map to Walter Hall Park
The Walter Hall Park Pavilion is located in Walter Hall Park in League City.  It's about one-quarter mile north of FM 518 on Hwy 3 on the west side of the road.  Look for the Spanish style arch over the entrance to the park.  The Pavilion is just inside the park to the left.  There is plenty of well-lit parking.
