From its conception by Mayor Brantley Harris, inspired by the grand beaches of the Atlantic Coast, to its development with the help of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration, Stewart Beach has experienced pivotal moments that shaped it into an iconic park. Overcoming racial segregation in the 1960s and implementing family-friendly policies in the 1980s, Stewart Beach evolved into a premier destination with attractions like roller skating rinks, dance floors, and beach volleyball courts. Despite changing recreational trends, it remains a cherished spot with essential amenities and a rich history, making it a point of pride for the Galveston community.
