I came here for Sunset Bingo to take advantage of the nice (rare late spring) breeze, well-maintained greenery, and amazing prizes available. The Michael Jackson playlist serenading us from the Gaspacho's eatery was nostalgic. Even though the Sunset Bingo MC was difficult to hear while seated on the grass, the staff were more than willing to rearrange some tables to accommodate the growing crowd. On my way to the (super clean!) restroom I I saw that they had a reading room, which made me instantly fall in love! They also have an arts & craft station with materials free to use. There were many families with young kids enjoying the water playground areas. The fact that they have family reservations available lets me know that this park is well aware of its draw and appeal. Birthdays? reunions? book a spot! The nearby restaurants and easy parking are major pluses. Levy Park has a packed calendar of events so I'm bound to be back before the summer ends. read more

Always an amazing adventure here and now that they have lots of food options nearby it's even more attractive. Great for a summer day because there's a splash pad and lots of shade from the giant oaks. Nice restrooms and plenty of green spaces to run around, all cushioned and babyproofed, unlimited activities including connect 5, bean bags, putt putt etc. always been an impressive and satisfying place to take all 3 of my boys as they've grown up. read more

A nice open area with lots of seating, activities, restaurants and currently, FIFA watch parties! I enjoy bringing my pup here on walks and to the dog park in the area. People are nice, and the dogs are well behaved for the most part. There are sometimes homeless people who walk around the area, hang out in their cars or simply jump the fence to play with some dogs at the park so keep your head on a swivel. But overall, a nice safe place with beautiful views and nice scenery read more

Levy Park - pup after the dog park - Dog Parks Near Me - Houston, Texas

This park on Eastside Street is such a wonderful place to have in Houston. It offers plenty of room and amenities, including a dog park, an activity lawn, promenade, a children's park, pavilion, and an event lawn, plus restaurants nearby. With street parking in the surrounding area and clearly marked parking areas for the park itself, it's a pleasure to visit. As an added safety feature, they've got security that actively make rounds in the park and by the parking areas monitoring. There are plenty of tables at this park as well as areas for play. Stumble upon their games cart with a rotating supply of board games and strategy games to have some fun with friends or the kids, the art cart with some crafty supplies and the reading room which holds some books and magazines to borrow. They take donations too so you can reach out to them if so desired! The park is clean for what it is, and some areas have device charging stations along with free wifi. Their website also has a calendar of events to check out. read more

A unifying piece of public land in Upper Kirby that ties the peacefulness of the suburbs, livelihood of an urban environment, and madness of I-69 altogether. When it comes to amenities, Levy Park has something for everyone. Kids have a mini water park, climbing walls, and many other cool playground elements at their disposal. Adults can help themselves to ping pong, putt-putt, and even a Hearsay's that just opened. Dogs can make friends at their own playpen. Whatever you're visiting the park for, there are open grass fields and wide walkways to do it. Parking can be annoying at times, but I've always found at least one available spot when I visit. Free spots immediately adjacent to the park are reserved for a maximum of 3 hours and exclusively for park visitors. Occasionally, you get lucky with free all-day parking on Wakeforest St which borders the park. I love coming to this park whether it's at the crack of dawn or the middle of the day. Roughly a third of the area is shaded by trees. The weather is currently bearable to walk in most areas, but my advice? Come here at night for a well-lit, surreal experience. read more

This park is so much fun for my kids to play at in Houston. They have a splash pad, blocks, a slide, and plenty of fun places to explore. I've looked into hosting events or birthday party's here too as they have a small section where you can have a gathering. There's also usually a few food trucks around for ice cream, coffee too. Parking can be a bit tough so but there's a garage nearby if you don't feel like roaming for street parking. read more

Levy Park - Dog Parks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Amazing family and dog friendly park. Especially great park for younger kids with a playground and a clean bathroom. They often have family friendly events and food trucks. There's a very nice large semi enclosed playground that's safe for the little ones and there are features for little older kids (i.e. older siblings). They have a cart with activities. There's ping pong although that's tough when it's windy. There's tiny putt-putt. There's also a dog park with separate spaces for large and small dogs. There's TexMex place on the corner if you get hungry or thirsty. Parking can be challenging. There are decent amount of parallel street parking spots, but if it's nice weather those are going to be taken. read more

I love to attend events at Levy Park. Because of the location and the features of a suburban park. The dog playpen called Woof is my favorite, especially on weekends. I don't have a dog but I love to watch those interactions. Kids get to play in the Children's Park. So, did the adults. In this hot summer days, come by after dark. It's more relaxing when wind blows. read more

Always interested in checking out nearby dog parks around town. We went on a Monday evening so it wasn't too crowded. Free parking was a breeze to find. Dog parks are great but are even better when they split the small and big dogs into separate areas. The entire park is very modern and fun to walk through and check out. I wasn't in the mood for any booze but they have tons of options at the big red stand in the middle of the park. Will definitely check it out next time. read more

