There are too many people leaving trash! If you leave trash, YOU are trash! Itd be nice if the water in the splash pad stayed on til dark instead of going off at 7:00 Playground: Besides the trash, its a decent playground.

I was in Galveston for a reunion of my submarine crew. The submarine was called the USS Hawkbill (which is a turtle) and therefore we posed for a picture in front of the mural which has a sea turtle theme. All I can say is that it is peeling badly. Could use some attention.

I go there for the Thursday evening outdoor summertime concert series that promotes some very good local bands. Fun for the whole family! Bring your dog, on a leash, of course. Bathrooms? I think you use the port-a-johns on the Seawall because Ive never seen a bathroom. Youll be sitting on the lawn to see a concert or shooting some hoops on the basketball court by the auditorium. Walk north a few steps, and you will find a Skate/BMX cement park with deep pipes, a playground with a water feature, picnic tables, an outdoor work-out facility, and an off-leash dog park. Toilets: Im pretty sure you use the port-a-johns on the Seawall.

Came here three times already. Its a really unique park with a skate park, view of Pleasure Pier and the Beach, but its kinda run down... Its needs repairs and possibly some cops lol. Someone took a ...log on the top of the slide last time I was here. I have pics... And there is graffiti on the kids playgrounds... Just sayin Playground: All kinds of different jungle gyms. Some of them were broken. Toilets: I didnt find any. Dog-friendliness: I seen a small dog park people seems to be enjoying. Picnic area: There is a gazebo and a in ground bbq pit with tables.

Adorable community center. They are always striving to have events and classes open. Love that they offer yoga and other classes like kickboxing since these can be very expensive. They also have a dog park, skate park, kids playground, and concerts in the summers. All around, really cute with community vibes.

Kids play area, Dog park, community garden, skate park, tennis courts, basketball court, outdoor showers to rinse off, beach right across the street, and community center all very nice. I havent been in the community center in some years but it was always clean and well managed. Not a bad spot to spend an afternoon outside for free. Playground: Very nice updated equipment for kids of all ages. Toilets: Restrooms are in the community center so unavailable after a certain hour Dog-friendliness: Dog park is nice has water hose buckets and nice picnic tables to sit at while your dogs play Picnic area: Nice covered picnic area
