I have grown up around the Battleground area and have visited the facilities several times as a child. At that time, the services were free, but within the past decade or so a fee has to be paid to enter the monument and the battleground. To me that is not free. Free means for nothing, no charge. There are a lot of people that would love to experience the beauty and history that the monument and battleship has to offer but because there is a fee, a lot of people cannot afford the experience, and to me that is pretty sad that we have such a beautiful piece of history here and a lot of people cannot experience it. Therefore I feel that this entry should be taken off of the list for a free place to visit in Houston because its not.
