Wish the pool had a bigger grassy area for patrons to lounge and sunbathe on towels and blankets. Disappointed that they didnt have proper shower and changing areas in the restrooms. All they had were toilet stalls in the womens restroom. The city only offers two outdoor rinse-off showers for everyone to use. They probably made it bare minimum like that for safety reasons.

We recently took a day off and wanted to take our bikes out for a spin. After hitting Kitty Hollow…read morein Missouri City and Oyster Creek in Sugar Land, we decided to try to find Memorial Park in Sugar Land. Well, Siri had trouble finding Memorial Park. But she did point us to this one. It's an older neighborhood in Sugar Land and it looks like it's been there forever. But it's totally worth finding: - Well maintained bike/jogging trail that goes for a couple of miles - Skate park for the teenage boys in your family - Tennis - Baseball/Softball fields that are well maintained and used by the Little League - Sand Volleyball - A public pool The pool is pretty basic but it ranges from 3 to 12 feet and has 2 diving boards. It's also dirt cheap. Sugar Land residents pay $1 for kids under 18 before 5 and $2.25 for adults before 5, $0.50 for kids/$1.00 for adults after 5. Non residents can use the pool for a little more: $1.25 for kids under 18 and $2.85 for adults before 5, $0.65 for kids and $1.25 for adults after 5. We eventually found Memorial Park in a newer part of Sugar Land. But the pool at City Park is a good option for the summer if you don't have ready access to one in your neighborhood and the trails are well maintained. If your kids are into skateboards, the skate park has shade and looked pretty popular.

He almost drowned and the owner of the dogs just stared at me while I yelled at his dogs and contemplated if I needed to get in the water to rescue my dog. Another patron came and apologized and said that that is not a normal occurrence there but we probably won't go back. It was a scary situation and I'm just not comfortable with what happened. We have been taking our dog to Zoomies in the heights because they make sure the dogs are friendly and vaccinated and they address any aggressive behavior. We will just keep going there because it's not worth the stress!

We attended a birthday party here. The kids had a lot of fun. It was the first time skating and we…read moredid rent one of the pvc pipe skate helper/walker things. It gave the kids a lot more confidence in their skating abilities (despite still falling a lot, everything they let go and tried on their own.) Despite falling a lot, they kept trying because there were so many other kids there trying and falling too. They had a beginner skating rink at the end. There were a lot of big kids back there working on tricks or just goofing off, but the younger kids still had plenty of space to practice in the smaller rink instead of being in the main rink. They did glow lights for a little bit, maybe 30 mins, and the kids liked that a lot. We were there for maybe 2 hours, with a mini pizza break. There were not many workers there, so adults or skaters had to police their own chaos on the rinks. The workers alternated between the skate rental booth, the concessions, and the walker rental/prizes area. As the afternoon wore on and it became more crowded, it did get a lot more chaotic and somewhat dangerous for the younger skaters, which is why I have the lower rating. For what it was, it is still worth the visit id you have never been. If you have younger kids, I would suggest coming in earlier. As the afternoon wore on I to the evening, it was a lot more crowded overall and a lot busier with teens and adults. The concessions were fine. Having a birthday party here was also just ok - there was no dedicated party host despite the host asking for one for their party and the kids kind of scattered everywhere. It did give everyone a chance w to hang out and play together or apart. Whichever they wished. There was an all call to come back to the tables for food and cake, so that was nice. It was a good way to get a bunch of kids to try something new, though, so that was a lot of fun. I felt bad, as a parent, needing to rent a walker for my kids and then it going to the tab of the parents. There was not a way to pay for it on my end, unless the worker was misinformed. We would be back to try it some more.

It has a library, swimming pool, soccer fields, basketball courts, and I believe there's a tennis court as well. Since it was already close to closing time at 8 pm, we didn't get a chance to go inside, but the facilities appear to be fairly new. There were quite a lot of people around, with families walking, kids playing sports, and people enjoying the different amenities. It was nice to see such a diverse group of people making good use of this public space. There's also a walking trail, so it's a nice place to bring the family or simply come by yourself for a leisurely walk, some fresh air, or a little people-watching. I didn't notice any public restrooms outside, though, so that's something to keep in mind. Overall, it seems like a great community facility and a nice place to spend some time outdoors.

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.
