    Beautiful park. The park has pavilions, benches, grills, walking trails, lots playing fields, tennis courts, kids playgrounds and clean restrooms. The park offers, biking, walking, running, picnicking etc. There is a free zoo with wildlife habitat and aviary. Various types of birds can be seen here. You will find a duck crossing sign near the aviary. One time we saw a deer roaming in the park. Problem is in the evening there are a lot of mosquitoes. The authority should take care of that.

    I would have given it a 5-star rating except the fields are in poor shape for soccer. Two-thirds of the field has almost no grass or dead grass or bare dirt and the other third may have a little bit of grass here in there but the fields are very worn out. There are softball fields picnic tables Galore

    Pretty dang nice. Plenty to do and lots of places to sit. Only complaint is that one of the slides was broken with no caution tape.

    Very nice park! We went to a monthly truck show there at the end of the month on Sunday and it was very nice. Very big park with plenty trees and areas to run, picnic and just hang out and have fun! Beautiful park!

    A magnificent park with heaps of choices, for different exercises. Families can go there and have excursion, play, party. Kids park, immense parking areas, where, there, student drivers likewise can take a benefit with alerts. Huge green concealed regions to lounge around on substantial seats and relaxe. Trails inside the forest for nature darlings. Definitely a dynamite spot to invest your additional recreation energy.

    Two pickleball courts along with three tennis courts. Bright lights for playing through the night but be aware they will shut off automatically around 10PM. The pickleball courts may get crowded but if people queue up and allow up to four new paddles to get on next it works out well to allow for more even playing time for everybody.

    Such a wonderful place for picnics and large family gatherings. Lots of trees provide lots of shade. An abundance of BBQ grills are spread throughout. This place is huge! Plenty of parking and plenty of land. I suggest you get there early if you and yours are celebrating a major holiday. For this is a very popular spot. Although there may be families all around, animals included they're a pet friendly facility, there is so much space one barely notices. It's not crowded at all yet the place is full. Every family has their own territory and it is substantial, enough to have an Easter egg hunt or play volleyball or soccer or whatever floats your boat. There are restrooms and I noticed a pavilion that we brought our own canopies I think most people in Houston have them LOL. Hands down,I was really, really impressed! All you really need is your family, friends, pets, coolers, fold up chairs, shade if you want it and some food to cook on the charcoal. Make a day of it! We did. And there are playgrounds but we brought our own fun. I give it two thumbs and look forward to the next time.

    Excellent place to spend a pleasant day with the family. If you prefer to skate, bike, walk, play soccer this great. You can also take a book and enjoy your reading and nature

    A huge park with a long trail to jog. It has a park area for kids, and can picnic. It has an area with not many people for you to park your car and chill under the tree.

    A beautiful area to have a fresh walk and enjoy some food with family !!Not to mention the free and easily accessible area to visit some animals almost like a zoo!One thing is even though the park is very clean and appealing I hope they take as much care of the animals as they do to the park.Some of the parrots look very sad and there area not that clean .Besides the animals habitat the park is a wonderful place to be !

    This park is one of the ones I usually go to! It’s really big and has a few kid parks and swings.And I used to have parties here so much but sadly people have trashed this place to it’s point! When we went today and but as well every time before this it’s been trash on tables. And trash on the ground and literally everywhere.I really wish people cleaned up more after themselves but not everything can go our ways.Anyway it was really pretty out today and empty! Beautiful scenery so I took a few videos

    An awesome park with lots of options, for various activities. Families can go there and have picnic, play, party. Kids park, huge parking lots, where, there, learner drivers also can take an advantage with cautions. Large green shaded areas to sit around on concrete benches and relaxe. Trails inside the woods for nature lovers. Surely a spectacular place to spend your extra leisure time.

  • 3/5 Christann C. 2 years ago on Google
    This park has lots of space to spread out, lots of trees, and sidewalks. The down side is they need more benches, tables, trash cans through out the park. The restrooms are on 1 side of the park so if you are on the other side, you have to walk quite a ways or even drive for them. It does seem to be kept up well, not much liter and restrooms do work.

