Unexpected dog park on the island. Most people go early afternoon. There's water and dog bowls…read more Someone donated a pool which is nice during the summer. Also a picnic table and bench area that are shaded for the owners. We did notice some stickers towards the back area of the park, that got caught in our dog's paw.

Yes, fabulous! The dog was so happy we found this. It's mainly all locals there and pretty calm…read more Much different than what I'm used to in Austin. They provide you with dog water dishes, a dog swimming pool, toys and poo bags. Is there any thing else?!! The most we saw there at once was 10 other dogs, the least was 2.

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!

It's a beautiful day to be at a decent park with the pups! There plenty of shaded seating and…read morewatering areas.

The play equipment looks a little worn but my dogs are more interested in a ball anyway. My only complaint is that there were no other dogs there to play with!! Hoping for more foot and paw traffic!

We walked the beach front and the jettis along the park on a beautiful day, 71 degrees and mostly…read moresunny. It is a very nice park to explore the beach and Gulf. If you're looking for a lot of shell's, this isn't the park however they do have some shells. We didn't see any wildlife today (dolphins, turtles). If you like long walks on a beach, check this one out.

My family and I shared many great memories at Mustang Island State Park…read more My daughters finally got to share in the experience too back in June 2025. They loved how warm the water was! Camping isn't free to my knowledge, but day use fees are not applied in most stretches of the island. I'll never forget our last summer (June 2025) vacation day when I reminded my girls to try to remain calm and not thrash around if they see a shark. They boogie boarded and swam for a couple of hours. Then about 150 yards away, the fishermen reeled in a couple of juvenile sharks. They took pictures then released them properly back into the ocean. My family acted as though sharks were a new phenomenon. A star knocked off because I was just taken aback by how trashy Texans and tourists have gotten. It didn't seem this bad when I was much younger. I picked up a full trash bag's worth walking up and down our area alone. Let's do better... tell your group to pick up too. Wildlife deserves to search for food and shelter garbage free.

Nice park. Shared parking lot with the police station so it should be safe. New playground…read moreequipment with fake grass. Actual working water fountain! 3 tennis courts. One basketball court. Community pool. Not sure if the restrooms are open 24/7. A few months ago it was in the news for having poo (not sure if human or animal) smeared all over the playground equipment. People blamed the homeless but it could just as well be housed idiots who disregard other people and like to ruin nice things. Corpus has so few nice parks, so that was very upsetting and rude.

Such a great park! Plenty of space, two separate play areas and a workout area for adults. Small…read morewalking trail. The turf makes it a sticker burr free area! My kiddos love it...the ONLY downside is the homeless population around the area
