If you ever have someone deride South Of The Border as a whole as a washed-up, abandoned place, they're more than likely thinking of this part in particular. As much as I love South of the Border, Pedroland Park has seen WAY better days. But first, a bit of history. While I'm sure it was abandoned, there used to be a roller coaster here. From what I can tell wandering around the park, I don't think the roller coaster was the only ride that was taken down. However many rides this place may have had at one point, the only three attractions you'll be able to use are the bouncy houses, the playground, and the miniature golf courses. That's perfectly fine by me, as the miniature golf courses are probably the only thing that my age demographic would want to use. Lord knows when most of these motorized rides were last functional. The playground actually looks like fun, but the inflatable bouncy houses look rather worn out. For years now, I had wanted to play at the miniature golf courses, and I was told that this place is only open during the summer. My first issue is the limited window of availability, as the miniature golf courses did not provide a lot of shade, but you're only able to play at these courses out in the ninety-degree heat; which will only get worse as climate change gets worse every year. All the signage says that it costs $8 to access the entire park, so one positive about this place is that the attendant only charged me $4, AND because it is essentially an all-access pass, I didn't need to pay anything else to play the second course! The golf courses themselves are in rather rough shape, as one of the holes is SUPER DAMP AND WET, and a lot of them have torn up carpeting, and in some places, the AstroTurf is absent altogether, but you could tell it is supposed to be there! If that wasn't enough, the actual holes have weeds growing in them, areas with water flowing are dried up, and the places that do have water look like a good spot to get Cholera. The attendant did warn me about the quality, and I did know this going in based on other people's reviews and photos, but I was determined to play these courses someday, as I had wanted to for several years. Believe it or not, the poor conditions of the miniature golf courses were not detrimental to me or my score. The courses do not have any sort of par listed, and there is no scorecard, but I was still able to make most of the holes in three shots or less, and the course's roughness practically never interfered! But like I said, it was hot, and I do not recommend playing these two courses back to back like I did if it's going to be at least ninety degrees; especially when the real feel temperature was 101! I didn't ever feel nauseous, dizzy, or feeling like I was about to faint, but I think the heat did make my heart rate increase rather rapidly, and I could tell that I just NEEDED to get out of the sun; even though I was only out there for an hour. The two courses offered very little shade, and I had to rush through the second course a little quicker than I would have liked to, so I could get out of the heat ASAP. There is a vending machine with cold water in the park, but that only did so much, as I still went over to the gas station and bought a Gatorade afterwards, as my arms felt tight from what must have been electrolyte loss. Besides, the vending machine costs $1.25 for a drink, and it doesn't seem to like quarters, so bring $1 bills. I'd most certainly be willing to come here again and play the golf courses again, if they were open during a cooler part of the year.

Pretty cool park; the amusement park itself doesn't seem to be in operation, but even with workers and security in the area, nobody seemed to mind me walking around (there was a 'closed' sign in the lot, but the main gate was open). Interesting to see the inactive rides and putt-putt golf course (with one active fountain); looks like there's still alot to do in the area, but it's hard to say if the rides will open up again. Glad to see the Sombrero Tower open, too!

There is no way this place should be open. Personally I think part of South of the Border's charm is that it is a bit questionable, but this was awful. Our clubs were sticky (really really sticky) . Both courses had torn carpet (the pictures below are mild examples.. on most holes it was much worse.) There was either no water or filthy water. The bugs were terrible. Weeds were growing in most holes. Don't waste your money.

Nice place for walking. Park have mini golf and playground for $8(cash only). We just walking around, found free playground near hwy. Fun sculptures everywhere outside park. Shopping very cheap and big, have fun hat section ;)

They currently only have mini golf, 2 jumpers, bumper cars, and carousel running. + to the side a small playground! The workers allowed us to ride however long we wanted and were very kind! for 8 dollars it’s unbeatable and my kids had a blast! They have a lot Fun sculptures everywhere outside to take pictures by!
