The Neches River and surrounding bayous play an important part in the life of the Coonie Triangle…read more It's odd that so few businesses and public spaces take advantage of this. Maybe it's because of the occasional hurricanes, I don't know. Riverfront Park tries to rectify this situation, and does so splendidly. This is a typical city park, with a large lawn area, many picnic tables, playground, lots of oak trees. Many houses close by, so I'm sure that it's used quite a bit by residents who walk there to relax. The hunny and I visited during the annual Riverfest. Most of the large lawn area was taken up by food booths and carnival rides. At the eastern edge was a portable stage where several hundred sat to hear Tauren Wells sing. And now for the five-star rating: It's on the river. Yes, this is a true waterfront park. There is a large parking lot with boat ramp, and a classic Southern riverfront restaurant on the other side of that parking lot. It was a treat to see the barges go by during the Tauren Wells concert. Riverfront Park took advantage of its setting with a boat show on Sunday. I'm going to go back there. One of my favorite dates with the Hunny was when we drove into the California Delta south of Sacramento, stopped at a choke-and-puke deli and got some food, then crossed over the levee road to sit on a dock and eat. No improvisation is necessary here, although if you don't go to the nearby restaurant, you'll need to bring your own grub. She'll love the setting. And you will too. Parting thought: it's not an easy drive from the freeway, and FM 365 does not lead directly to the park.

The coolest park! It's a giant wooden park with lots of spaces for kids to play in. Across the…read morelittle street is a newer playground but we spent so much time at the wooden one. It is right by the lake. Super clean, it is our new spot.

A small, but mighty botanical garden with everything free at your fingertips. This attraction did…read morenot disappoint. Upon walking into the garden, my friend and I were immediately greeted by one of the volunteers. She gladly gave us a map of the garden and asked if were interested in seeing a free movie to learn about the history of the garden and asked if we were wanting to go on the free boat tour as well. We gladly said, yes and was shocked that they so many payless amenities. I thought to myself out of all the botanical gardens I've visited over the years, this was by far the less expensive. The movie was fascinating. It was held in this big modernized auditorium. We were the only ones in there. Once the movie started, the room got really dark. Mr. Stark, a native and local of Orange, TX was inspired by the 1933 movie, The Lost Horizon (which can be found on Tubi), but Shangri La translates into utopia and paradise, so he sought out to make an impression in the small city by creating a place people can enjoy nature on 252 acres. The selection of plants are natives, annuals, perennials, some tropical plants (located in the greenhouses). The boat tour was a real treat! We were given instructions to remain safe on the water vehicle and put on life jackets. The tour was held on Adams Bayou where we saw ospreys, Christmas lichen on the trees, houses off the bayou, cypress trees with their huge roots, moss hanging from the branches, and even the bayou was filled with debris and trash. It definitely felt like we in a swamp. The boat ride was peaceful as the tour guides gave explanation of what we viewed. After the tour, my friend and I walked around the park observing all the beauties around. There wasn't a lot of plants in bloom yet, but nevertheless, the air was crisp and fresh. Great outing. They even have a restaurant/cafe on site. Shangri La exceeded my expectations!

April 18, 2024 [I forgot to check in]…read more But, we went to the sip & stroll tonight after the garden closed to release butterflies! Isn't that cool?! We paid $10 for a butterfly, fed it some oranges, and then released it. Wine from Free State Cellars was there, sandwichs and macarons were made by them, too. Fantastic! Now about this garden, it's beautiful. They have put a lot of work into it since Hurricane harvey... and are doing a great job in making it more lucious each year. LOVE this place

Very small state park, but I somehow like it a lot better than Galveston Island SP because it is…read moreless crowded. I read on everywhere to beware of the mosquitoes. I surprisingly didn't have to deal with any mosquitoes. What was very annoying was the plethora of flies. I sprayed myself and my dog, Sneakers in deet spray because they were relentless landing on us. Park staff was nice and pretty much hands off. I checked in and bought a magnet all from the comfort of my vehicle. I don't think you can walk inside the park HQ. There's only one trail which is under a mile long. It's a boardwalk that goes over marsh swamp with blue crabs walking below. Sneakers had a blast looking at the crabs. I had to stop him a few times from jumping down below to eat them. The parking is plentiful. I brought a picnic blanket, an inflatable dog bed, a small camping table, and my 2015 Yelp towel so Sneakers and I could eat snacks while watching the waves come in. It was very relaxing and peaceful. We both fell asleep on the shore until we were abruptly woken up by a family feeding the birds. It clearly states in the park map not to feed in the birds, but people are always out to break the rules. The water wasn't cold, but lukewarm. I saw several needles buried in the sand in various areas of the beach. Park rangers could do a better job at cleaning it up, but I'm sure they're more busy handling their day to day. I think Sneakers had a great time at Sea Rim with me. He got in the water and was swimming a bit until he got too scared to go into deeper water. Entry was free with the TX Parks Pass otherwise it would have been $3 which my friend thought that was too much money. It's not, but to each their own opinions. I had fun and will be back!!

We really enjoyed our stay. Park staff was friendly and gave great information. We loved our…read morebeach walk and successful fishing. Quiet nights to relax despite monster mosquitos. Take bug spray!

So you want to get in shape. This is one place to do that…read more What can you find at the Folsom Hike & Bike Trail? * Paved trail? Yes. * Unpaved trail? Only one short spur. * Hills? Kinda sorta; a mesa that appears to be manmade, and the only hill in Jefferson County. * Trees? Nope. * Views? Nope. Unless you consider looking at Folsom Drive to be a view. * Appropriate for a road bike? Maybe; it's only 1.4 miles one-way to a dead end. * Appropriate for a mountain bike? Maybe; I didn't see any signs prohibiting mountain bikes on the mesa. It's quite boring, though. * Streams or lakes? Nope. * Dogs? Yes. * Dairy Queen? Dollar Tree? Waffle House? Nope on all three. * Parking? On the small side, but adequate for the amount of use it gets. The Folsom Hike & Bike Trail is convenient for people on the West Side. And it works for my attempts to rebuild my cardio. And that's about it. If you want scenic diversions, or a course longer than 2.8 miles, go to Tyrell Park.

1.4 mile one way, then 1.4 back. One long trail. Not a loop. Nice walking track. No trees. Bike…read morefriendly. Has a parking lot. Porta potty. Air pump. Long concrete trail. Has doggie waste bags. No outdoor equipment to play on. A few benches. There is a little dirt trail that takes you to a hill perfect for watching the sunset. Kroger, HEB, Walmart and other stores close by. Nice place to walk. No lighting so be aware. Has had thieves break into cars. Lock car doors!
