Set in a small, quiet neighborhood that surrounds it, this park is another treasure for the City of…read moreMontgomery. This is the second of only three well-groomed parks in Montgomery that affords good walking paths and regular upkeep by citizens of Montgomery who use and value the park and Montgomery Public Works Services. The other two parks are Memory (Lake) Park and Fernland. There are play sets for children, shady swings and benches for the adults, a sand volleyball court, and a large rentable Pavilion for special events. There are two or three BBQ grills in the park for picnicking and lots of shade from the large old trees. The park is situated adjacent to the City Hall and Montgomery Police Department so it is safe for all. There are many who walk or jog in this park. There is parking for bicycles but because there are those who use the sidewalks for walking, cyclists are encouraged to yield to the bi-peds and four-paws. Better yet, park your bike and enjoy the park! Motorized vehicles are not allowed. Cedar Brake Park suffered quite a blow when a tornado ripped through it last year but Public Works got after the damage and now the park is regaining its strength though some trees are now leaning a little more than they used to. This park boasts a little bit of civilization by providing sidewalks in a city where sidewalks are the exception rather than the rule. There are regularly-cleaned public bathrooms. The park is well-lighted for pre-dawn and after-dark walks. There is handicapped parking and access making it easy for all to use and appreciate the park. Don't forget to say hello to Sam Houston, who regularly dons a Santa Hat during the Holidays. Sammy, Dude, you are so short! At Christmas time, local businesses "rent" the lamposts and decorate them, each with different themes and lights. At one point during the season, they are judged for their designs and awarded first, second and third place by the city. On-leash dogs are welcome and there are dog poop bags at three stations along with adequate trash bins. Dog Owners/Parents are urged to use these facilities and pick up after their dogs. Help keep our parks beautiful by picking up your trash and disposing of it properly. Make it clean for all to enjoy. It takes a village!

Not only is there a main house complete with artifacts and informational posters and pamphlets, but there are also incredibly knowledgeable docents who can walk you through the areas. Julie gave us an well educational interactive tour through not only the front house, but also two other historical cabins and the workplace of a lumberjack. The authenticity of the artifacts, furnishings, and overall style of the lodgings (some pieces are originals, while some are replicas or refurbished) is incredible and really transports you back in time. This is a wonderful place to bring kids, particularly if they're in a school system in the area that will be having them participate in the Texas historical project. Thank you again, Julie for taking your time during the cold weather, to explain such an interesting history to us.

Camping sites and boating are available to rent. The park's safety is assured through routine checks by the rangers, which I find reassuring. Although alligators were spotted, they maintained a distance.

I had no idea it was even out here. There are fees to enter as well as fees for areas you want to rent for yourself. Huntsville State Park is located in the Sam Houston National Forest and is filled with beautiful trees, hiking trails and lakes. On the lake, you can fish, canoe and even swim. There is a designated spot for swimming which we saw but did not partake in. There is no lifeguard, so swim at your own risk and beware of the alligators. There are plenty of trails that can keep you busy for days. If you're into camping, there have plenty of campsites, including some screened shelter. The screened shelter plot we rented was spacious and had amenities like picnic tables, grill, water hookup, amp hookup, and restrooms and shower facilities nearby. It was a great setup for our large group. We had plenty of space to play, set up some little pools for the kiddos and eat without anybody being right on top of us. After coming here, I realized I need to take advantage of all the state parks in our amazing state and escape the hustle and bustle of the city every once in awhile. I would visit this place again for sure.

As small business owners, we know what it's like to get unfair reviews--and honestly, we're not sure what people could possibly complain about here. Everything was so well-maintained, from the grounds to the animal enclosures, and the entire place had a warm, welcoming feel. Every animal was friendly, approachable, and clearly used to kind human interaction. Our kids (6-year-old boy and 4-year-old girl) were able to pet and spend quality time with all of them--which is something you don't get at most places. The putt-putt course was a fun bonus, and the playground looked brand new--better than what you'd see at most parks! We stayed for 5 full hours, and not once did the kids get bored. Even in 95-degree heat, there was plenty of shade and a nice breeze, making it very tolerable. The staff was amazing, and a young man named Cameron stood out--super friendly and helpful when we asked about the male tortoises (which were incredible to see up close). We also noticed multiple people working to keep everything clean and cared for the entire time we were there. On top of all that, the food prices were shockingly affordable, which made it even more enjoyable. We left grateful, refreshed, and already planning our next visit. This place is a hidden gem and a great example of how a small attraction can be run with excellence and heart.
