Reviews
"Its part 2 of another battlefield around 10-15min aways. Its practically a loop to walk around in. Not very big and not much if an exibit to look at. Its a loop."
"A beautiful field bordered by a rescan. We went on a weekend and we had the park to ourselves"
"Another incredible piece of history right in the middle of Brownsville. Literally a 10-ish minute drive down the road from the Palo Alto battlefield in north Brownsville, this site is kept in just as excellent condition. Considerably smaller than palo alto but the scenery is just as good. Highly recommend to everyone to visit this place, great piece of history here with lots to learn!"
"Awsome park, I've driven past it so many times but I finally decided to stop and was not disappointed, good place t.p run or bike or just take in the scenery."
"It is hard to believe that such a lovely place was once a battleground. I highly recommend anyone who appreciates our country to pay respects to this place. Walk the 30 minute path and read how soldiers from Mexico and the US fought for what they believed was right."
