is climb a tree!
