Then here a long time ago, it has changed a lot absolutely gorgeous. Could not get over it. There are tons of pavilions and barbecue pits smokers lots of different play areas a dog to fish off of a huge running course. It would take several trips to explore the whole thing thoroughly and still, I think you might be surprised to come back and find something you'd never seen before. It be a beautiful place to take pictures in the evening or to have a picnic date.

Really awesome park! I came here with my pup for a fishing day. Catch and release park that has a beautiful layout. There are picnic tables and sitting areas for those who want to enjoy a meal outdoors or just to relax with family. Awesome little pond/lake area for fishing. Definitely enjoyed exploring this park. Do recommend if you live close by.

Pond full of lotus plants July 2022. Been coming here since early 80s This park has had a lotus outbreak before many years ago and has seen many changes over the years. This is a very diverse park and is sure to find a interest for just about anyone in sports, hiking, fishing or a picnic. Wildlife can be seen here also something for the shutterbugs (camera people) . Thanks Roy for a great p

What a gorgeous and well kept park! With trees getting chopped down ever so frequently around here to build homes, it's so nice to come to a park that helps you embrace nature again and admire God's creations. The park is so large that it can accommodate so many visitors without it ever feeling packed. So nice for all of us to be able to enjoy this park without feeling like we picked a bad day to do it (Sunday). Parking was a breeze as well. There's a lovely lake for great catch and release fishing and many ducks and squirrels ready to be fed by a friendly patron. You can take a stroll, jog, or bike with a beautiful scenery on their various trails ranging from .7 to 3.23 miles long. Quite a few different playground areas for kiddies big and small, and nice grassy areas and picnics tables and benches scattered throughout. I love that there's a guy on a golf cart rolling around and making sure facilities and everything is up to par too. They have a large pavilion that can be reserved for a fee, and another gazebo area that can be used for nice gatherings/birthday parties on a first come, first serve basis. I'll definitely be coming back to relax, and maybe swing on the swings...never too old for that!

Great place to take the kiddos !! Been here almost everyday ' Both my kids play soccer and practice here !! I take my puppies but it's really not puppy friendly (always on leash ) I wanted to have a trail for a walk they don't It has a playground and many restrooms

Nice place, peaceful and beautiful. Suitable for walking around, barbeque, and fishing.

Burrough's Park combines all the best park elements into one. There's sports fields, playgrounds, a huge pavillion, a lake for fishing and miles of trails to explore. I've been here with large (150 people) and small groups and it works well for each of these occaisions. Definitely a hidden gem of the Harris County park system. They do need to work on their "hedge maze" it's pretty sparse and doesn't really work.

We loved it here! There's a fishing pond, plenty of playgrounds, and a huge dog oark! I was absolutely amazed! For my daughter, she loved to walk by the water. She did have fun playing on the equipment until some kids went crazy with squirt guns and water balloons, scaring my kid. The parents didn't care, either. The same kids were dumping water down the slide of the under 5 year old playground, despite being older children who really should have known better. As for the dog park, I liked the facility and the water fountains. The bathroom nearby was clean. I let my dogs go over from the under 25 pound section to the over 25, since there was one other dog in such a large space. My girls were overjoyed with the hiking sensation and exploration. While quite the drive for us, it was a fun part of our "daycation."

Nature walk! She's taking in all the stuff and things!

It has a dog park near the entrance/exit and lot of parking spaces. There are 2 huge covered area with the middle part being clean restrooms. I also saw some kids bday party taking place under one of the area and there were still places to sit that wasn't in their party. I love that it has turf and also some real grass, perfect for picnicking. But what we really enjoyed was the center of it all, the splash pad. Perfect for hot days and also the fact that they had a truck there selling ice pops and cold treats which made it extra worth it. Huge slides and play house, only downside is when I went the biggest slide wasn't in use. But there are more slides and do much more to do. We had fun and will be back ever so often.

You'll also see people hosting parties since there are spaces you can reserve. There's even a fishing lake, which is a nice bonus. We come here all the time and love it. There's also a dog park right next door.
