Galveston Parks & Recreation

Nice little playground here. Lots of little things to climb on but not the most impressive playground I’ve ever taken my daughter to. There are some slides and a small swing set also. Not that much in the way of seating areas so expect to stand a lot or sit on the playground itself.

I go there for the Thursday evening outdoor summertime concert series that promotes some very good local bands. Fun for the whole family! Bring your dog, on a leash, of course. Bathrooms? I think you use the port-a-johns on the Seawall because I've never seen a bathroom. You'll be sitting on the lawn to see a concert or shooting some hoops on the basketball court by the auditorium. Walk north a few steps, and you will find a Skate/BMX cement park with deep pipes, a playground with a water feature, picnic tables, an outdoor work-out facility, and an off-leash dog park.

Great venue for a concert, a quick cool off for the kids in the splash pad, great basketball court and even a skate park...all with a view of the Gulf and a great breeze

There are too many people leaving trash! If you leave trash, YOU are trash! It'd be nice if the water in the splash pad stayed on til dark instead of going off at 7:00

I was in Galveston for a reunion of my submarine crew. The submarine was called the USS Hawkbill (which is a turtle) and therefore we posed for a picture in front of the mural which has a sea turtle theme. All I can say is that it is peeling badly. Could use some attention.
