Bay Court Park Amenities
Bay Court Park Beach hosts about 9,000 square feet of beach. This smaller beach not only offers a roped-off swimming area but also ramp access. However, there are no lifeguards on duty, so swim at your own risk. In addition to having picnic tables on the beach, visitors can also utilize the restroom facilities which are not too far away.
My girls loved the large wooden castle playscape at this park. Nearby picnic tables, plenty of shade, as well as restrooms make this an amazing venue. The structure includes traditional swings as well as a few baby bucket swings. There are plenty of climbing opportunities, balancing elements, in addition to slides and monkey bars. Younger guests can enjoy a section designed especially for toddlers.
The Burleson Nature Trail is a quarter-mile hilly, dirt trail through a wooded nature area.
This park also offers two pavilions (available for rental), a multipurpose room, and a gorgeous gazebo.