Last weekend, October 4, we celebrated our son's 6th birthday at the Levy Park Family Pavilion inside the Children's Park, and it was really disappointing. We made the reservation in August, there weren't any dates available before this last weekend and the website stated that "bookings weren't available until October, because of the children's park closure". We trusted, but the playground, which was the main reason we rented the pavilion, was still closed for renovation and potentially unsafe. We got a call less than 48 hours before the party, already past their cancellation window, just to review final details, and only then did they mention that "a couple of games" were out of service and the playground would be closed to the public. In reality, more than half of the playground was fenced off, there was no drinking water, and no water play either. We reached out before and after the party looking for a solution, an alternative, or at least an apology, but got nothing. When we finally talk to the Park's management, Monday after the party, they responded defensively, hiding behind legal terms instead of acknowledging what happened and how it affected our son, his friends, and our family. The park director showed no empathy or accountability. Instead, she just kept quoting the terms and conditions to justify not giving a refund, rather than offering any kind of understanding or apology. The truth is, they delivered poor service, withheld important information, and showed zero care for the kids and families involved. Families deserve honesty, clear communication, and respect when using public spaces, and this time, Levy Park's administration really failed to deliver that. read more

This is a nice park area with tons to occupy your time on a nice day - playground for the kiddos, dog park, outdoor seating, food trucks, etc. They also have a couple of carts offering crafts and games for free, so it is a really family-driven and inclusive place to spend an afternoon. Free parking is available along the perimeter street surrounding the par (watch for signage) and paid parking available in the parking garage ($5 on weekends) if it is busy. read more

This is such a cute and well maintained park! Though it's not as large as some others in Houston, it's amenities make up for it. Parking: I saw a lot of reviews noting the parking situation. I personally opted for the parking garage and had no problem (of course the garage is pay to park depending on amount of time). When I arrived there was no street parking available (Monday at 11am) so I can only assume it's hard to get a street parking spot most days. Dog park: There's a cute little dog park that's divided into large and small dogs. That being said, I can't imagine having a large dog here at all. Each section is pretty small and doesn't have any real/natural grass. That's a big turn off for me and my doggos. It also has splash pads like in the children's section. Overall for how great the park is I am pretty disappointed in the dog park section - there's just too much concrete and not enough entertainment for my pups. *the dog park and parking are why I gave 4 instead of 5 stars* Kids park: I don't have any kids but the kids park looks amazing ! From splash pads to musical steps, jungle gyms to rock walls - this place looks like a blast ! There's also 2 kid stations with coloring supplies and games which is a pretty neat thing to have! Seating: There's tons of seating around the park from chairs and tables to benches to rocking chairs. There's even smaller tables for kids. Food: It does seem like food trucks come here but Monday about nmaround 11:45am (when I'm writing this) there aren't any. There's also a food concession stand that seems to be closed. There's 2 vending machines near the restrooms though. Pokemon go: I always like to note pokemon go stops in parks and this park has a ton! Great way to get all your items and even visit the 1 gym they have. Overall I really love the vibe of this park. There's large trees to provide shade plus cool architectural structures for shade too, grassy spots yo sit, a path to follow all the way around, and little extra things (community garden, rain garden) that are fun to explore. There's even putt putt and ping pong tables available! read more

Levy Park is a great place to bring your fur babies. He or she will have a good time and so will you. There's a section where they are able to run and interact with other dogs and people. The section is split into two sections. One side is for small dogs and the other for larger dogs. On the opposite side of the park, there is a playground for the kids, food trucks, restaurants and a library. When we visited, there was a group doing yoga. There's a Bar called Gaspachos where you can get you a decent margarita and with the purchase, get a treat for your pup or pups. The bartender was friendly but another day we went she wasn't too nice. Maybe she was having a bad day. read more

Located in the heart of the city, Levy Park feels a lot like parks where I moved from (#1), with the added versatility of being an urban space for all sorts of activities. Whether one is there for a little food truck lunch, a quick jog or stroll, doggy playtime or children fun, this is easy, colorful, outdoor destination. It's not the largest park but it's a sizeable enough a number of activities. The infamous Levy Dog Run is a fun place to take the doggos for some playtime. Over at the Color Wheel is a good place to get a little shade in the sun and people watch at the same time. Youngins who are seeking out some playground fun is sure to find it at Levy, as they have some fun contraptions for kids to climb, run, and burn some much needed kid energy. On occasion, there are food trucks that park on the sides of the park that vary in everything from desserts to hot food. While the variety changes up constantly, it does mean that this could be a lunch destination with plenty of picnic opportunities. Beware of the parking situation. While it's not too hard to find street parking, just make sure to read the signs. Some areas are designated for parking and some others are tow central. When in doubt, park somewhere in a nearby retail lot and walk over. _______________ (#1) NYC. Except way cleaner and nicer. read more

