8 Sights & Landmarks in Brownsville That You Shouldn't Miss
At the mouth of the Rio Grande delta and the southernmost tip of Texas, Brownsville enjoys the perfect combination of casual southwestern charm and bicultural diversity. Its position just across the international pedestrian bridge from Matamoros makes it a good base for day trips to Mexico, or for just enjoying the Tex-Mex culture of south Texas. Warm Gulf breezes, blooming bougainvilleas, gently waving palms, soft white sands and friendly, diverse locals make this city a semi-tropical paradise.

What a nice stop for history buffs or those nearby who would like a little walk. I really enjoyed it! The visitor center is closed (of course...), but park folks are on site to provide guidance and literature. The layout is simple and convenient and the story is balanced and told very well. On a beautiful day, it is a peaceful walk from display to display as you learn not only about the battle that took place here and the political context, but the flora and fauna.

We came for the parrots! We can't speak for the rest of the park, but easy to find/park and great spot to watch the parrots come and roost for the night. Lots of kids playing sports and on the playground, and seemed like a nice place.
