Very nice , well kept Nature Park that offers plenty of seating and viewing areas without having to walk miles after miles. In the evening Red Crowned Parrots come to roost in or just outside the park. A thick canopy of trees covers the trail and there is a nice pond with ALOT of turtles. […]

we are wintering in South Texas again. Last year we got very lucky with our neighbors as they were quiet,polite and non intrusive. This year we don’t seem to be that lucky.
