Confirmed from Bay Street Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Butterfly gardens, hiking trails, a soccer field and playgrounds at this family-friendly outdoor area.

Cute little park near texas city dyke. Trails are nice, good for walking. The butterfly gardens are pretty, although they were overrun with wasps when I last went though. Great for families, exercise, or just a calm walk.
