They need more seating for parents, but other than that its an amazing park for the littles.

This is a great place to take kids, because not only are there are two side-by-side playgrounds (one designed for ages 2-5 and one for ages 2-12), but there are BATHROOMS and drinking fountains. The bathrooms are nothing fancy, and the stalls dont have doors, but so few playgrounds provide anything that access to real toilets with real seats feels like luxury. Theres also a section with adult exercise equipment a hike/trike track thats about 1/4 mile long, and mature oak trees. And an awesome seasonal pool that offers things like lessons, water aerobics, and parties.

I had such a great experience this park is definitely toddler friendly the grass is fake grass and it bounces back so if kids fall they wont hurt themselves it also has a spacious eating are and tennis courts also good for older kids the are seemed kept up with.

This park is awesome. Lots of space. My husband loves to fly his kites here. I can walk the trail with my dogs or while my kids play at the park. Its right down the street from our house so its convenient. Only down fall is those pesky mosquitoes, they get BAD in this area.

It was great! My nephews had fun. Theres a covered area for events. Every saturday they hold a lunch there for the public. Feel free to come by n bring the kids. Also if you would like to help contribute it would be appreciated. You can bring whatever you would like to share like food drinks or deserts.

A nice little park in Flour Bluff. I would give it 5 stars BUT the City of Corpus Christi has let the tennis courts go until it is almost unplayable!!!!!! The park is named after a former tennis coach at the Flour Bluff ISD. It was meant to be a tribute to his dedication and service to his school and students but the way the courts look now it’s not much of an honor. Come on City of Corpus Christi Parks and Recreation Department, lets get these courts fixed up soon!!!

Love taking the kids here. They have three different areas. One for my oldest. She gets to use the work out area, a smaller play ground for my youngest, and a larger play ground for my middle and my youngest can play on too. Love going there after taking the kids swimming. They can play and dry off before getting in my car. Lol

My husband and I took our grandbabies here. Nice grassy turf, easy for little ones to get on and off of. 2 different climbers with slides. If theyd get some swings, Id of given it 5 stars.

Review №22

The new playgrounds are great and I like that it is by the pool. However, there are a lot of homeless lingering there which makes me nervous to be there with my kids. There is a police station very close by but not sure that is enough to deter dangerous behavior.

Love native plantings and exercise equipment. Playground and pavilion are nice. Needs more reliable trash pickup in dumpster area, and former canopy area of pool should be trimmed regularly or planted with low growing (6-18) succulents, mulched with gravel, and sprayed with anti emergents.

As far as parks go, it was great. Lots of equipment for the kids, and well kept. Only drawback was no maintained permanent bathrooms, although when they have events they do bring port a potties.

My family and I love it and what the have done to it. Tons to play with and do and even a trail to walk. Too bad many wanderers sit at the pavilion nearby and boulders along the path making parents uneasy.

It is a camping site for homeless, bathrooms are almost always closed, only one picnic table, no swing, no merry go round, tennis courts are cracked and just poor maintenance all over.

Park needs regular lawncare, and trash cleanup. I frequent this park (when the homeless arent too aggressive, or drunk/drugged/whatever and bothering my 3 and 4 yr olds) and typically spend the time my kids are playing cleaning up various pieces of clothes, food items, beer bottles, etc.To make matters even worse, the police substation next door, does absolutely *nothing* to keep its populace safe.Dont visit the park near dark either, let alone after sunset. The homeless are very confrontational about *their* places to sleep, and will outright accost you.Hopefully Parker Pool reopening will focus some much needed attention on the area, and get the area straightened out slightly.Edit to review after extensive closure/remodeling:This place has been updated heavily. All new playground equipment. Soft grounds for the kiddos who have gravity problems. A small workout/calisthenics/body weight strengthening type area. Running loop is still there. Landscaping is much improved as well. And working water fountains. Thank you city council. No update as to the homeless/lurker situation. I still avoid this park anywhere close to dusk due to previous encounters with the natives.
