The biggest highlight is the herb garden; I just love the scent that the garden gives off..its so refreshing. The play area for adults are just two swings near the children's playground. Sitting areas are all throughout the forest which is nice for relaxation. The only thing I had a problem with is the racial profiling I received from an Asian family; it was beyond disrespectful and I wasn't doing anything wrong at all. I was just walking to the swings and these people suspected that I was going to steal their children. Now, the Caucasians here didn't give me a problem; they were actually pretty friendly.

Located on FM 2351 in Friendswood, this park is small and has few amenities. If you are walking or…read morerunning along the outside edge of the path, you will cover approximately one mile. There are many areas of the path that are slightly uneven. The asphalt is starting to show wear and tear. There are not obvious pot holes along the running area but it is slightly uneven. Pay attention to where you are stepping so you don't end up with a sprained ankle. There are some parts of the path where you will be walking on the road. If you are not walking or running, there is a playground area and a multi-purpose field. There are also pavilions that can be used. I would assume they can be reserved but I do not know that for a fact. It is dog friendly but is not considered a dog park. All pets should be kept on leashes. Bottom line: A decent urban park located in Friendswood. Decent running trails but are starting to show their age. Could use an upgrade. Upgrades could result in more stars. Until then, I'll give them three stars.

Hmmm, I seem to be a fan of the parks lately. Which isn't a bad thing! Webster has some really nice…read moreparks; I wish I had realized that sooner, but now that I am running more, and looking for different places to run during my longer runs, I have stumbled across this little hidden gem. I always knew it was here, and we actually stopped by here one year around Christmas time as they decorate the little gazebo with white lights. It's very pretty, and very romantic, but after that time I sorta forgot it was here. Yesterday though I was on a long run and decided to see if this park has a running trail. And it does! It's only 1/4 of a mile but a lot of it is shady (nice!) and I love the surface! It's not gravel like Texas Avenue and it's softer than asphalt. It feels like the surface that's on an actual track. And bonus, there's NOBODY here. If you want a quiet, solitary run, come here! There was one lady and her young child at the playground area and as I was leaving another runner came along. That's it. Maybe it gets busier later, or at different time, I don't know. Now granted, this is a small park. No bathrooms, no water fountains, and just a couple little playground areas. But lots of picnic tables and benches and the nice gazebo, and of course the little track. But for a nice little quiet run in a nice little quiet neighborhood, this is the place to be! I know I will be back!

They were kind of disappointed with the size of the playground. Pales in comparison with Challenger 7 Memorial Park. Just one medium/large play structure with two slides and some monkey bars. Maybe one step up from what you would find in a typical neighborhood park. But has a lot of soccer fields and covered basketball courts. And it appears to have a retention pond for fishing. However it's not properly enclosed and the sides are rather steep, so keep an eye on the little ones!

I was introduced yesterday by my sibling. I told her that it reminded me of Arthur Storey park, but it's almost like a miniature Buffalo Bayou with the plenty of watering holes that you can go fishing, but it's catch and release. The walking trails are a bit of a labyrinth with it's different directions. I'm sure you can burn off all the calories your heart desires. There aren't any physical benches, but use your imagination; sit on a rock along the water bank and watch the ducks, but don't allow your children to taunt the innocent creatures. I like how the trails aren't linear slope, but some of the paths are a bit steep, but not too much. Easy level of walking across the board. The parking situation is a bit awkward with two lots that near the curve, but there's a full parking lot that can hold a few vehicles. There aren't many shaded areas so bring plenty of water and wear sun blocking clothing if you have sensitive skin in this Texas heat bath!
