This is my Lulu favorite place to go. I've never seen a park so big. There are two sides that expand 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. read more

I use to hike at this trail for about 3 years consecutively. I loved the scenery and the nature; however 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. read more

I walk this park in the mornings and watch the sun rise!! As a person with limited time in the morning, I value nature in a safe setting. It's in a nice community with soccer fields and running trails. Try it if you're on the North side of town. read more

Meyer Park - Play area & trail - Parks Near Me - Spring, Texas

Nice park to indulge in outdoor activities. Pros: -Walking/ Running trails -Open fields for baseball/ soccer/ football/ random family activities -Outdoor exercise equipment -BBQ/ Picnic areas -Large designated dog park -Restrooms Cons: -The trails can be confusing the first tome around. It splits up in multiple places that takes you to a dead end. (This only matters if your trying to walk/ run for distance.) -There's not an unpaved trail option. (Only matters to those who prefers to walk/run on a softer surface) read more

Meyer Park - Fresh Air - Parks Near Me - Spring, Texas

Meyer Park is a large park that is every family's dream...from soccer fields for the little ones to run on or watch a game, to walking/biking trails (paved and unpaved), to a duck pond, to a fishing lake, bbq stands, playgrounds, and most importantly clean restrooms. Meyer Park pretty much checks off every box when it comes to a park. Various hidden gems once you get off the beaten path - an adjacent dog park, volleyball court, skatepark, softball fields, etc. Parking is ample, but can get hectic at key points in the park (playground area and softball fields), even so, do not let the crowds deter you. HPD and Park Ranger vigilant and routinely drive around the park and parking lot. Easy to spend half a day here with the kids on a picnic or nice place to walk, jog, bike, roller blade, etc. SIDE NOTE: For families with little ones, as stated above, there is a dog park and dogs are prevalent throughout the park (most on leashes), but do be mindful. read more

Great park for biking or walking. Sometimes people walk their pets with no leashes which can be extremely annoying. Also some pet owners don't pick up after their dogs. So watch your step. Other than that a great place to walk run or bike. Great way to see nature up close and personal. I've seen squirrels, deer, snakes, turtles, ducks, swamp rats lol Really good for biking as well. When the temps get cooler I really enjoy biking there. Great to get some cardio done while enjoying nature. Highly recommended this park if you are in the area. Gets packed. Also don't leave valuables in your car. I have heard of break ins. Other than that this is one of my fave parks to get cardio in. read more

My favorite park. I was looking for a large spacious park to ride bikes. This was truly what I was looking for. So clean and the trails were wide enough to rides bikes on and it had different entrances you can start from. It wasn't too crowded, plenty of trees for shade and was very peaceful. I loved the officer on site as well. read more

Branches of trees come over soccer fields. It does not allow good videography of games in most of the fields. People managing these fields should trim those branches. Unacceptable read more

Meyer Park was, in a lot of ways, my home away from home for many years. I used to be the typical soccer mom; years ago I was here often and for many hours. Not only was I here for practices during the week and then games but also for entire weekends at times (tournaments). I got to know the layout of this lovely park (both north and south sides) by heart, it seemed, because I was habitually coming here. Now Meyer Park is truly a recreational park for me. I loved it then (I believed it to be one of the finest soccer facilities that I'd ever visited), and I love it now. Lovely walking trails, a huge playground for my grandson on the south side and so much open land and beautiful trees to admire. Gaze at the ducks and the turtles in the creek as you walk. Enjoy the lovely shade. Sit for a spell on the many benches. This park is a treasure. Beautifully maintained with lots of parking (and an adjoining dog park), Meyer Park is a facility to be cherished by this community. read more

This park is the best in Spring. A little something for everyone. A tots play area with benches for the parents to watch. Soccer fields. Trails for biking. You can use rollerblades as well. Lots of picnic benches. Trash cans all through out the park. Plenty parking space except on Soccer game days. Restrooms too. If you want to grill, the park has you covered. Very clean too. You can bring you pet on a leash too. You can fish and feed the turtles if wish to do so. Highly recommended you try this park out. read more

