While scanning the map of my local patch circle I noted what looked like a park on Google Earth. I could find no info for it on the Pearland Parks website or Brazoria County website. On my way back from the TOS meeting I stopped and found it to be the City of Pearland Nature Park. This park is unmentioned anywhere online except as a description on a bond issue. The park is located just north of Shadow Creek Parkway on Kingsley Drive The park is a reasonable size with a very nice wetlands trail that I think has some good potential for migrant shorebirds. The east end of the park is a canal to drain the effluent form a sewage plant into Clear Creek, and there is a mowed path along Clear Creek with some good sized woods. I think the location will also have some potential for nontropical migrants. the signage is being destroyed by the sun, but the design of the park is pretty nice. There is a paved path about 0.9 miles long that is completely wheelchair accessible. the City of Pearland did a nice job with this park, leaving natural vegetation natural and planting some quality trees that should be great when they mature. If you live in the area I think this park deserves some patronage just so the City of Pearland can be encouraged to do other things like this the right way. This park has no soccer field, no play ground and no dog park. Its a nature park that should serve as a model for other cities. I added 10 species to my patch total at this park.
