    Trail
    Jahnabi C.

    A clean, green and nice little park. Its a 15 acre park with a 0.53 mile trail according to their online park layout map. Trail length is formatted/redacted on the actual layout map available on the park. I see here people doing walking, jogging, running, yoga etc. There are people seating, laying down, relaxing, gazing or just people watching. Kids love their play areas. Little kids come in groups playing soccer. Kids learning cycling or free play all over. There are 2 play areas for little kids and tots. Plenty of green open fields for little kids to play around. A small boardwalk adds to the fun for the kids and a nice photo op. I think this little park is best suited for them. Several picnic tables with bbq grills. 2 gazebos. Also, some benches laid out throughout to rest and relax. I often see people celebrating on the gazebos and picnicking here. Although this park is not for pets, yet once I saw a dog owner here. Park rules are for a reason. I love pets but I know people with pet allergies. Why complain. Respect the rules especially when there are several pet friendly parks nearby. Small parking lot but I haven't had any problems so far. During this time of Covid19, I see a lighter crowd here. Not crowded but not isolated too, enough that I feel safe. I think I'm able to maintain physical distancing in this park while I still get my fresh air. My favorite part is that there are lots of trees and the park is located in such a way that almost entire park is shaded by evening, even during the peak summer! I can beat the excessive heat and cool off.

    I like this family park, as its always busy with pedestrians, runners, and families picnicking. There is a nice running trail that goes around park. I kind of measured it and for 2 1/3 laps, its a mile. As a I run 6miles daily, it took me 14laps around. There is a nice picnic area with shed and canopy and I have noticed usually families having birthday parties and other celebrations. Also, I see other families sitting in groups all through out the park and having casual conversations. Others are playing soccer/futbol. Then you have the steady runners, like myself. There are walkers, pacing through the park. Folks are grilling. etc. I have also witnessed "Larpers" out here with their knight armors, shields and made to believe swords and other accessories that go along with being a knight. Those Larpers are seriously indulged in conquering the land. Overall, a great park for any kind of activity.

    Such a pretty park for a walk. There's lots of space to enjoy and plenty of parking as well. There are two large playgrounds at the park too.

    Great park! Always plenty of kids playing all over it! Big kid playground gated next to a little kid playground, also gated for safety! Swings, slides, monkey rings and a glider make up a small section of this health Incorporated public place. There's a huge runners trail, crosses a bridge, thru a butterfly expose and continues down alongside the lake. The fact it stays well lit after the sun sleeps is an extra bonus for parents who work later. Full of wildlife, open for all soccer games, BBQ pits, huge shade trees, benches, water fountains and CLEAN bathrooms is what makes Miller Park my fav!! .

    Nice place for a walk very clean new scenery clean restrooms very nice people that you get to meet

    It's a small park with a lot of places to unwind. Square footage is small but there is not one, but two playgrounds, bridges, two gazebos, a restroom and a jogging trail with lights that wraps around the park. It's perfect! Lots of picnic tables and BBQ pits for a Sunday fun day at the park. I came here to scout out as location for A photo session for a client. I think I am going to bring my kids here to play. Plus with all the great restaurants in the area you have a perfect day of playing and eating. This is going to quickly be my new place to chill and unwind.

    The end of the day comes after a long day at work and this is where I escape to! This is by far one of my favorite little parks because of how well it's kept and organized. It has beautiful green grass, a gazebo area where your able to throw parties, restrooms, slight hills, a track that is a little less than a mile long, kids playground, plenty of seating throughout the park and a wooden bridge with lots of trees surrounding the whole park. This would be a perfect park to have a picnic because of the shading throughout the whole area. I usually come here on the weekends and there are always friendly people walking around enjoying their children play or just working out. I tend to either walk or jog about four times and that adds up to close to 2.56 miles or so. Dogs are not allowed at this park from the signs that I have seen. Outdoors is the place to be so if you are ever around the area and decide to stop by you wont regret it. Very relaxing just to actually sit there and people watch... lol

    I'm not typically an outside person, but since my bf lives literally right next door, we walk from his place to this park to go jogging. We come here cause it's convenient. It has a path for running, hills for group exercises and doing park activities, a playground, and restrooms. It has the basic things a park should have. There are no dogs allowed here though. Since it is a smaller park with children bc of the playground area, I can understand why. Just take your dog to the terry hershey park a couple of blocks away. No big deal.

