Two-block Washington Park is the center of Brownsville’s annual Charro Days celebration. And Charro Days might be the only time you’d enter this desolate, grassy park.

Washington Park features a gazebo, a fountain, a bust of Mexican revolutionary Father Miguel Hidalgo, and a monument to Cuban revolutionary Jose Marti, but most are marred by graffiti. It’s not a very pleasant spot.
