Pretty great park to come biking, fishing, walking, or even running if you like to do that. The day I came to this park, I was able to ride my bicycle without any problems as the path was smooth and not bumpy like the streets in Houston. From the outside the park looks OK, but once you continue to walk deeper you’ll find a giant lake with a cute little boardwalk and nice hills too. The scenery was definitely a plus which keeps me coming back for more views. The main thing I don’t like about this park is once you are deep within walking the park you’ll have to travel on the same path from the beginning to get back to your vehicles which is frustrating if you are near the residential neighborhood.

On my way here I was getting worried. I said to my cousin hey this place looks ghetto. When I got there. The park was amazing. The trail was great. It was a bit over a mile and a half trail. We saw rabbits everywhere and had a good time. Enough shade on the trail to where we didn’t even need sunscreen. Definitely one of my favorite parks.

This is a hidden and a huge unknown park in North Houston! The City of Houston recently added major $$$ to update/create this park into a stormwater detention basin. It’s about 112 acres and has over 7 miles of trail. It is a little difficult to find the entrance — I ended up finding a small entrance(about 6 parking spots?) on the northeast corner of the park on Orange Grove. I’m sure there is another entrance but that would require further investigation. You end up traveling through an old neighborhood — which is why this place truly is a surprise. The entrance however, smells because of local trash and residential dumping. Endure a bit of that and you’re completely surrounded by nature as you travel further in. Parts of it is shady as there is a trail for roadbikes(cemented path with road lines on it!) and dirt roads. When you are closer to the ponds(huge areas with people fishing) you can see there are little baby trees but definitely no shade there. The trail is great for biking — lots of hilly curves and enough room for both pedestrians and cyclists. For its size this place was relatively empty. It ranks as one of the bigger parks in North Houston, if not the most expansive. I will be returning with my bike and dog Bandit so we can freely roam around! Woof!
