I'm not going to lie, as I was reading the reviews from Yelp and Google about Stevenson, I thought…read moreto myself, how can anyone call this park beautiful if it's stuck in the heart of Friendswood, TX? It wasn't until I got out of my vehicle and stepped on the red trail, walking, seeing so many dedication gardens in every area of the park. Who knew that Friendswood had its own flag to be flown so high next to the Texas and US flags? That is what made me feel that this park was a beauty, and I even thought of my surname park, Wilshire Park in Portland, OR. This park and that park can be compared to each other since both are surrounded by trees shading the path around the perimeter of the green space. Both have spaces for children to play, but Stevenson has added amenities, including the on-site pool, Texas native wildflower garden, splash pad, basketball, and tennis courts. The trail is 1/2 mile long, winding, and semi-narrow; when I am trying to tap into mindfulness, I tend to walk slower than a regular-paced person, and as I was walking, other park-goers were cutting me off to overwalk me and not giving me space when passing me up. I would have liked the path to be a tad wider in width to prevent this from happening. Nonetheless, it's still overall a solid neighborhood park and one would say a hidden gem. I wasn't expecting this place to be what it was and had a prenotion bias that it would have been like Frankie Carter Randolph and 1776 Park (two parks that I don't care for); but I am happy that it wasn't. Huge spacious parking lot with restrooms onsite. I think the artwork is from the same artist who painted bayou birds, natives, and animals at the Lynn Gripon (park in League City, TX) and Exploration Green (park in Clear Lake, Houston, TX), which is pretty cool if they are local to the area. I will have to add to this my list of parks to explore in the evenings and weekends!

They have four courts which exceeds anything I've seen in the city and greatly increases your chances of not having to wait. The courts are well maintained and each one is enclosed so you don't have to worry about going far to get your balls or disturbing other courts. There's plenty of parking right in front of the courts. And the park is open late. Really everything I'm looking for in a spot to play some tennis. If tennis isn't your thing, they also have a basketball court and walking trails. And there was even an ice cream truck making its way around the park the last time I was there.

If you wanna take your dogs to a crappy dog park come to this one..it's available. I wouldn't…read morerecommend it, but do enter at your own risk. The smaller dog park lacks a lot of things. One thing I'm failing to understand is just because a breed of dog is small, why make the section for them tiny?! I mean, they need space and room to run, play, jump, and socialize too! The larger breed dog park is huge--it's about at estimate a parking lot size whereas the smaller dog park is at estimate two guest bedrooms combined together. Now, the larger dog park had jumping activities, several benches to sit, and enough space. Though, the smaller dog park had one table with shade--two ladies crowded the table. Two filthy buckets of water with brown dirt caked on the bottom. It had dead flies laying in the water--plus it probably had all kinds of saliva from sick and healthy dogs. It was pretty gross. In both small and large dog parks, it wasn't no doggie poop bags. They were stone cold out! I had to give this lady two bags of what I bought. The park was pathetic. It was strange because it was workers there in the park and its not like they seemed to care about what the park lacked. I guess they were there for the money only. Also, back in 2012 when my sister and I came out with Pocky and his sister the larger dog park had a hole in the fence. My two babies got out of the gate onto incoming traffic. I'm not sure if they fixed that or not, but that was a huge issue. Now, the event Paws in the Park was pretty ok. They had a lot of vendors selling things: dog clothing, accessories, nail trims, dog rescue groups, doggie pool, and lots of dogs. The event is free with free parking. That's the nice. However. the park is crap. It was bare-minimum--not a great park at all.
