San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site

“Remember the Alamo!” “Remember Goliad!” Shouted the Texian troops led by Gen. Sam Houston when they surprised the Mexican army that was camped here in 1836. The decisive Battle of San Jacinto resulted in Texas’ independence from Mexico. This 1,200-acre park includes the towering San Jacinto Monument and the San Jacinto Museum of History. Walk in the Texian soldiers’ footsteps on the grounds, explore the museum, and ride the elevator to the top of the monument to take in a bird’s-eye view of where Texas’ independence was won.

The San Jacinto Monument is an awesome monument commemorating the Texans victory over Mexico and the tyrant Santa Ana. I truly enjoyed the stories of Texas history written around the base of the monument. Texans showed Santa Ana a lot more mercy than he showed Texans at the Alamo. You can go inside to see the museum, a film and take a ride to the top of the monument. It's $12 for adults and $6 for children. We didn't go this time, but we will return. This is a must see for Texans and Americans. FYI - There's a lot of great things to do in La Porte. You can see the Battleship Texas, Sylvan Beach, St. Mary's Church and the Fred Hartman Bridge.

I've been here several times over my lifetime and it had been a field trip staple for countless school children for decades. However, while the grounds are still open for exploration, the ship itself will soon be leaving LaPorte for good. Though you used to be able to go aboard and explore at your leisure, take a guided tour with a vet or spend the night during one of their events, the ship itself has been closed to the public since August 2019. All you can do is look at the outside now. Repairs are currently underway to make it sea worthy enough for tow to a ship repair facility. It was originally slated to be transported sometime in November/December 2020 but, for obvious reasons, that schedule is behind. Once it is towed, there will be a repair process expected to last about a year then it will be permanently relocated somewhere in North Texas (as it did not have enough paying visitors to support its restoration in LaPorte). As long as it survives, I'm happy (though I wish it could stay in LaPorte). Goodbye Battleship Texas! We have many fond memories of you and will miss you.

Clear Lake Park

Reviewed By joesys2018

Expansive free parking. Two big playgrounds with Little Tyke brand equipment. One splash pad with a dolphin motif. Both my 4 year old and 8 year old had an amazing time! Tons of covered picnic benches, barbecue grills, and a beautiful view of the water. The playground is padded and very clean and new. Wish we had something like this in DFW.

Walter Hall Park

Reviewed By L6593VIjimh

Walter Hall park is a beautiful, moderate size park located on Hwy 3 in League City. The park has been a integral part of both North Galveston County and League City for many years. There is a public building, a restored structure in the Spanish style, that is often used for weddings and receptions. There are covered pavilions for large gatherings with facilities for barbecue and tables for large groups. Throughout the park there are playgrounds, tennis courts, picnic tables and boat ramps. There is plenty of free parking everywhere in the park and the roads within the park are excellent. Restroom facilities are available and well kept. The park has many mature oaks trees and plenty of frontage on Clear Creek. At the north end of the park there are short boardwalks for a closer look at the creek and the surrounding wildlife habitat. The park is superbly maintained by Galveston County patrolled regularly and is a very safe place for family outings. We have spent many pleasant hours in the park with our children and now our grandchildren. There is a duck pond that is always a favorite with the kids and is home to fish and ducks as well as the occasional foul tempered goose. Throughout the year there are public events as well as the League City Fair. The park is the most beautiful park in the area, not as big as nearby Challenger Park, but much prettier. Plan your picnic by the creek in the shade of mature oak trees and have a great time. Park closes at 10 PM daily.
