This is a great day trip for anyone near the Houston area. It's a beautiful park with lots of trails to hike and bike. The Rose Bud Hill homestead and Akokisa site was well presented, very educational (esp. if you meet the keeper which we did) and a general pleasure to visit. It amazes me at what residents and early settlers did just for survival in the area. I'll be going back again.

Best park in the area! You can do so many things here! From biking, hiking, walking, running, exploring the homestead, turtle pound, fishing, canoeing.... playground and green picnic area. Stop at the nature center building and ask for their monthly activities for adults and kids or go to see the snakes. The staff is so amazing. Love this park.

It was very much a vibe out here walking in nature. The sun peeking through the trees. The gentle cool breeze brushing up against your skin. The birds carelessly chirping and soothing sound of the running stream. This park is more than deserving of the 5 stars it's getting from me. It was impeccably clean for a place that allow dogs, horses, and bikes along their trails. Eye even took my socks and shoes of to ground in the grass. Honestly can't wait to return.

Very peaceful. I come here after work to decompress and exercise. I love exploring here. I love the trails and scenery. I also love that there are absolutely no homeless people at this park unlike the rest of the parks in Houston! Thank you for being here.

Beautiful park with amazing trails. The park is amazing with plenty of seating and parking. Great for a family get together or just afternoon at the park. My only complaint is the "beach" area it claims to have. It was a small area that was extremely hard to find and I wouldn't take my kids back to. Definitely not a place to take your kids swimming. However, everything else there is amazing!

This park is lovely for a number of reasons, but my first is for scenery. Every blue moon I look to break the mold with images and this is it! There are so many vignettes and great pockets of sunlight... it's any photog's dream. Of course, it gets hot and humid. There's always plenty of bug spray and I actually keep a fan close. The only "downside" are snakes and spiders. Although, I found the snakes to me far more frightened than I was. So get creative with your images.

I enjoy walking and riding my bike on the trails. I haven't seen horses yet but would like to. Never too crowded and the few folks are friendly. I've seen singles - young and young at heart, and families. Like the distance markers.

Beautiful well maintained park. The trails are well maintained and easy to walk or ride bikes on. The parking lot is pavedish, I wouldn’t see a problem for any vehicle parking at the designated parking lots. The restrooms were clean and the park has a visitor center

Definitely worth checking this out. It’s a large park with plenty of running trials, a playground and picnic area. There’s a “beach” as well, surprisingly. You can go kayaking here. As for wildlife, I encountered two deer while hiking.

A lovely nature park with lots of space for picnicking. We especially loved the Cypress trail with the boardwalk over the water. Dont forget to use mosquitoe repellent!

Lots of really great well maintained trails! Awesome playground! Cute little nature center with snakes and turtles! No entrance fee! What more could you ask for!?!

Beautiful park with many trails. I recommend bringing bug spray as the trail near the swampy lake was full of tiny mosquitos that engulfed us. Self tour nature center was open also. It was small, but at least it was free. Certain trails do not allow dogs or bikes, but there are some that do. Many active people on trails. Watch out for those in the bike trails. Most trails are mostly paved, though they do have some dirt and pebbled trails. We were out of town and was our first time visiting. We loved it and hope to visit again in the future.

Amazing place, I've gone walking in different small parks in Illinois and California before but this one is calm and has a variety of paths to take. Just enough to make it a trip to complete 😁 You can even go to one of their restrooms before and after the walk. Has some nice picnic areas to choose from but it might be too buggy sometimes. Great place when it's drizzling a bit.

Once again, I recommend Jesse H. Jones Park & ​​Nature Center. We have hiked here many times and still cannot explore all the trails. Today’s ride was both efficient and fun. Where winding paths lead to secluded areas, there is always a stunning scene. We saw metasequoia and strange aerial roots, which were particularly charming with the autumn scenery. In terms of animals, we encountered pangolins on the roadside, great egrets by the river, and the bald eagle, the national bird of the United States. Since the photo was too far away and the photo was unclear, I asked AI to generate a photo of the bird and paste it on the photo.

I love this trail. It's safe and clean. There's always people walking, running, or biking. I sometimes skate, and it's easy on the cement. The ground keepers are always driving around. The trail is so long. Before you know it, you've walked 2 miles. The side gates close at approximately 19:30. If you get stuck, just go out the main entrance.

I really liked this place and planning to go regularly for cycling or walking there! I attached some photos FYI!

