Indian Point

Indian Point Park and Sunset Lake park are connected together. We parked at Sunset Lake and walked over to Indian Point Park. Creepy bit of history, A mass grave for dead from the storm of 1919 were buried in the park, (bodies have been moved to a cemetary now) There are two boardwalks and a large fishing pier. Admission is a $1 per person/pole. We did not go out on the pier even though no one was present to take our money.
We saw a couple of dolphins out in the water. Looked like Flipper and a friend.

Sunset Lake Park

We drove over to Portland for the day. Sunset Lake park has a jogging and bike trail along the shoreline. We saw four pink spoonbills. Three were together as a group and when we returned to the car the fourth on was visible from the parking area. Many people were fishing along the shore. I even saw one guy fly fishing. Only time I've seen it is on the movie, A River Runs Thru It.

Bentsen Rio Grande State Park

We drove to the valley today to visit this park. It is a good place to bird watch. We saw lots of birds. The best was seeing three javelinas, an armadillo, and a big black snake. I was surprised to see the snake. I thought they were hibernating for the winter. This snake was laying out in the sunny part of the path. At first glance it looked like a stick.
We decided to walk around the park rather than rent a bicycle. We didn't see all of the park. According to my pedometer, I walked almost five miles. We plan to return to the park again and next time we will rent bikes.

St. Andrews

We were looking for a short cut thru a back street over in Corpus and came across this park. There is a playground with toys. One looks like a ship. There is a large open field that several people were playing fetch with their dogs. One guy was walking three weiner dogs. There is also a tennis court.

Labonte Park

The park is located in Nueces county. It is along the river. We walked down to the dam. It is an area that keeps the salt water from the bay from going up river.

Doddridge Park

The park is along Ocean Drive/Shoreline in Corpus Christi. It is a great place to just sit and feel the breeze and look out at the water.

Flato Park

The park is located in Kleberg county. It has a covered picnic area, a playground, and basketball court. I also found a homemade pipe hidden in a tree.

Hazel Bazemore Park

The park is located in Nueces county. It has several places for bird watching. There are a series of trails. It has many picnic tables that are along the river. It looks like a good place to go fishing.
