Ransom Park contains a public boat ramp, parking, fishing pier, kayak launch, picnic tables, playground and restrooms. The area is also good for viewing waterfowl and boating activity.

The Ransom Park Boat Ramp is maintained by the San Patricio Navigation District #1 and is located at the end of Ransom Road. It is a well maintained facility within Ransom Park and offers a wide 2 lane concrete boat ramp with good loading dock and parking areas. The Ransom Park boat ramp provides very good access to the Intracoastal Waterway and Redfish Bay.

Short runs give excellent access to some of the best flats fishing in the area. The ramp gives good wind and current protection for loading and unloading boats and is a favorite on windy days to give easy access to fishing areas with good protection from the wind. Within the Joe Narvaez Recreational Park, there are public restrooms, a play area for children, pavilion, fishing pier and wildlife viewing area. A fish cleaning facility is a short drive up Ransom Road at the San Patricio Navigation District Marina.
