But this one has changed quite a bit. Go figure. Everything does. This park is gated and you only have access if you have the code (given to you by the HOA). Luckily, we caught someone on their was out (how sneaky, right?). This park was pretty busy at 11a on a Friday. But there's so much open space and a few different structures to play on, so it didn't feel crowded. Our boy particularly enjoyed the swing and the rocker horses. The ground is covered in fake grass, which made me feel like I was back in Vegas. Love it.

I really enjoyed visiting the Alief Neighborhood and community center. The inside has two floors:…read moreone floor with many different services for the community and the second floor is the library with a tech center a passport center, and even an indoor gym. The people who work there were super helpful and knowledgeable of all the services that the community center provided. I really like how there are private rooms to co-work in. You just have to reserve them ahead of time online. The indoor gym has a lot of different equipment, even an indoor track with an indoor basketball court. You just need a valid Harris County library card in order to access it. The outside area has some really cool spaces like a playground for children of all ages, skate park, tennis courts, soccer fields, and many more other picnic areas and play area areas. There's even a pool! There is also covered parking on the bottom level of the community center that has EV plugs as well. If you're in the area, I would highly recommend try giving it a try and getting a library card to make use of all of the resources available for free!

For both outdoor and indoor activities, this is an incredible option for folks in the community. The space is substantial with a bevy of options that include a skatepark, swimming pool, tennis courts, an enormous children's playground, and lots of room for folks looking to exercise outdoors. It is a pet friendly area and a perfect destination for families, social gatherings, and even special occasions. Parking is abundant all throughout the property. The neighborhood center includes a gym + fitness center (#1), basketball courts, and indoor walking track. There are venue spaces for both adults and children for up to 25 people at no cost. There is also after school enrichment programs for kids, teens, and additional programs for seniors. There are volunteer opportunities and community development programming throughout the year. Because it's still fairly new, the facilities and everything are in good shape. Time will tell if they will be able to maintain it but for now it serves as an ideal resource for folks looking to get active and be a part of the Alief community. Best of all, it's all free. __________ (#1) Note: there is no shower or sauna.

They also had monkeys, a petting zoo, flamingos, exotic birds, penguins.... I might have missed some there were just so many. The kids arcade was cool because it's essentially free play. There was also a bowling alley and it looked like a water slide but it was closed that day. Tennis courts everywhere and pickleball courts too. I didn't see the gym. The food they offered wasn't the greatest for how much they charge but I didn't pay for anything so maybe it was just the food that they provided that was mediocre. We did ask the staff to cook the pizza some more as it was kind of undercooked and doughy and the staff was extremely nice and didn't have a problem helping us out. I spoke to one of the members while I was relaxing in the patio area and he was telling me about all of the events for members that are free with the membership. Really cool place.

The club features an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a slide, a clubhouse for events, and excellent management. Additionally, it has tennis courts, basketball courts, pickleball courts, and more. Two events we particularly enjoyed were the BBQ Cook-Off and the Chili Cook-Off, both of which were very well attended. The 4th of July celebration is another awesome event. The playground adjacent to the club is also fantastic with lots of equipment for the kids to enjoy. We made many friends and neighbors at swimming team events and club socials, including the wonderful Fourth of July celebrations. I cannot say enough good things about this place. We miss it dearly but know that everyone in the area continues to enjoy it.
