    Beautiful park with a lot of potential! Trails are quiet and serene with plenty of trees and fresh air. There are plenty of spots to park and benches to sit on. Entry is free! There are courts for various activities like basket ball, and a small pond to fish in. Great spot to jog or ride bikes as well. Biggest issues for me were that the bathrooms were locked, so we couldn't use them. Fountain was broken and continued to run, wasting a lot of water. There was also a lot of garbage and bottles. The pavement was cracked and looked unmanaged. Lastly, there were dog droppings everywhere, and not a lot of stations that provide dog bags. Over all, park has a lot of potential! Just needs a bit more maintenance.

    I really enjoy this park! There are areas to play soccer, a small community garden (closed when I've visited-possibly due to COVID) and lots of trails to explore. There is a good amount of trash in some spots...but that is not the park's fault - obviously. I wish people would clean up after themselves. We've explored the trails a couple of times now...around 2-3 miles each time and have not finished exploring the entire park.

    Wetlands Park with soccer fields, basketball goals, playground, and trails to walk on. Word to the wise don't go down the power line and gas line trails.

    Beautiful park, lots of trails. Was disappointed the splash pad wasn't on during a very hot weekend. The bathroom was open, but bring your own toilet paper.

    There are trails and they have bathrooms with plumbing now, there isn’t too much shade, but there is some around some table. They e got a splash pad that is so much fun, we spent an hour closing up some fountains and the pressure would make the others so way higher. We had so much fun and the area was clean. Parking was easy too, but there aren’t many signs.

    Next day after the pond got stocked with 500 rainbow trout. There on the edges thick hitting the smallest of baits. Lucky enough to get me a limit. Think I'll come tomorrow morning for another

    Last week my sister and I went walking at this park. And someone broke into her car. I don't feel safe here. The cops did nothing about it.

    Do not come to this park ! As peaceful and quiet it may seem there has been a lot of vehicle break-ins including mine after 3 months of coming .

    This Park has a "decent " bike /jogging track. The area/environment is clean & well maintained. However, there are sections that are "isolated " stay alert .Always be aware "criminals " have no boundaries. I'm not concerned, personally, due to the fact that.....I'm armed.

    Had a great walk with my pups untill we hit a fork in a path that was completely covered in broken glass. Had to carry them and dust tiny shards of glass of their paws.

    Restrooms were closed. The trails were okay but could be better maintained.

  • 3/5 Jacqueline H. 2 months ago on Google • 52 reviews New
    Decent park but in much need of some maintenance. The blacktop path is washing out. The non-paved paths are also washing out. It doesn’t seem like any effort has been put into this park in years. And there was trash everywhere!

    Not much of a park. We brought our two dogs there to get some exercise. There is a walking path, which was nice to have.

  • 5/5 Josue C. 9 months ago on Google
    This park is kinda like a hidden gem very quiet. Perfect for a run or a little meditation and a lot of space to play football soccer. Also saw a couple doing yoga under the trees wich provide alot of shade too. Parking is great there are alot of different places to access the park from. Theres a neighborhood next to it so you might see some stray dogs but we didnt have any problems with my pup. I didnt get to see the whole park because she got really tired the trail is kinda big but i did notice what seemed to be tennis courts. A few picknick tables and i think the trail is good for biking as well. I will be coming back to explore the whole thing.i did not see any restrooms tho but if i do i will post it. Also bring water we got super thirsty n didnt see any around.

    Love the wooded trails at this park. Houston parks needs to provide a bit more amenities. However, it's a great place in Houston for a quiet Walk/run/bike ride.

  • 3/5 Jennifer M. 2 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Lavon C. 5 months ago on Google
    Such a huge green park. But I didn't feel safe to walk in at all...I was lucky to have a trained Pitbull

  • 5/5 D'Quincy R. 1 year ago on Google
    Hike and bike trails are wonderful. There's something for everyone here. Get out there and experience fitness and nature.

    Had to get my dog neutered at that park. Very convenient for me to go there. Didn't get to visit anything else at the park.

  • 5/5 Karla R. 1 year ago on Google
    This park is great for jogs and runs. Trails are nice and long maybe a good 3 miles.Has a soccer field. Splash pad. Great for kids in the summer. Good shade.

  • 3/5 Cameron 9 months ago on Google
    Went in June and there were lots of mosquitoes and there were stray dogs. Seems like a nice place if it weren't for the bugs. Picnic tables and walking paths that are flat and easy to bike on or push a stroller.

  • 5/5 B J. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice because it's close to home. Pretty basic but we had some fun on the indoor soccer style courts outside.

  • 5/5 Tellecia H. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and quiet. Many people go, park and enjoy the peacefulness of the area.

  • 4/5 Emanuel A. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere, but not enough parking at times. Good thing is that is hidden, and not always busy. Really great for the soccer community, since there are small soccer fields that have been provided for the Dynamo and Dash.

  • 5/5 Christine M. 1 year ago on Google
    Park is clean. It has many parking areas throughout. Walking/jogging trails, basketball court, clean out house potty. Soccer, football and baseball fields. I believe I see/notice a new piece of the park each time I visit.
