Amistad Park


We went again over to Bishop to check out another small park. This one has a walking trail around the perimeter. There is a field with one football goal, a volley ball net, and a backstop. There are three basketball courts with goals and new nets on the other side of the park. The playground toys appear to be new.

Bishop City Park

We decided to check out the parks over in Bishop. This one is on Business 77. It is quite nice for a small town. There are baseball, and basketball fields. There are several nice playground toys. The park needs some care. It looks like the last time anything new was added was in the last century. There is a very nice nature trail with bird viewing areas. The trail had just been mowed and there was still areas with very tall grass. I guess unusually wet summer could account for the really tall grass and unkept look of the park.

Los Hermanos Flores Park


We have moved to Kingsville. There are fewer parks in Kleberg county and will not take too long to visit them all. This park has a basketball court, several toys, swings and jungle gyms for kids to play on. It also has several lions. I have always liked the lion water fountain. As a child I worried that it might bite me while I drank. LOL

Kenedy Park


This is a small park on the corner of Kenedy and 14th. It needed to have someone come and mow it. The grass was very high. The landscaping needed to be tended to also. The park looks almost like an overgrown lot.

Thompson Park

The last of the three parks we visited on Sunday. We didn't wander around because of the number of people. I just took picture and left. There are many toys for kids to play on and a basketball court.

The Cabin

The family has relocated to south Texas. Here is a picture of the rustic garage apartment I'm living in for awhile. I didn't get a chance to visit all the parks in the Houston area. I will now be checking out the what is in Kingsville/Corpus Christi area.
