Blucher Park

January 12, 2021 by randybissell

Blucher Park is an interesting and beautiful place that attracts the attention of nature-lovers, birders, photographers, and many others. A visit with “The Blucher Bunch” will reveal the natural springs along the creek – it is a neat spot!

Blucher Park is a great example of an urban park and green oasis located in an economically and commercially challenging part of our city. It is regarded internationally as a birding spot, yet not so recognized and valued locally.

Our first best steps as nature advocates, citizens, and TMN’s are to utilize and serve this site.

The Audubon Outdoor Club is a lead organization in stewarding Blucher Park. Their website is https://www.audubonoutdoorclub.com/

Here is a CC Visitor’s Bureau website: https://www.visitcorpuschristitx.org/see-and-do/317/blucher-park
