Went there with my family fishing, it's a really nice place lots of walking trails, great place to take kids or go fishing. Nice playground, fishing piers.

It was great learning about the history of this place. It is unfortunate what happened because so many people lost their homes.

How is it they going to charge $4 a person just to take their kids to the park.. if it was fishing I'd understand.. not saying it's expensive but it's pointless

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Does it cost to come here?

Amber Brown | Oct 12, 2018
Raychel Sparrow (Traveling Sparrow) | Oct 12, 2018

Yes it costs, the other people who are answering is wrong... its 4.00 per person 13 and over, 65 and over is 1.00, 5 to 12 is 1.00, and 4 and under is free. Year passes is 30.00 for individual, 65.00 for family. The family pass is for the card holder plus 5 adults, 12 and under is counted but no limit. There is no car load price. I have worked there for 4 years now. These have been the prices for over 2 years now. There are no free days any more, the park gets so trashed the city stopped doing the free day.

How is the fishing

Phred Orsby | Mar 15, 2022
Tracey Prothro | Mar 15, 2022

I am not sure what is being caught currently, but the brackish bays are home to drum, trout, croaker, catfish, etc.... all the usual suspects for our area. I noticed a lot of boat fishing happening in Scott Bay a few weekends ago so maybe the fish are biting. Remember, a TPWD fishing license is required for fishing in any public water body.
