open 6am - 11pm, a free skate park is located in the City Sports Complex. It features a poured in place street section with boxes, moguls, ramps, a large pyramid, a 3ft tall horseshoe with coping, a 3 ft tall bump, 7 stair jump with a rail, and a gap. A three tiered bowl of 3, 4.5, 5, and 6 ft. walls (the 3ft bowl cascades into the 4.5/5 ft. bowl, that cascades into the 6ft bowl) provides bowl carving 'til your (3's content. Usually the locals, adults and kids of all genders, don't skate until after 4pm. If you want the place all to your self, get there before 4pm, or early on a weekend. Don't be surprized to see a world class pro skater or two skating there. It's not unusual for pro skate teams to make a detour to Victoria to skate this park as they go between Corpus, San An or Houston and New Braunfels. SPA made this park so you know it's world class.Victoria, TX parks and rec. Youth Sports Complex has a bathroom near the tennis courts, and occasionally some port a johns near the skate park.

After being cooped up for so long during the pandemic we decided to take a road trip to Victoria. The map on my phone kept sending me to the wrong place so I had to call to see if the museum was open. It is on Victoria College campus which also shares the are with University of Houston Victoria. There was not a vehicle on campus due to the shutdown so it was kind of creepy. Luckily they were open and we were the only visitors at the time. The museum is small but has enough history to keep your interest. There are artifacts from early area history dating back 13,000 years such as dart points, atlatl, stone knives, example of straw house that early settlers used and much more. There are also some iron cannons from a La Salle expedition in 1685 that were buried in a lost settlement called Fort St. Louis. These cannons were recently found in 1996. We enjoyed our visit here.
