Have you visited our Umbrella Alley?
The City of Baytown Tourism Division is proud to present the second addition to the Baytown Public Art Program: Umbrella Alley! This alley is located at 124 W Texas Avenue, Baytown, Texas. The mural that is going up on the walls is being completed by the Lee College Art Department and is still in progress. But that doesn't mean you still can't enjoy the beautiful umbrella canopy!

When you snap a photo of this whimsical alley and post it to social media be sure and use the hashtag #IHeartBaytown ! We love to see you enjoying the alley! Check out a few of these fantastic photos below.

Hidden Gems of Baytown!
The  Eddie V. Gray Wetlands and Recreation Center features a 900 square foot exhibit hall containing a variety of exciting educational live-animal and hands-on exhibits! Monday thru Saturday visitors are welcome to head inside and take a self-guided tour and enjoy all of the great amenities. An official site on the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail, and FREE to the public, the Wetlands Center aims to increase awareness, appreciation and understanding of wetlands, the environment and local cultural history. Exhibits feature baby alligators, a working beehive, nocturnal creatures, and more! The building is named after Eddie V. Gray, a local businessman and Baytown resident who first introduced the wetlands concept. Through grant partnerships and the City of Baytown, the abandoned building, formally a bowling alley, was purchased, restored and turned into the wetlands center. The Baytown Community has continued to enjoy its great benefits since 1998!