Lovely large park with well maintained trails and lots of wildlife even in winter. We saw lots of turtles at turtle pond, heron and other birds on Spring Creek, and heard frogs and other birds in the woods. We also saw a pair of deer crossing the main boat launch trail shortly before the park closed. There are trails for hiking, biking, and house riding. Facilities include a boat launch and a beach on Spring Creek. There are a number of ponds, including the aptly named turtle pond. Public restrooms are located near the nature center.

Great place in our own back yard of Houston Texas. They have bike trails, walking trails, fishing spots, and loads of educational things for you and your family to do. It is so easy to find. Load up the bikes, load up a basket of goodies, and just plan on sitting in the shade and enjoy the outdoors with your family, or even by self. The ground crew have been there a long time and they do very well at keeping the place manicured, and at same time keeping it real for the wildlife, and there are lots of wildlife to see. Just be patient and enjoy the memories made there.

6 miles bike ride with the family. Nothing like the outdoors and the family to really say we enjoy life. We visited the reptile display building, and Lucky let us pet her. The folks here were just amazing. I believe that coming to this places during regular week days is better than on weekends. Because of it we end up with a private tour. The kids where just loving it.

Peace, Tranquility and rustic construction all made beautiful and natural. Especially the equestrian trails. Come here to regain your sense of self, and get grounded. Away from distraction.

Such an oddly calming place to walk through. It is huge so be prepared for some walking. Some trails have sand so wear the shoes that you wouldn't mind having some sand in. The river is a muddy brown so not really photogenic but they offer canoe riding and you may see some wildlife. They have a small nature center with some snake displays of what you might find on your walks and more information on random community events. They have a turtle pond and a designated fishing spot. You can ride your bicycle on certain routes. Make sure you're also driving less than 20mph and bring your devices fully charged!

This park 😍 is the best 👌🏼 for me I love coming here 😍 everything is so beautiful and all the changes that was done to the park congratulations awesome job.

This park is so lovely! There were butterflies everywhere. We only visited once, and went straight to the playground, but in our short visit we loved our time here. I'm sure there is way more to offer. It was such a great time.

We went for the reptile open house. The entire team was amazing and their was a great amount of interaction. Afterwards we walked to the kids park which is a good size and very empty. Lots of cyclists on the paths enjoying the day as well.

Beautiful park and trails! I came recently for a PD. We were told a little about the park and were given nets and containers to catch bugs as we walked the park. I used to come here as a child to play on the playground, which as a child then I would rate highly lol.

Jesse H. Jones Park & Nature Center is an absolute gem! 🌳🦋 The moment I stepped into this sanctuary of nature, I felt an instant connection with the serene surroundings. The trails are not just paths; they are gateways to a world of tranquility and natural beauty. The staff here are fantastic – their passion for conservation and eagerness to share knowledge is palpable. Kudos to them for making the experience even more enriching! Whether you're a nature enthusiast, fitness buff, or just looking for a peaceful escape, this park has it all. The diverse wildlife, educational programs, and well-maintained trails make it a perfect destination for families and solo adventurers alike. Jesse H. Jones Park & Nature Center is more than just a park; it's a haven where nature and community come together seamlessly. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in making this place truly special!

Been walking this trail for two years now. The trails at the very end by the beach or reservoir are quite nice. But… I’ve noticed an increase of dogs and bicycles (on the Palmetto Trail, and Cypress Boardwalk Trail) with signs saying specifically that they’re not allowed. Perhaps park rangers or Constables need to patrol this area more and start writing these violators citations.

Very nice well kept trails. Nice fishing spots. Ample parking. Nice restrooms and playground area. My family enjoyed a nice Sunday hiking around here.

We love finding different Trails to walk through on the weekends. This Trail Connects to two other trail Locations that we've been on , and we wanted to see how far exactly We could go before Hitting The Creekway Trail😊.. these Trails are Perfect for Looping back around instead of having to walk to a Destination and then walk back . Has alot of Shady Trails🙂 This Park has Restrooms and actual Playground Park ..😉 We explore other Trails in other Areas, we do Come back to this Location Often 😎

We love going there to hike and explore nature. Our kids are bigger so we don't go to the park as much anymore, but we love going to the pond and feeding the turtles. Walking the edge of the pond, we almost always encounter snakes. We've caught various species here. Most recently we caught a ribbon snake and a red-eared slider turtle.

Great place to visit! Definitely recommend it. Hard to believe such a peaceful place can be found so close to a metropolitan area. Trails are nice. There's a creek at the edge of the park. Good for fishing.

what a nice place to relax there is a bit of everything the singing of the Birds the tranquility of the Beach, the Forest ♥ that provides its stillness and if you enjoy the Adventure also kayak bicycles, go experience it and you will notice the difference 😃😉😅
