I traveled to address: 840 Egret Bay Blvd and took a left turn to go on a gravel path around a loop to the parking lot. Benches throughout the park to sit and observe nature. Speaking of nature, I spotted a turtle, a male cardinal, a seagull, lots of moss, mushrooms, and tiger swallowtail butterfly. Beautiful artwork of birds near the parking lot. At regular pace, the paths are 1.7 miles. Very accessible and handicapped safe. The restrooms are in front of the parking lot. I thought it was pretty cool to have aquatic milkweed in a patch then a diagram of all the native milkweeds.

The other time I've been here was when my dad wanted to put his kayak in the lake to "test". I like that there's a trail that covers the perimeter of the lake. Despite being a small park, it doesn't get as packed because there's three other parks in the area: Stevenson, Lynn Gripon, Challenger 7. There's not much shade unfortunately so walking in the summer can be a heat bath of sweat. Watch out for the dog poop splatter on the boardwalk since we have careless dog owners who won't pick up their dog feces. Overall, a decent park to walk off 4 miles easily.

The paved and bridged pathways were perfect for a walk around the beautiful lake. We took our two…read moredogs and they enjoyed their time too. However, the weather was cool and breezy. If had been any hotter, it would not have been good for the walk because the trail was not very shady. The lake itself is NOT accessible for swimming or for the dogs. It looks like fishing and kayaking was allowed which is accessed from the docks. It also looked great for gatherings as there was a huge gazebo type shelter for a party.

We were participating in a 5k. It started out on the street and I mentioned I was surprised we weren't on the path by the water. Then all of a sudden we were lol. It was a great event and I love getting close to natures. I'll definitely be back to walk again and take my Dogs. There were a few doggie bag stations i saw too so it's on my list of to dos

Only been to phase 5 and hopefully soon will cover the other phases…read more I love that it is near my house! The parking lot is small and right off bay area near space center Blvd. So far when I have gone it hasn't been packed so can't say there is any parking issues at the moment. I have only gone in the late morning and early afternoon. They have and still are planting trees along the path. Once they have grown tall enough it will definitely provide some great shade. Right now there is no shade so straight sun and heat along the path. If you plan it right like when we get fallish weather or a cloudy day then it isn't bad for a loop. It is a paved path so if you bring your kiddo In a stroller or a jogging stroller then you won't have any issues. Plenty of room for a stroller and a runner to go by. It does connect to phase 4 so if you are looking for a longer path then continue on. According to my Garmin watch the phase 5 loop is 1.27 miles.

I love this park because it reminds me such much of Crenshaw Park in Pasadena…read more It has exactly what Crenshaw Park has. Birds, a large body of water, and a trail around of that. It really is comforting & relaxing to view. The jungle gym is a 1-up from Crenshaw, because the slides go underground and it is so monstrous for kids. Even though, I know I cannot play on it it's still great to look at and kids do enjoy it! The trails are amazing feel for any adult to find solace!

At the front of the park, you'll find two clean restrooms and a playground with various swings for able-bodied and disabled children, monkey bars, and a spinning carousel. The parking lot is very large with many slots. It's a great place to come to if you want to get in some quick cardio around the track. I like that the Armand Bayou hike and bike trail are attached; it can get pretty crowded on the weekend, but if you want to see some wildlife it's here. There are deer, rabbits, and birds.

Holly Bay Court Sports Complex (HBCSC) offers plenty for the fit family: 1/2 mile asphalt loop…read moretrack, body weight workout stations on a rubber surface, children's playscape with pea gravel surface, large parking lot, restrooms, and water fountains. Whenever I visit, generally during holidays when we're in town to visit relatives, there are always plenty of folks of all ages enjoying the park, including dog walkers, kids on bikes & scooters, and lots of jogging suit-clad senior citizens getting their daily walks in. My primary interest in HBCSC, however, is as an entry point for the well trafficked Armand Bayou Hike & Bike Trail system http://www.yelp.com/biz/armand-bayou-hike-and-bike-trail-pasadena-2 . From here, I can get in a nice 10 mile run (5 flat miles out and back to Bay Area Blvd.) that is mostly shaded and offering a bit of typical SE Texas scenery. Recent rains can make for some soupy areas on the trail, but experienced trail runners and mountain bikers will have no trouble. When the weather is warm, mosquitos are common, so plan ahead with protection for that. Do note the many warning signs about snakes. Depending on the season and time of day, you may see a few, but that's also true for the back yards around here. Use your common sense, folks. This trail is adjacent to a bayou, so you may encounter any kind of creature that would thrive in a bayou. I would not recommend running or biking at night on this trail; stick to the dry, raised track loop for that.

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!
