    This park is getting better and better each year thanks to Commissioner Adrian Garcia and team. Bike trails, well lit pavilions and lots of wooded areas perfect for family picnic. Highly recommend if you haven't been there!

    This park is behind the courthouse! I’m sure a lot of people confuse turning into North Shore Park but just know you enter as if you’re going to the courthouse :) very spacious and a lot of shade! This park is mainly tailored for toddlers-5 year old. There is also a trail you go to for walks or a jog!

    Sure would have been nice to have known that the playground was completely torn down before I planned to have a birthday party there for my grandson. Finding out the morning of really sucked. Hope the new one is as good as the one that was there. Not wimpy like some of the newer ones that are being built.

    This park is a great little nature paradise in the city. The playground is beautiful and new but was definitely hoping for more slides.

    Such a great park! It has bike trails, nature trails, as well as play areas for your kids to play! Also includes slides and swings. I wish we had these types of play areas growing up. πŸ˜‚ We took our doggos for a hike and they loved it! They also have soccer fields and baseball fields that you can play in. There are also restrooms.

    Really nice park with places to play, picnic, hike and bike. Very well laid out and easy to navigate. Clean. Good for the entire family. I really loved the military flags suspended in the trees and the boards available for art.

    Mountain biking was nice before. But now it's like no one it's giving maintenance to the trails full of leaves, alot of tress that fallen on the trails and have covered the bike trails, there's another downhill trail by the bayou that is non existence no more. You cannot see that trail. And it's been a while that there's zero maintenance on the trails. Also the bike pumps are no longer working . Who do you talk about the maintenance?

    This is a REALLY nice little Harris County Precinct 2 park hidden behind the courthouse annex. Bring your mountain bike and ride or come and run the new trails being built by Operation Yellowbird Veterans, North Shore Rotary & Commissioner Adrian Garcia. Find a trail and find the beautiful United States hanging flag.

    I been walking and running around the park for the past week, and I love it ; park has many amenities like playground area, walking and running trails, small grills, tables and small pavilions to gather up with the family. Also has a great views all around the park. The only problem I see is that the restrooms are always close I don't know why but they are always close so if you are going be prepared for this...

    Nice park with lot's to do and see. Be aware, Google maps does not have the correct directions. Parking lot is accessed through the court house & police station parking lot.

    The fitness fest was really nice, but It was very short. More of the county personnel and family could have been there if it was extended with more activities.

    Great place to enjoy the woods and access to a bayou on the east side of Houston. Also plenty of picnic benches and grills. Playground currently being renovated. Connected to North Shore Park, which has a nice playground, soccer fields, and great picnic spots.

    Lovely park and nature around! 10/10✨ Events under their pavilion are great! There is lots of space to host an event with many people! The stage is a plus to book live performers for any event! The restrooms are quite a walk from the pavilion but during events there are sheriffs nearby that are available if needed for any emergency or protection!

    The park overall is great. It was our favorite until they tore down the playground, my 4 year old was disappointed and said it was now boring and wanted to go home. The big slides were a huge hit for family gatherings and our kids of different ages. I wouldn't have one there again. Instead of tearing it down the could've cleaned the creek that is very dirty with trash. I will however definitely enjoy getting some hiking done with my dogs.

    Beautiful park to sit for lunch, let kids play or go for your daily walk or run. The park is clean, however I did see stay dogs hanging out and sleeping on the outskirts. That may not be a bad thing 😊 overall a very peaceful experience.

    I absolutely love this place. The scenery is beautiful, there's lots of pavilions, regular maintenance on the park. Perfect place for a jog/walk. It is also located right by the courthouse, so it always feels safe.
