    That's another storey for another day
    Fox E.

    I know you may all think I'm whorey And I once stole Topanga from Corey But I've great information Regarding recreation Come right now to Arthur Storey Park! Let me tell you a storey. An Arthur Storey. This is an absolutely wonderful and underrated park in the West End of Houston right next to Chinatown and Vietnamese Town. You honestly can't get much better than Arthur Storey Park when it comes to public parks around Houston. In some ways we like it better than Memorial Park although there are much less gorgeous people using it - but it's quieter and more secluded and has some pretty amazing views of the surroundings, despite being right next to the Beltway 8. The view of the temple from here is amazing. And the food options around here are way better than Memorial Park. And way cheaper too, and within walking distance unlike Memorial. And the track won't mess up your shoes with red dust. This is a highly underrated park where we saw some really attractive people, but mostly it's unspoiled and undiscovered - and not what I was expecting at all. Definitely one of the better parks in town, and one which I will continue to come to on a regular basis in future. It's close to Chinatown as well, and within walking distance of all of the great Vietnamese and Chinese places. Like, 200 5-star restaurants and 20 great Boba shops and 30 great bakeries within a mile of this. In fact it's situated right between Chinatown and Vietnamese town so it couldn't be any better really. You have to watch for all the adorable little fuzzy bugs thoug, because you might step on them cuz they're always trying to cross the path - and it's kind of sad but I love them so much, fuzzy little angels. They crawl on my shoe and won't get off. And I love them and I love this park and that's all there is to say.

    Right off of Beltway 8 / Bellaire Blvd intersection, this park is quiet with a playground, a beautiful lake, and a loop for running and biking. The grassland area is well kept allowing for picnic activities as you overlook the lake or watch others run/walk/dogwalk/ride along the trails/loop. Parking can be difficult from 5 until close as the lot fills and you're driving around hoping someone pulls out and you can pull in. Getting here earlier is key. Weekends are more crowded with nice weather so plan accordingly. While there are better parks in Houston, this one will fulfill your needs of getting outdoors and being physically active.

    Walking trail - lots of shade
    Jen T.

    The grass was so green and healthy; no overgrown weeds invading the area. As we strolled along the trail, roughly a 1.7- mile loop, we met plenty of joggers and bikers passing by. There were collections of water, where turtles were basking in the sun and dragonflies speeding by. A fish flew out of the water, catching us by surprise. White herons also decided to join the party. The scenery was undeniably beautiful. The park was located by the highway and busy street, yet the ambience was astonishingly motivational and peaceful. Seeing everyone stay active on a Sunday morning was a very encouraging sight. People would also branch off the trail to do yoga or tai chi, finding their zen. Parents brought their children to enjoy the playground. Not to mention, this place is a good location for a date to chit chat and squeeze in some exercise. Benches were scattered along the way to take appropriate breaks as needed. Parking...so spacious. You won't have to worry about finding a parking spot. Overall, this is such an amazing park. I would definitely come back again.

    This lovely, yet quite park is located right off the tollway. It's perfect for biking, walking and running. All paths and trails are paved. The trails all circle a small lake that appears to be fed through surrounding bayous. The bird population is lively here, I counted as many as 50 birds, ducks, geese and other varieties of birds paddling and flying along. There is a small picnic area with several gazebos. This area is perfect for light strolls and romantic scenery as the sun sets!

    If you find yourself jonesing for a walk while you're staying in Houston's Chinatown district, give this place a shot - it's real close. It's just shy of a 2 mile loop and entirely paved. Waterfowl galore can be found at this park. Most of it is in the sun, but it's still good for a quick walk. There's plenty of parking and there are 3 entrances from the Sam Houston Tollway frontage road, so don't panic if you can't change lanes quick enough to get into the first entrance. There's a playground, a water fountain near the trailhead, bathrooms with running water, and shaded picnic tables with BBQ grills. You can do EET!

    I came from another town and love of nature to walk and exercise my dog but finding the trails that are behind Heb have found dump of toilets, broken chairs. Broken bottles, lots of trash. Also there are some homeless camping. I find it very sad. Trail signs with bullet holes. Some with gang graffitti. The trash in the lake in the left side. I just hope they take care of that.

    A local park with a big loop for a nice walk. I have been coming here for years whenever I need some exercise or nature. It's not the best park in town but it's doable. A good spot for a picnic. Nice playgrounds and swings for kids. Also a great park to walk your dog. Parking is usually manageable here depending on the time. It does get crowded at times but the park itself is pretty big. I would not recommend taking pictures for special occasion. The park doesn't have good sceneries. Sometimes it can get muddy in certain part of the park due to rain. After a flood or a hurricane, the park hasn't been looking so good. I've noticed a lot of trash and residue from the flood. In addition, they also have an area solely for tai chi, something you don't see at other parks.

