New Pavilion at Isla Blanca Park Adds Modern Recreation Facility
The Cameron County Park Board unveils a diamond shaped Recreation Pavilion at Isla Blanca Park with over 15 000 square feet, 42 piers, and space for 1000 delegates. It supports conventions, dances, art shows, and private events while a new Kleimann Fishing Pier nears completion in Andy Bowie Park with 700 plus feet of Gulffront fishing, night lighting, and a tied concession area.
