What is there to see or do in Goliad? It looked like a "1 night park". What do you think?
Goliad is a great city. We used to live in Victoria, just 25 miles from Goliad.

There is a great hiking trail in the park. There is the Angel of Goliad Trail that takes you from the courthouse square, by the old Mission and over to the Presidio.

If you have bicycles you can ride through the park and in Goliad around the courthouse square. The Mission and Presidio are definitely worth seeing.

If you are a golfer, there is a very nice 9 hole course that is very fun to play, plus the green fees are very reasonable.

I would also agree it is a one night park. You can do and see all that you want in a day.