Ice cream truck on site. read more

An Earth Day appropriate park deserves an Earth Day appropriate review right? If the pictures don't tempt you to visit I'm sure others reviews will. As everyone mentions, the amenities, architecture, food options, caffeine, and community activities are incredibly impressive. However, to me Levy park is about immersion. Although you're meters from bustling 59, you wouldn't know it. Although clustered Richmond road is at your back, you wouldn't care. Although mid rise apartment buildings are in the foreground, you barely notice. Although office buildings linger above Slowpokes, somehow they couldn't feel more distance. Levy park captures the feeling of immersion. When immersed in the experience of the park that has been created for you, you nearly forget it's contrast to the world around you. To me, that's somewhere worth revositon. Although the amenities are nice, the immersive experience is why I choose Levy Park. read more

I come here primarily to take my dogs to the dog park here. The dog park is fairly small but has both a large and small dog section. I love how this park has turf so my dogs don't get muddy when they run around and play. I also like that this park is smaller so I can easily keep track of me pups. This park is great for kids as well. They have a huge playground and also green space with multiple games available to play. They have a little mini golf area and even books that kids can borrow to read. On the weekend I've seen multiple food trucks available if you're craving a snack or something to drink. Restrooms are kept fairly clean here as well. There is free parking available on each side of the park as well as parallel parking bordering the park. On weekends it may be a bit challenging to find a spot. Sometimes I venture into the nearby apartment complex to parallel park. Overall, this is a great space for kids, adults, and dogs. Be sure to check out their free events that include fitness classes, movies, story time, and family concerts. read more

This is a great family park, dog park and generally a whole vibe! Went on a Saturday with our two pups, and hit up the dog park first. There are two seperate gated sections, both astro-turfed, one for small dogs and one for large dogs. Though our dogs are small, they play better with big dogs so that was our choice. When you walk in the middle area is open to give you plenty of room to let your dog in safely. There are two poles with bags to clean up after your pet if you didn't bring any and plenty of benches. There is a BBQ style place to grab a sandwich or beer and seating all over the park. The children's area feo what we saw was great and spacious and very creative not a typical playground. Coffee shop accross the street, slow pokes was good too! read more

Levy Park - Daenerys and Domino enjoying the park. - Dog Parks Near Me - Houston, Texas

Beautiful park in Houston that is packed with so many different options. Amazing that this 6 acre park has both small and large dog parks, an activity lawn, a children's play park (currently closed due to COVID), outside reading room, community garden, restaurants and moe. The Color Factory has two colorful partnership installations. Love the vintage British style telephone booth that is painted all the colors of the rainbow and more. Check out the Color Wheel where you can sit and spin under the pergola color palette that is open to the sky. The activity lawn has many sports related options. From table tennis to mini golf to soccer, there are lots of ways to burn calories. Play frisbee or football, but also bring hand sanitizer to use before and after participating in any activity or use the hand sanitizer that are available on site. Not sure what to grow in your home garden? Visit the community garden to get ideas of what is in season and what grows well in Houston. From cabbage to brussels sprouts to cages filled with tomatoes to carrots, so many vegetables and herbs are thriving in the garden. Do not pick the produce, though. Fort Worth Chef Tim Love has two unique restaurants on site. The Woodshed Smokehouse offers all things grilled, roasted, or slow-cooked. Not to forget your favorite pup, there is also a special menu for dogs as well as a pet friendly outdoor patio. The Love Shack is a classic burger joint. Featuring burgers, hot dogs, nachos, hand cut fries and onion rings, and root beer on tap, it is open seasonally. The Pavilion offers many fitness classes including Zumba, tai chi, yoga, Bollywood dance and body barre. Story hour includes a craft for young children. The arts and craft cart is well stocked and is available as well. Follow CDC guidance on handwashing, wearing a face mask and social distancing. Check the event calendar for both in-person and virtual classes. Three hour parking is available and free. Great park to spend a few hours soaking in the sunshine. read more

Levy Park is such a fun park for kids and adults! They have a great playground, walking paths, ping pong, golf putting, food... basically everything and anything one could want in a park. They also have a cart with games, coloring pages, crayons, and other small toys to utilize while you are at the park. I love the events that they host throughout the year! read more

So fun to go with my husband and two year old! Love the slides and tunnels. The water portion is fun too!