    Beautiful and relaxing! Breathe fresh air in the middle of the city.

    Very relaxing. A quick breath of fresh air in the middle of the day in the middle of the city.

    This is an awesome little slice of serenity. It's a 20-acre patch of forest. Small enough where you…read morecan't get lost but large enough to feel like you're away from the city for a brief while. I was hoping to see more wildlife like birds and such but only saw a turtle. Very random -- wasn't expecting that. Might have been unlucky or there at a less-than-ideal time for birdwatching. Nonetheless, it's a great spot for a stroll and we're lucky to have such easy access to this place. Super simple parking as it's surrounded by residential streets on all sides. You can enter the park from any side. Highly recommended for nature lovers and anyone looking to disconnect for a bit.

    West 11th Street Park is a surprising gem in the heart of the Heights!…read more What to know before visiting: Bring good shoes. There were some muddy areas along the trails despite the fact that it had not recently rained in a while. The park is located in the middle of the neighborhood and there is plenty of street parking nearby. Estimated length of time to explore the park: 30 min - 1 hour The park itself is a 20-acre forested area with a ground blanketed by fallen leaves and old oak and pine trees. The park features windy trails that cross paths with each other multiple times. If the park was larger, it might be easy to get lost. However, since you can see the streets surrounding the park through the trees it's no problem keeping your orientation. Even with the streets nearby and the soft sounds of cars driving by in the background, the forest felt relaxing and quiet. We absolutely loved the self-guided Wireless Wilderness audio tour provided by the park. There are multiple signs posted throughout the park with a phone number to call and a stop number to dial to learn about the ecology of the park. There are 16 stops that we found while wandering around. Overall, this park is definitely worth a visit!

In a city that is known for tearing down and paving over so much of our history, it is wonderful that this was saved and has been made into a place that visitors can visit and experience. I went with some friends from Kingwood on a Photo Walk of the area, we were lucky that the light and sound experience was still going on, each column in the cistern has LED lighting that changes to the tune of some aethereal music playing silently, the acoustics of the cistern make it sound so beautiful and mesmerizing. When you purchase your ticket online you choose one of the available times, upon entry they give you 30 minutes, the time passed quickly. Be ready if you are taking pictures or better yet, a video. Smart phones work great but you might consider turning off auto focus and just focusing manually if you know how because when it gets dark for a moment and then the lights come on most cameras auto focus has to search for focus so it goes in and out of focus. When you leave, there is a skateboard park up above and worth some time for taking pictures of the acrobatic skating going on.

Definitely wear tennis shoes or closed toe shoes here. The trails are a good mixture of dirt and then some parts are cement. Nice fishing spot as well. Catch and release only. Be careful letting smaller kids near the pond. I have seen a kid slip and fall in. He was okay and got out, but after seeing that I keep an extra eye on my kids if we want to get close to the pond. They have a sand volleyball court. Lots of walking trails. Even behind the trees where a retention pond is. They have covered pavilions with picnic tables and bbq pits. Also love that the playground is covered and kids can play in the shade. That's a MUST for Texas parks!

    Super impressed by this park!…read more They've done a really great job with adding beautiful manmade waterfalls and such. The walking trail is very pleasant. FYI: the trail is paved and stroller accessible. On the way back, we took another trail which was dirt and had no issue taking the stroller on that as well. Nice playground for kids. There are bathrooms just past the playground. I initially thought they were closed because the gate had the lock still on it (in a locked position) but luckily, someone advised me that they were actually open. So, don't go by appearances and actually tug on the door! There are two relatively small parking lots that fill up quickly but there is also street parking available.