    I love to take a walk around the pond on a very nice path. Many people were jogging and biking as well. Everyone there looked at peace. Also, what a cute tai chi court. I love when a big city takes time to make somewhere to walk safely for free.

    Turtles in the pond. Ducks didn't like them.
    Lou C.

    This is a place to enjoy the nature and recreation in the suburban neighborhood. Believe or not, Arthur Storey Park is one of the successful flood control projects in Houston since 2008. Once awhile, we get heavy down pours. Like the Memorial Day floods of 2015, it routed water from Brays Bayou to prevent area flooding. The low-laying trails along the basin could be buried. It's not a good idea to jog in a heavy rain. The entrances to the parking lots are tricky. When you approach the park, be sure to slow down and follow the entrance sign. If you missed the 3rd entrance, you have to come around the toll road and try again. So, who doesn't like the benefit of this 210-acre green space in your backyard? I used to walk or jog on the outer loop (3/4 mile); I could also make it a mile by adding the trails around the pond. Lately, my favorite pastime is to feed the ducks and turtles in the pond (watch my in-app video). The picturesque sunset and reflection at the pond make me want to stay longer. Like the Chinese proverbs said 夕陽無限好, 只是近黃昏 - the beauty of sun-setting sky doesn't last. If I had a real camera, I would love to photograph the wildlife. They are especially active in the galley and near the waterline. However, the "watch for snakes" signs got me concerned.

    I have driven by this park many times during the day and have seen different birds flying around so I thought I'd come and see if it was good for photographing. It's not. They do have a lot of birds - I saw herons, pelicans, and even a beaver there (I know, a beaver is not a bird) but since there are so many people walking around, except for the ducks, the more exotic birds hide in the little island in the middle of the water drainage lake so even a 400mm lens has trouble reaching them. Now I know, this park wasn't made with this purpose in mind and I think it's pretty great that the park's main function is to be a run-off for rainwater and prevent road flooding and it's turned into a place for families and such, but like most jacks of all trades, it's mediocre at being an actual park and trail. The problem is, they have a narrow trail that's for everybody - casual strollers, joggers, and bike riders. If you go to Memorial Park, people there know the unspoken rules of trails - slow-ass people stay on the right, ring the bell when approaching slower people, etc. No such rule here. This area is also a somewhat working class/poor immigrant neighborhood so the crowd reflects that (not being snobby or anything, just mentioning the reality) and I think the park is wonderful for the area and gives people who might not have a chance to go to other parks to have a place to enjoy a little bit of nature and fresh air. For me, I'm kind of a spoiled brat so it wasn't my cup of tea. Maybe I'm mad that my shoes got all muddy.

    Climbing Tower

    Arthur Storey Park is located on Beltway 8, right next to Home Depot. Since it's close to my house, I go here once every week. Although it's not exactly the cleanest park I've been to, it's one of my favorites! The track/trail is one of the best things about this park. It's a huge circular path, circling the park. Near the front of the park, there is a lovely pond. You can just sit on the grass and watch the peaceful ripples of the water--perfect for meditation. The path on at the back of the park is my favorite. You can walk/run alongside a river, where you will find baby fish and turtles if you look hard enough. There are numerous cylinder stools along that path. You can use these to sit and enjoy the air. What I like to do is use them for step-ups. Doesn't hurt that the water is so nice to look at. They have multiple playgrounds, which consists of 8+ wings, seesaws, monkey bars, slides, etc. If you have children tagging along, definitely let them try the climbing tower that they have. There is also a large grass field for sports and exercises. I use their small hills to run up and down for cardio. They have 2 small houses. One of them is located right next to a duck pond, and you can stay in it to feed the ducks. There are also many picnic benches, so if you want to have a picnic, this park is definitely it. It's perfect for barbecue. You don't have to worry about the sunlight since there are a lot of tall trees to provide sufficient shade. The reason why this park is not is a solid 5 stars (sadly) is because the environment isn't as clean. You'll occasionally find trash around the park. I tried their restroom once and never used it ever again. The locks didn't work and the toilets did not flush. There were toilet papers everywhere and urine stain all over the toilet. NOT a good experience. The parking lot isn't so bad if there isn't a lot of people, but do try to avoid their prime time (5pm-7pm). There will be cars literally blocking traffic just to wait for someone to leave. The parking lot is only enough for cars to park on one side, and you'll have to parallel park on the other side. It's really hectic and bothersome to get out during traffic time. With that being said, I enjoy this park every time I go here. I love the layout and even though I have yet to make a full circle, I intend to in the future!

    See all