My kiddo and I were looking for a bike trail and this park is five minutes from me. It's a nice park and it seems pretty packed on weekends, being between the Cypress and Spring areas. The paved bike trails are not clearly marked, after you see the initial signage at the park entrance. I mean, you understand that the pavement is for running and biking, but when you come to forks in the road, there is little in the way of knowing which way to go and where that way leads. We clearly knew where the entrance to the hardest wooded trail was, because there was enough signage to tell us. read more

Very big two sided park. Great walking areas. Great for kids and adults. I would recommend

I had some pretty cool nature sightings/"encounters" here a while back. The walking trails were decent too. I saw a couple of river rats, which from my short internet search, I understand they are social creatures and not afraid of humans/interaction. Also happened to see a snake that was eating a fish. It had its body wrapped around it and was taking small bites which looked like a shite situation for the fish. I am not sure what kind of snake it was, but it was something I had never seen before except on TV/nature shows. read more

This park does not have adequate parking. Soccer tournaments should not be held here. We couldn't even watch the game and had to leave and wait for game to be over to pick back up. read more

Wow! Really great park. I always went to Cypress Park for a nice morning or evening run, but now I'm going to Meyer Park. I've come here twice now and today was when I was able to see what more they have to offer. This park has plenty of parking, is off both left and right sides of the street on Cypresswood and is great for bikers, families, gatherings, and dogs. On one side of the park, there's a huge dog park which looks like so much fun for the furry friends and also contains a lot of shade on the trail. On the other side, there are two ponds that you can walk around and hang out near. In the smaller pond, I saw 5 capybaras (nutria rats) which is the most I've ever seen in one sitting! There's plenty of turtles and we came across many nature trails, which I plan to do one day. Heading to the larger pond, it feels like you're back in summer camp. Nice, nostalgic feeling out in nature. This park has so much to explore and is in a great location! read more

Meyer Park isn' the grandest of parks, but it's free admission and pretty darn magnificent for its size. This is where I come to de-clutter my mind and relieve stress. At times I find myself daydreaming that I'm in another world. I like to jog on quieter trails, especially during the evenings. It's humbling and breathtaking to never have the same scenery painted twice. read more

A great great park!!! I like going off the main trail to feel that I'm somewhere else! So many memories here. Spending time with my daughter and dog. read more

This is a nice safe park to go for jogging/running/walking the dog and playing soccer/football. It is really really busy around soccer/football season, but usually on the weekends only. It does have a small duck area (at night the nutria come out to feed...mwhahahahaa, yes BIG ASS FRIGGIN RIVER RATS...you can hand feed them if you are sweet enough.....kidding, but seriously, they do live along well with the ducks and "can't we all just get along?" I would go during the day and leave before the sun goes down due to limited lighting in some areas, unless you are with a group of people. There is a police presence(infrequently) but don't count on them leaving their vehicles to walk the area...don't get paid enough for that. read more

Nice place, it's good to see that there are nice families in the community. There's a cute group of geese that walk around. Many cute dogs and puppies being walked. There are two sides to the park, one with playgrounds, the pond (with geese, ducks, and nutrias), and the nature trail, this side has a lot of people/families. The other side (across the street) is quieter, has less people (though the joggers seem more serious), the trail features little activities along the way (like balance beams, pull up bars, monkey bars, etc). I enjoy the quiet side if I'm just jogging, but when I take my dog I like the busy side, because he gets to see more people and other animals (plus he'll get more compliments :P). The only thing I don't like, though I'm not too bothered about it, is that the path has many cracks in the pavement from roots growing in, so watch where you step. read more

Meyer Park is by far my favorite park on this side of Houston. I love that there are 2 separate parks on either side of the street with 2 dog parks for both large and small dogs. There are tons of trees, walking trails, soccer fields, a pond, and just general beautiful scenery. This is the best dog park I have ever been to as well. My dog loves it and we sometimes sit here and play for hours. I cannot day enough good things about this park. read more