    Beautiful park to enjoy the outdoors, walk, gather with family and friends. It has many areas. It’s really big and that’s great! Only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the signage to find the pavilions is not good. They need better signs to direct the cars to the pavilions otherwise one will be driving in circles. It was difficult to find pavilion #6 not coming from Clay road but the opposite entrance where the war outside museum is located. But wonderful park otherwise.

    Family-friendly, pet-friendly park space with plenty of parking and multi-use pavilions and trails. The main trail is a 2 mile loop with restrooms in two locations. This park often floods after massive rains so check with the park to see if all areas are available.

    They have place almost all the birds and parrots inside so we weren’t able to see them I believe because of the cold weather , but kids were happy seeing the ducks ! It’s a beautiful big park where u can also practice tennis 🎾

    Decided for a group walk given the fantastic weather. Animals were cute. Seems to be new(ish) enclosures for the winged animals from the last time I had been there. Well kept and good display placards to teach about the given animal. A bit muddy but that's easily avoided as desired. Clean and efficient bathrooms. Plenty of parking. Picnic spits including a few covered locations/small pavilions. Baseball field, soccer posts, general open areas and playground make it ideal for letting the kids burn off some energy. Cops make the rounds but of course, don't leave high price things exposed. Nice area to mix up your walk/jog routine!

    Bear Creek Park in Houston is a true gem! The sprawling green spaces, scenic trails, and serene lakes make it a perfect spot for a peaceful escape or a fun day out with family and friends. The well-maintained facilities, like playgrounds and picnic areas, add to the park's charm. Whether you're into hiking, bird-watching, or simply relaxing in nature, Bear Creek Park offers something for everyone. It's a fantastic place to connect with nature right in the heart of the city.

    Had a really good time at this park. Went to go fishing and caught some nice ones. Had a squirrel come up to me with no hesitation, wish I had something to give him. It was a lot of caterpillars around. They were falling out of the trees and crawling everywhere. Made good for fish bait. Now there were ALOT and I mean ALOT of snakes. It’s spring time so please be careful. And what really surprised me was that the restroom was very clean. Will definitely go back

    This part gives me nature therapy! Such a huge part was so many options. Big open fields, playgrounds spattered around the park, animals on display in one section of the park, tennis courts, running track, baseball fields, pavilions to rent out for parties, restrooms all throughout. Give this place a try! There are two parts to the park connected by one road... Explorer all over

    Love this park. Bring cooler filled with water, gatorade, sodas, food, and bring the fun. Have our family field day here. There is so much fun rent. A gazebo has plugs or a tent and set up and have hours of fun. They have restrooms volleyball poles (bring your own net and ball)

  • 5/5 Hitomi G. 2 years ago on Google
    We enjoyed our first visit. It was especially nice to see lots of birds in Wildlife Habitat. There are athletic fields, picnic tables and paved paths for walking.

    The way this cockatoo put on a show for us by mocking, "hello", "I Love You" and it added a lil cat call whistle as we walked away... had us entertained for at least 20 minutes! He's even plotting for his escape by trying to unscrew the bolts on his cage.

  • 4/5 Musuva W. 1 year ago on Google
    Love it here, the park is huge and have different sides that can access from different entrances. The other side used to have animals but when we went there again, there were none. Some slides were old and rusty. Still would go for a walk or for the kids to play outside

  • 5/5 Maria J. 1 year ago on Google
    We come here for select ball tournaments. Decent fields, lots of parking, lots of trees, decently maintained restrooms, birds, donkeys and little horses, nature to look at, tables, benches.....it has a variety of things to do.

  • 5/5 Layne L. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a beautiful, clean park that has great facilities for any size cook off, fish fry or boil. Would highly recommended to have any kind of function there.

  • 5/5 Valerie S. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful spacious place in Houston for a picnic and a hike ( lots of mosquitoes in the wooded trails in April but still a very nice walk)
