Community Park Spotlight Sealy Park 206 S. Durant Street Sealy Park was deeded to the City of Alvin shortly after the City became incorporated in 1893 with a clause stating the property can only be used as a public park. The park was initially called “City Park” and later renamed. Sealy Park is currently 1.3 acres and contains picnic tables, BBQ pits, two swing sets, drinking fountain and many other amenities. Legend is, this park was once land purchased by Union Soldiers during the reconstruction period and ultimately donated to the City as a good will gesture.
