This is a pretty decent park: I like the track when I need to walk or jog. The path isn't smooth so…read morewhen I was running it did feel kinda painful on my feet. It was quite uneven. The biggest highlight is the herb garden; I just love the scent that the garden gives off..its so refreshing. The play area for adults are just two swings near the children's playground. Sitting areas are all throughout the forest which is nice for relaxation. The only thing I had a problem with is the racial profiling I received from an Asian family; it was beyond disrespectful and I wasn't doing anything wrong at all. I was just walking to the swings and these people suspected that I was going to steal their children. Now, the Caucasians here didn't give me a problem; they were actually pretty friendly.

Located on FM 2351 in Friendswood, this park is small and has few amenities. If you are walking or…read morerunning along the outside edge of the path, you will cover approximately one mile. There are many areas of the path that are slightly uneven. The asphalt is starting to show wear and tear. There are not obvious pot holes along the running area but it is slightly uneven. Pay attention to where you are stepping so you don't end up with a sprained ankle. There are some parts of the path where you will be walking on the road. If you are not walking or running, there is a playground area and a multi-purpose field. There are also pavilions that can be used. I would assume they can be reserved but I do not know that for a fact. It is dog friendly but is not considered a dog park. All pets should be kept on leashes. Bottom line: A decent urban park located in Friendswood. Decent running trails but are starting to show their age. Could use an upgrade. Upgrades could result in more stars. Until then, I'll give them three stars.

The Planned Development is proposed to include office, continuing care retirement center, retail, condominiums, townhomes and apartments. As for now, the playgrounds are AMAZING! One playground is for younger kids and one is for older kids. Both are shaded! There is a covered pavilion between the two with picnic tables. Next to the playground is an amphitheater. (Not sure what it will be used for just yet but it looks super neat!) Along the lake is a walking/biking trail. On a windy day, the fountain in the lake will provide a refreshing mist. It will definitely be cool to watch this area transform over time. Like I said, right now, this is literally in the middle of nowhere. Only negative is that the only trash can near the playground is overflowing with garbage. My guess is that because this place is so secluded, trash emptying might be neglected. All in all, a great park!!

Located in the Lower Kirby District of Pearland, Ivy Park is a new public park created by the…read moreprivate group of developers, American Modern Green. The Ivy District is a mixed-use project which will eventually be home to offices, apartments, retail centers, along with this public park. Unfortunately, it seems that there have been some delays including legal obstacles in project development and it's unclear what the timeline of finishing will look like. That being said, the public park portion of the development is currently open! There is some work to do - There is no official parking lot (parallel parking on the street is available), trash cans, or working restrooms yet. The park includes a children's playground, a few manmade lakes complete with lit up fountains, and surrounding trails that start around the lake and eventually branch off into woods. There is even a pedestrian bridge that connects to Shadow Creek Ranch and allows you to visit the Shadow Creek Nature Trail. We spent about 30 minutes enjoying the trails at sunset. As residents of the area, we think this park is just what Pearland needs and hope it will be completed soon!

I didn't see a parking lot, and I must say, in the end, I was happy there wasn't a parking lot, or I didn't see one. But I was happy because it allowed me to see how charming this neighborhood was, and there were sidewalks. The trees display a life of their own, and that's in the park and neighborhood; the branches were shaped in all kinds of ways, with moss hanging low. Even the sidewalks had character; they were high, low, and some cracked, not from wear or tear; it's how it settled. Some houses were tall and stately, some looked to have that container look, and some were townhouses with alleys out back. And getting back to the park, a zigzag trail runs through the park, which is nice; there's a grassy area to sit and a children's area. I don't know what organization hosted the Mistletoe, but the location was great, and the event was wonderful! Santa was there taking pictures with families and furbabies. A wonderful band played, the decorations were pretty, and the vendors brought the holiday cheer!

I would tell you a few things that needs to be fixed about this park, but what good would that do? I guess it may help clear my mind of a few things: Number one: This park grass isn't sparkly green, it has brown patches and it has ant hills on it. Number two: The paths are old and rocky, so sometimes when it rains it floods the path and the grass..so good luck with walking around the waters in your shoes. Number three: now number three is pretty intense and if you are a dog lover or pet lover what I am about to say may upset you greatly, BUT number three: People are prone to dumping dead-ran over dogs here. My sister and I came here to walk my dog, Pocky and right there in the open we saw a decomposing dog just laying there beyond dead. I tell you what--it was so bad that I couldn't even see that dog eyes..it was too graphic for me. OH and Number four: The parking lot has a big pothole as you are driving in..you may run right into it and it is deep. All is well all is well..I hope! Now, I am not sure if anybody else cares for what I saw. The only people that seemed to take notice was my sister and I. I am so glad my dog, Pocky didn't see it. Anyways, the good of this park is that it is closer to my house. It has a big long path to walk the dog or yourself. It has a tennis court, a giant basketball court, an okay soccer field, it is residential, and lots of parking. Locals park on the street and there is also additional parking. If you have use the restroom, there is a fairly large one stall port-a-potty near the trash cans.
