Cute park for children. There is an obstacle course that used to have a timer for the 8-13 yr olds…read more No, they don't specify an age range, but that is the age of children who like to challenge themselves on that parkour style course. There is also a Zipline style monkey bar that is really fun for that age child. The rest of the park caters more toward younger children. One valuable thing to know before you go is that half the park is sandy so plan shoes & clean up accordingly. The best thing about this park is that just outside the entrance to the park are restrooms & a filtered water fountain bottle filler. Very convenient!

What a lovely park! We spent an early morning here during a recent Houston visit and enjoyed the…read moresandbox area, toddler playscape and swings. The two things I loved most about this park was that the play area was fenced in (like most parks that you'll find in Europe - why can't that be the norm here?) and that the play area was heavily shaded. The park seemed both clean and quite popular - the longer we were there, the more families and kiddos rolled in. Parking is also easy peasy. Overall, a great park experience - especially for the babies/toddlers.

We even hosted our son birthday celebration here in the past. The park is situated in a residential area, so street parking is the only option. Finding a parking space especiaally during busy times or weekends can be a challenge. There are two aspects of this place that I find less appealing. Firstly the sporadic presence of ant (a little too much the city should really do something about it) Secondly, the lack of consideration shown by some of the dog owners who don't keep their pets on a leash. This is especially true when their dogs take a doodle but the owner doesn't pick it up. Really nasty in my opinion. Nothing towards the city but cmon guys, pick up the poop.

I have an 11 month old and it was pretty perfect for him. Artificial grass areas for him to play on with a small hill. Swings for little ones too. He had a ball. Lots of play structures, spinners, climbing, swings, most of the area is wood chipped. Nice coveted area to have a gathering - birthday, etc. The area is completely gated for safety. Parking on opposite sides of the street, don't park directly on park side. Don't block driveways.

From the moment I arrived, there was so much to see and do. The fall atmosphere was amazing, and all of the pumpkins and decorations made it the perfect place to enjoy the season. I especially loved how lively and welcoming the festival felt. There were plenty of opportunities to take cute fall pictures, walk around, enjoy the activities, and just spend time having fun. It was a great event for families, friends, and anyone who loves celebrating fall. The whole area had such a positive energy, and seeing everyone enjoying themselves made the experience even better. One of my favorite parts was simply taking in all the beautiful fall scenery and making memories. It was a nice way to get outside, enjoy the weather, and do something different. Overall, I had so much fun at the Discovery Green Pumpkin Festival and would definitely go again! If you enjoy pumpkins, fall activities, photo opportunities, and a festive atmosphere, this is an event worth checking out. I'm already looking forward to going back!

I regret not going sooner. The weather was great, a little cooler. Ok no it was still hot but felt ok. There were many vendors and for a free concert and dancing outside, discovery green crosses off a lot of boxes. Check them out if you have never been. There was plenty of seating whether you want to be near the stage or at the tables, they have benches and plenty of green space. Great for kids and ok to bring pets. I parked on the street for no charge since I waited until after 6pm. Check out their schedule of events. Can't go wrong.

This park is small compared to Hermann Park, but its just the right size for kids. They have ping pong, a golf station, few food trucks and climbing stations. Lots of green space for the kids to run around on and play catch, tag, or kickball. There is street parking and also a parking garage right on the other side.

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.

There is also a large grassy area for toddlers to run around (ours loves to run on the grass). Lots of beautiful live oaks. Had no issue finding parking on the adjacent street. The only issue -- there was a lot of small broken glass pieces by one of the trees. I'm assuming this was an anomaly but definitely not what you want to see at a children's park.

CUTE park. As in,…read morecute little playground equipment with rabbits on giant springs, "toy" cowboys who hold up monkey bars, tall slides (medium tall by 60s/70s standards), wooden playground equipment. The only things missing were the tall slide, merry-go-rounds, and a jungle gym. However, the old (and now, kitschy), well made and maintained pieces make this one of my favorite parks in Houston. Also, its a piece of old Houston; it was established in 1926. This Rice University area park has a neighborhood organization that takes excellent care of the area. To the tune of $10,000 per year. As well they should, it's one of the last bastions of built-to-last playgrounds. Steel and wood and charm, no plastic. Who doesn't remember climbing on the pumpkin stagecoach at Pumpkin Park? Fleming Park is meant to be charming and unforgettable. If playground equipment isn't your thing, there are plenty of picnic tables, oak trees, and general relaxation areas. A perfect pocket picnic park. There's also a couple of tennis courts, two B-ball hoops, and a baseball diamond. There is no sign for the park, only a list of park rules and a community board. If you're uncertain that you are at the correct park, look for a 15' Totem Pole Bird House that was erected in 1991 by Fletcher Mackey. It is constructed of Cypress and Cedar Wood, ceramic, copper, and painted steel. One item of sadness, some idiot(s) stole the lamb spring ride back in January. There are signs on the community board with a photo and plea for its return. Rather, I should say "her." She was named "Mary the Lamb." Again, she's very, very cute, has a snow white fleece, and a giant metal spring attached to her underside.

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.

Small playground area,lots of tables and benches spread out all over for seating,covered basketball court,public swimming pool. And of course what stands out the most is the pretty large Disc Golf course. The Disc Golf course takes up the majority of the park. I've never played before. Maybe I should give it a shot. The one thing I truly wish this park has was some kind of walking trail or pathway to follow. But I understand the primary focus is the Disc Golf course. You can still take a nice walk just kind of create your own path. And I try to stay out of the way of the disc golf course that's being occupied to avoid being in the way or hit by a disc haha.