Nice park... been here a few times, great place to walk or run. It can get pretty packed sometimes, but there's plenty of parking. There is another park across the street. The parks are pretty well maintained, the only small problem is the few uneducated imbeciles that throw their trash on the ground five feet from the trash can. There is also a dog park that you can access from within the park or from the street... There's a Veterinarian's office there and there's a path to the dog park. Some people don't clean up after their pups, and that's no good... There's also a lake with turtles. read more

I like going to this park. Kids enjoy themselves when we go here as well. We went not long ago and took our bikes. We enjoy just going for a walk as well. read more

Love walking and jogging at Meyer. It's been too hot this summer to enjoy the trails can't wait to get back to it soon.

First off parking is very accessible, no problem finding a spot. The grass areas are very clean until you get to the bathroom. I will get to that in a minute. The picnic table area are very clean. The playground is clean but one part of the side area was broken and the police tape was flying. The area where the ducks were was clean. Now back to the bathrooms my 3 year old and my friend kid who is also 3 her 1 year old and my friend and I were gagging until we almost threw up. The bathrooms smelled like horse poop, like they haven't been cleaned in years, the area around the water fountains smelled like poop and was dirty. Then you look farther and there's a couple of huge dumpsters overflowing with bags and bags of trash on the ground stacked up and stacked over the limit in the trash with the tops open. It was completely disgusting. Whoever is supposed to be getting the trash isn't doing it, that amount of trash was a months worth. The toilets need cleaned and sprayed. read more

Meyer Park - Parks Near Me - Spring, Texas

Lovely park between 249 and I-45. Warning: Do not go on the weekends. We went Sunday, apx. 2 p.m., it was crowded, chaotic, no place to park, and dangerous. Kids darting in and out, soccer games going on, etc. But let's talk about a weekday. Loads of parking, bathrooms, picnic benches -- not that many, but enough. There are playgrounds scattered around. There are paved and unpaved trails. Over by the lake, there is an informational board which talks about the Indian history in the area. People were fishing in the lake, but I didn't see any evidence of catches! Turtles galore were basking on logs. People were riding bikes, walking, enjoying the day -- all ages, all sizes, all colors. Lovely park. One thing I would like to see is constable presence during crowded periods. People were fighting to get parking spaces and acting most unmannerly. I could see someone, perhaps, notching this up further. A little police presence would be welcomed. read more

Until last weekend, every time I've gone for a run at this park, I've only done the 1.27 loop that they have marked. Since I had to do 14 miles, I decided to explore the other running trails. I was quite impressed when I saw how long the trails were. At one point, the longer trail will go under the bridge at take you to the park across the street where there are more running trails. I really enjoyed the scenery while doing my long run. Also, the people running here are much friendlier than at Memorial. I don't think most of the extended trails are marked with mileage. So you'll need a gps device to get an accurate mileage. read more

Early in the morning before the sun comes up, a drive past Meyer Park will reveal numerous cars parked in the driveway blocked from entering the park by the locked gates. Are there nefarious dealings going on here in the wee morning hours? No, these are just the early birds getting a jump start on the day with a brisk dawn run. Meyer Park is a mecca for the community. It is so large, you may not see the entire park in one trip. In fact, there are two parts separated by a divided parkway (Cypresswood Drive). Among its attractions are multiple playgrounds, numerous soccer fields, running tracks, etc. Near one of the playgrounds is, strangely, a large cage of birds seemingly indicating that if nature is well contained within the confines of this park, these birds will still be here. Truthfully, there are many ducks in the waters of the park and off-the-beaten-path trails for the more adventurous (though these are short, and quite beaten). On a typical day, one might see soccer games or practice in progress, dog-walkers, birthday parties, stroller fit classes (yes, that a real thing - http://www.strollerfit.com/), a tai chi group, and of course loads of kids clambering around. The park has restrooms and drinking water available as well as covered party spaces. During large events (soccer day) there are concessions. read more

Use to love going here but my car was broken into. All they stole was my lunch box upsetting though. Had my passenger window broken for a lunchbox. Really thought it was a safe park but I guess not. read more

