    I absolutely love this park! It's secluded in a nice and peaceful neighborhood. I came with my mask on since the corona virus is still circulating. I didn't realize how big the park is until I walked around, but it is huge! There's areas for bbq's, volleyball games, play grounds, fishing, hiking, biking, picnics, and so much more. It is truly a beautiful sight to see. I sat with my friend to play some cards and eat some take out. We ended up finding several hidden trails in the neck of the woods. Very fun, but don't go alone! This park is definitely a hidden gem.

    I have to say... ANOTHER NEW FAVORITE PARK. Unfortunately it is quite a drive from the Katy area but loved every minute of it. This park offers a beautiful trail to walk.. no bike riding allowed (which makes me love this trail more bc bikers can be annoying when trying to enjoy a hike or walk.. sorry, not sorry). Catch and release fishing here as well.. yay!!! A new fishing find is always welcomed. So excited for when I can throw some lines out here. Little man made lakes throughout the trail with small man made waterfslls. When you first enter you will see a sand volleyball court and a playground for the kiddos. There are a couple of games around the trail as well.. one is corn hole and another is horse shoe toss.. thought that was pretty awesome! Beautiful bridges and piers that you can fish off of.. small gazebos to sit and eat lunch with swinging benches.. THE LIST GOES ON! Absolutely LOVE this park and everything it offers. Glad to share it with others. Definitely a great day of exploring more of Texas parks!!!

    This is the most peaceful park I have ever been to. It's a hidden gem! Great to go solo or with the whole family.

    Hidden gem!! I am so glad I decided to come to this park. There are beautiful manmade ponds, it's quiet, and the squirrels are friendly! I had some trail mix handy so I was able to feed them walnuts and pecans. The park is very clean and there is a large track to walk, run, or jog on. I also noticed that people can have celebrations there, the park has gazebos, corn hole, a volleyball net, and horse shoe stations. I am looking forward to going back!

    Amazing 60 acre park with four fishing lakes and plenty of trails for walking paved and unpaved!

    Perfect day with nature, wildlife and serene greenery. Kids area is great too. Clean restrooms. Not crowded.

    A beautiful pond.

    This is a true oasis in a cement city. I feel safe and joy the moment I walk into this park. Most here treat it will and want to make sure it remains well kept. Definitely a wonderful place to get away from the daily grind and back in tune with yourself.

    CALLING ALL NATURE LOVERS!! Ducks, lots of trees, 3 lakes, a walking trail, restrooms on site, grills, tables a playground and a sandbox. What more can you ask for? Oh, there's also cameras onsite and when it gets dark, the lights on the bridges automatically turn on as you walk up to them. So I feel really safe. I AM IN LOVE! :) At this park, you can walk the track, or sit on one of the benches or bench swings or at a table and just enjoy the nature. You can sit at the tables and grill with your family & friends. But the only downer is that there aren't a lot of tables and grills. You can also bring your kids here and let them enjoy the park. Or you can come out here and go fishing. It's in the back of the Cypress Lakes neighborhood and one side of the park is lined with houses (the back of their houses face the park). It has a small parking lot with about 15 spaces and is never full. Ahh, I just love this place!

    First time I went to this park my gps made me go past it twice, finally when I made it and actually found out where it was. The park was really nice and quite, fishing and walking the trails looking out at the lilly pads. I take pictures of my clients here and the pictures come out beautifully. Their are two playground one for big kids and one for toddlers, floor is padded. There is a nice bit of parking as well.

    Beautiful park ! Has a playground, bike path, running trail. The only thing that is missing is a splash pad. I am unsure of the situation with the Pool and tennis court.

    My wife and I come here about once a week to walk on the trails. The nature center itself is great…read moreand have a variety of native animals to see. Great to see them helping out injured birds that could not survive in the wild. Exhibits are educational and the staff are very helpful and willing to answer any questions. The trails themselves are nice. You have the bluegill lake and then wooded trails. The trails are different lengths so you can choose how far you want to explore. A hidden gem in the spring area.

Been here so long ago for a walk and didn't know there was an actual center for visitors to walk in and it's free to explore. My first family visit here, we went on a walk around the trails, where we saw wild blue berry bushes and lots of turtles In the pond. We took some amazing photos. Then I kept telling people about the trails and the ponds and my nature experience. Some days I'd go here and just sit for a while listening to the sounds of the wild. Then one day I went just me and my daughter and saw parents and there kids going and coming from the building and I decided to go see what's there. It was the best idea ever. For the hot days it's so nice to be in nature but still indoors and learn about cool rocks animals and even see and real insects and animals. My daughter loves this place just as much as I do. Great for homeschoolers who wants to learn about science. There are all different types of insects you can view under microscope and some to see in real life, there is a reading nook, building blocks to resemble habitats, aquatic animals and birds. There's also some reptiles that I love to take pics of. It's like a hidden gem. So much to explore, even if you can't make it in time for the nature center which closes at 4pm Tuesday to Saturdays, you can walk or bike around the ponds and see the trail maps for different routes. There is also a kids park.

    This is my Lulu favorite place to go. I've never seen a park so big. There are two sides that…read moreexpand across the street, and what I found out recently is that the schools used this park for soccer games and baseball. Now, that was a pleasant surprise for Lulu and me last Saturday. We stayed sitting at one of the tables, watching the games. But there's more here; it's a children's playground, several trails throughout the wooded areas, and the paths are cleared of debris. It's a really clean park, the tables aren't stained. There are plenty of garbage cans throughout. It's plenty of parking; even on Saturday, when the park was packed, we still got a place. I like that the big trees block out more of the sun, giving Lulu more time to enjoy her walks and being nosy. As you can see in the picture, there's a little bookhouse, and I bought some books the other day to drop off. That's the least I can do, my way of apologizing to the ducks and turtles for Lulu barking and wagging her tail at them.

    I use to hike at this trail for about 3 years consecutively. I loved the scenery and the nature;…read morehowever 2023 was my last time attending this park because there's a lot of snakes there since the park connects to Cypress Creek. I was hiking alone on a trail once in 2023 and a light green snake rose from the ground and intensely stared at me. This snake was taller than me and I'm 5'6 for reference. The specific trail I was on was connected to the playgrounds. This was a terrifying and honestly traumatic experience; but I wanted to share my experience as a warning because I know lots of people bring their kids and pets there. Please be safe if you choose to go; but no matter how beautiful it is I can't recommend due to safety issues concerning the wilderness. I only walked away from the snake incident unscathed by the grace of God.
