North Beach Eco Park

TEXAS

Migratory birds aren’t the only ones flocking to Corpus Christi, Texas. With a goal to expand recreational and educational opportunities, the city recently began implementing plans for a 30-acre eco and birding park in North Beach that will cater to both their human and avian visitors.

In 2019, the city requested the National Park Service - Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance program (NPS-RTCA) to assist with the park’s design and organizational development for community partners. In collaboration with the American Society of Landscape Architects, NPS-RTCA held public meetings to identify community ideas and generate feasible designs for a migratory bird habitat with resources for recreation enthusiasts. Three park designs were developed from community input, resulting in a master plan for a park that will be home to healthy wetlands and wildlife, as well as trails, boardwalks, observation decks, interpretive signs and educational resources for outdoor programming.