We frequent the park every weekend. It's not close to us but since it has turf and we have very fluffy dogs that get ruff and dirty, it's work the short trek. They have water fountains that shoot up and in my opinion, plenty of space for our small to medium sized pups the run. Only downsides are 1. People that let their kids in and they run around screaming and scaring or grabbing at the dogs (KEEP THEM OUT! It's not a petting zoo) and 2. People that don't watch their dogs and fights break out. No fault of the park but it happens a lot when we are there, especially during peak times. read more

This is my favorite Houston park! Sure it's small, but there's so much to do! And there's a very nice community feel to it. I love the light globes that hang on the trees and turn on in the dark. It feels like a fairytale place. They have books to read, two ping-pong tables, a kids section, and more! They host classes and movie nights as well! So far I've tried Tango and Zumba, both quite fun. I really want to try the Bollywood Bhangra as well! I also enjoy people watching while sitting on their cool rocking chairs... I've always found parking to be super easy around the park. If you get hungry, there are many restaurants and a cool coffee shop walking distance from here. read more

Much needed update. Last time I penned my review for Levy Park, it was 2010 and this park was just an empty baseball field. Time has certainly changed, and this park has undergone a major facelift... or a total transformation. There's a community garden, bark park, stage woth performances, a calendar of events (pre-Covid), books and craft station, art instillations, splash pad.. a good day's worth of free fun for the family. And with restaurants, cafes and food trucks directly across the street, you can take your snacks to the park for an easy picnic. read more

I spoke with two security guards Bit-You and Troy, the new guard. Bit-You will tow your car for any reason, when you turn your back. One minute, he is your friend, chatting up people in the park. The next minute, he is a laughing hyena, helping the wrecker tow your vehicle. They love to crack down by 8 PM and tow most of the vehicles out of the park. It is highly lucrative, financially slaughtering the park cattle. I watched the wreckers running while they towed vehicles, in case the park visitors catch them in the act, as I did with my camera. I had been parked legally for less than one hour (7 to 8 PM) but my vehicle was towed: Beware the Levy Park Tow Scam! read more

We love Levy Park! We've got twin 3 year olds & there is so much for them to do here. There is an activity area with a large Connect 4, & an arts cart, games cart & a mini library closer to the road. The arts cart is always well organized & supplies are full. I'm usually here during the week though so I'm sure it might not be the case on the weekends. There is a large grassy area in front of the stage & is perfect for picnics! They have a good amount of seating & chairs, but bring your own if you want to have a sure thing. In the enclosed area there is a hill which leads to a wide slide. There's also a splash pad (open in the warmer months) so be prepared for the kids to get soaked! I put mine in swim gear & bring a change of clothes. Also in this area are tunnels, mounds for climbing, an interactive music feature, & other various things for the kids too play on, including a climbing gym. There is another open grassy area where they have jumbo blue blocks for the kids to build with. On this side is also a ping pong table, foosball, & mini golf. For the dog lovers there's also a little dog park which looks nice (I don't have a dog so can't comment further). On the weekends there are usually food trucks parked nearby so if you don't feel line packing a picnic just pick one up! There are also 2 restaurants being built on the park which look almost complete called Woodshed Smokehouse & Love Shack Burgers which are projects of Chef Tim Lowe from Fort Worth. If you do come here on the weekend & can't find street parking there is a parking garage that is very reasonably priced. Don't waste your time driving around & park there. Thanks for reading my review. Have fun! read more

The small-ish park is a hidden gem inside the loop. The park is really family friendly with lots of activities for children and adults alike (playground, large blocks, table tennis, foosball) There are lots of green spots where you can throw around a ball or spread out a picnic blanket and just chill. And most importantly, there are pretty clean bathrooms that are open to the public. Nothing worse than having to leave the park early cause nature calls and there's no where to go. There's plenty of street parking around the park. Most of it is parallel, so hopefully that's something in your repertoire. The Slowpokes Coffee shop is right at the edge of the park, so you can swing by to grab something if you'd a snack or a drink during your time at the park. There's also a BBQ spot - haven't had it so can't really speak to how great it is; just another option. Another option is the Love Shack which serves fries and other concession type foods (I think...lol) There is a security guard that patrols the park. Most of the different individuals filling the role I met were pretty friendly. The park also has plenty of lights which is a cool sight in the evenings should you choose to hangout there after the sun is down. Always an option, and parking will be way easier. And of course, it'll be way cooler in the summers. Bonus: If you'd like to be on the grass, may want to bring a picnic blanket since lawn chairs aren't allowed (I think). If I'm off-base on this let me know. read more

This was my first time coming to this park (for a holiday market), and it was beautiful. They had lots of green space and many tables with chairs in different areas of the park. There was also a place where you could buy lunch, drinks, and even ice cream (though the ice cream machine was down when we were there). We enjoyed some hot dogs and the seating, as well as walking around the holiday market that was there that day. There was also a Santa statue that we took pictures with. There is also a little dog park area, which we didn't go to, but they had sections for small and large dogs. read more