Meyer Park is great... it is large, has paved walking/biking/jogging trails, a nature trail, playground equipment for the kiddos, a couple of ponds... I usually get my cardio in here 3-4 times per week and absolutely love it. There's usually a good crowd here to make it a safe place but not so crowded that you just wish people would go away. If you go past the back pond on the paved roads, there's a nice loop underneath Stuebner Airline which heads over to Collins Park as well with even more amenities. read more

I would rate this park as not great but average for two primary reasons. 1) With easy access to 1960 and proximity to some of the seedier neighborhoods of North Northwest Houston the crime on average is disappointing...with car breakins at an all time high, despite being a literal hop and skip away from the Sherrifs department. 2) Not enogh shade and trees! The primary function of this public park is quite obviously as a massive soccer arena. There are decent paved trails that stretch for miles around these soccer fields but practicality for the sport dictates the lack of shade trees along the trails. The result is that walking this park during the middle of a typical Texas summer can actually be dangerous. Something recent and pretty great is the Cypress Creek Greenway Project which connects at a hidden point behind this park and is easily accessible if you know what you are looking for. Still, I dont suggest parking here because of the crime, drive 60 seconds away to the park behind the Sherriffs Department, which is also a Greenway trailhead. Some other positive points are the plethora of wildlife, the pigeon cage, the lake adjoining the Greenway and the updated age specific playgrounds (also unshaded so only use them during the fall and winter!) Edit: After receiving a nastygram from an angry suburban nobody I am editing my original post to include the following: There are some million dollar homes in the area but there are also nasty apartments in every direction that are swamped with breakins and armed robberies spilling over from the FM 1960 area. As a result crime in this parking lot is extremely common. Check crime report dot com for a clue. THERE IS A REASON THIS PARK CLOSES AT DARK. read more

Meyer park is the only park in this area of its kind. It's HUGE - 3 play areas, TONS of soccer fields, a pond and trails. I've been coming here my entire life and have many memories, but every time I go with my children I just think wow this park needs some work! It's just such a huge area with so much potential.. the once pigeon cage is now just a pile of dirt. The pond is littered with trash. The play equipment is outdated and rusty. Again, I have much love for this park. I just think we can do better for being such a large park that draws many people. read more

It's a nice and big park but it's summertime and some kids wanna come out to play out on the fields. (Soccer,football, etc) but they can't because the fields are closed.I honestly think that it's dumb, why would they close the fields during the summer? I think they should do something about it! read more

Very clean, well maintained soccer fields. These fields are better than a lot of other fields we've been to. The fields are flat, paved sidewalks. Conversion and clean restrooms are available. read more

I enjoy this park thoroughly. First of all the park is huge! It has soccer fields, concessions stands, bathrooms, walking trails, exercise points along the trails, mile markers, a dog park, a playground for kids, basketball courts, lots of trees, and lots of grills and tables for gatherings of people. I enjoy the trails for getting my much needed steps in. They are well paved, shaded by lots of trees, and have lots of exercise points like sit up benches, pull up bars, balance beams, etc. Which keeps the walking interesting. I'm not tall enough to do some of the exercise points, but that's ok. I love the dog park here as well. I have not been to the little dog side, but the big dog side is nice. They have secure fences that help keep dogs from bolting, they have hoses for rinsing off your dog, they have pools for the dogs to play in that like water, and there is a trail that goes around the inside of the dog park as well so you can walk while your dog plays. Most people are pretty good at picking up after their dogs, but there is always that one guy that thinks it's ok to leave dog poop on the ground. I also like that they have bat boxes around that help give bats a place to live. Those little guys are so important for the ecosystem. One time I found an injured bat though and I didn't know what to do with it. I used some sticks to move it out of the dog park so it would not get eaten or stepped on. It would be good if they had signs or something with a phone number to an wildlife rescue in the area just in case. Overall though it is a nice park with great facilities. It always feels really safe too because they have police patrolling the area and they have maintenance workers keeping the park maintained. read more
