Splash, golf and play in East Brownsville
Families can swim together at the Margaret M. Clark Aquatic Center or stroll through history on the Resaca de la Palma National Battlefield trails. “Most people drive around here, but you’ll also see many walking with their families or their pets at the park,” says Azeneth Badiola, broker and owner of Badiola Realty with ten years of experience in Brownsville. “Most streets are pretty safe and walkable, too.” For some afternoon fun, the Brownsville Golf Center is an 18-hole golf course where children aged 11 to 17 can golf for a reduced rate. Ernesto Gamez Cascade Park is a small island splash park for kids and families, with a waterslide on the playground and picnic pavilions. There is also a basketball court off the island next to the Cameron County Drainage facility.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
