    My greatest outdoor gym ever. Walking, running, leisurely walk to enjoy the water it's all here. I don't get tired of it, have done min 4 miles and max 10 miles at this park and love it.

    Cool park, plenty of parking too. I didn't see any mile markers since it was my first time there but it was a nice time. Police presence is a plus. I don't like seeing people fish. It's a man made lake so get a move on. They just creep there staring at people exercising. Will be going back for sure 🙃🙃

    This is my favorite park in West Houston! I walk here several times a week, weather permitting. I absolutely love the walking trails, especially the new trail that goes around the lake/retention pond. It's a great place to see a large variety of coastal birds that visit this park regularly.

    I see the lake every day on my commute, and it's lovely in the sunrise. But the park is convenient to nowhere that I usually go. But when I finally got a chance to take the kids there, they really enjoyed it. The playset is nice and mostly shaded. However, the real attraction is the long trail around the lake.

    If your lookong for a realitively long hike by a body of water along a consistently even and smooth trail, then give this public space a visit. In actuality, I don't have anything to contribute regarding the park specifically. Instead, this review is to describe how quiet, scenic, relaxing and peaceful the hiking trail can be amid this urban environment. The trail connects Bishop Fiorenza Phase II to McClendon Park, which is on the west side of Highway 6. The trail is a part of a larger network that branches and extends throughout more of western Houston. If you decide to go out for a leisurely promemade you're sure to see city critters living their lives harmoniously. Birds skimming the water. Turtles basking atop emergent lake tree roots. Squirrels gnawing at their forage. Dogs doing zoomies. Maybe even, a pair of ominous eyes gliding across the water. For a brief rest and a seat providing a broad vantage of this active scenery, I recommend a swinging bench on the hilltop. The view can't be beat especially when the sun is nearing the horizon. The beauty in the sky truly astounds. On that note, and as usual, be safe, be courteous, and as always, enjoy. :)

    I enjoy biking, walking and capturing the beauty of God's creation. It's clean and filled with other friendly people.

    Good place to walk, run, ride or roller blade. Would benefit from having dog waste bag stations

    Beautiful park. There are spots to fish at the huge wrap around lake, but be careful it’s not deep water and easy to snag. The play area for the kids is really nice, lovely walking trails, beautiful scenery and space to throw the football or play volleyball. I highly recommend this park. Everyone seemed very friendly!

    The park is really beautiful. The walk around the lake during the evenings is amazing! It's quiet, calm , and serene ! There is a kind of hill and you can go on top to see the sunset ! It's beautiful 🤩

    My daily dog walking place. Really well kept by the city crew, nice people and fantastic wildlife and scenery for inside the city. Some of the cyclist need to learn to call out before they pass, I watch out but a lot of people don’t and shouldn’t have too.

    It’s family oriented park or for some solo’s, you can relax, jog on trails, play at playground with your children, play sports and or exercise with your trainer and or self. It’s very tree shady too.

    This has been a nice family park for us for the past two years. The playground is kept clean and maintained and the walking trails have had no trash as far as I know. There is a constable deputy at times posted by the entrance for our safety and is sure to close everything down by dusk. My kids love visiting the playground and I like the small walking trail that surrounds it because the trees covers most of it and provides ample shade.

    I love this park its layout is perfect for a walk, jog or bike ride. Has playground, bathrooms and a sidewalk trail that is about 5mi that goes alongside westpark tollway park interior, connects between Eldridge Parkway through another side of the park via an underpass that goes under Hwy 6 over to the other side. Lakes add peaceful and beautiful ambiance.

    My husband and I come here frequently to ride our bikes. It's one of our favorite places because the trail is miles long. It also helps that the trail is paved so we don't get any mud on our bike tires. That's definitely a plus because of the rainy Houston weather. I like that along the trails there are stations with built-in equipment and instruction to do different workouts. There are several stations to choose from. The trail connects to what seems like 3 different parks. There is also a jungle gym for the kiddos. Overall, great place to do your workouts.
