The trails are wide, well-maintained, and easy to follow, with minimal elevation gain, making it perfect for a steady, enjoyable hike without feeling punishing. It took about four hours at a comfortable pace, and the scenery stayed peaceful and scenic the entire way. If the weather is nice, this trail system is hard to beat. Great for distance hikers, casual walkers, or anyone looking for a long, calming outdoor escape without technical terrain. Highly recommend.

If you do the paved trails, it'll lead you throughout the park and around the lake. The dirt trails are at the pavilion area and lead to the Spring Creek area. The Pavilion is a covered area with numerous picnic tables if you're looking to set up for a nice meal or a gathering. There's also a playground area nearby along with the lake where you can go fishing or walk around. Did I mention the size of this park and how much ground it covers!? That's one of the best features is the exploring you can do on the trails. Hands down one of my favorite parks in Harris County!

Burroughs Park is one of those places that makes you appreciate having great local parks nearby…read more It's huge and has a little bit of everything -- fishing ponds, multiple playgrounds for kids of different ages, long walking trails, and plenty of open space to just enjoy being outside. The playground areas are especially great for families because there are several scattered throughout the park, so it never feels overly crowded. The fishing ponds are also a nice touch if you want to slow things down and relax for a bit. It's a great spot for a weekend walk, letting the kids burn off some energy, or just getting some fresh air. The park is generally well maintained and there's plenty of room to spread out. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it can get pretty busy on nice days and parking near the playgrounds fills up fast. But overall, it's definitely one of the better parks in the area and worth the visit.

I have spent countless hours and miles hiking up and down the Spring Creek trail system…read more It runs for about 14 miles and there are 4 official trailhead points that have parking and many, many other areas where you can just park, or get dropped off and go. I've hiked here in every kind of weather all year long. I love how there is always something new to see and its so wonderful to live in the city but so close to a place where you can go and not even hear a car. I've seen owls, alligators, wild boar, deer, snakes, and so many different kids of birds. I've lived all over the country as we used to be a military family and this was a hard move for me, initially. I'm not near any of my family here, and I had been living near mountains or the ocean my entire adult life. But I've grown to love the bayou wildlife and scenery as well.

Wow, and not in a good way. My husband booked this 'adventure' as a treat while we are in town. We…read moretravel full time and really enjoy boat and train excursions. We were looking forward to a calm, romantic evening on a sunset cruise. As many reviews state, the parking situation is dismal. The lot is confusing and in bad shape. We boarded the boat and it looked good from afar, but once on board, it was dirty, rundown and full of bugs/spider webs. There was no safety brief or information given. The two staff members we spoke to were very nice. The boat didn't leave until well past sundown, so the sunset was not a part of the experience. We didn't experience the meal so I cannot comment on that. Unfortunately, the music on the interior of deck 2 was much too loud for us and deck one had the meal, then a saxophone player that was also not the calm, soothing experience we had hoped for. So, we got stuck on the top deck exterior area. This would have been great because the weather was gorgeous. However, the seating is sparse and awful; hard metal benches, the few with cushions were filthy and so thin that they made no difference. The biggest disappointment for us was that they allow smoking on ALL deck exteriors. Most of the staff are smokers as were many of the customers. As non-smokers, we could not escape the smoke. There was a group smoking marijuana also which really stunk up the air. It would be nice if there was a designated smoking area at the back of the boat so that non-smokers had some respite. We spent three hours standing at the front of the top deck, trying to stay upwind of smokers. I still came home with a headache and the smell of smoke on my clothing. The boat has great potential, it just needs some good deep cleaning, seating and maintenance. It would have been nice to have some dialogue that gave information about the history of the boat and the area. A designated area for smoking would be a huge improvement. I realize the parking lot is a shared area, but better signage to where to board the boat and improvements for the lighting and surface of the lot is needed. My husband, who didn't have a drop of alcohol, tripped over a huge crack and fell in the parking lot. It was a terrible topper to an already bad experience.

They have a toddler area, an older kids area, and the dinosaur in the middle with a small open grass area. I'd say this is a good park for ages 3-7, my 9 year old wasn't as inclined to enjoy the amenities as they were and mountain climbed on top of everything. Overall it's a quaint and cute little park well maintained. Think I saw 2 tables with benches, a water fountain with attached dog fountain. There isn't designated parking which even further solidifies it's more for the surrounding neighborhood.

In the summertime when school is out many moms bring their elementary grade school kiddos and toddlers to play.

Also you'll find a picnic table and a fresh dog drinking fountain. Dogs are allowed on a leash. This is not an official dog park. Feel free to bring a picnic basket and enjoy the beautiful woods in this small 2 acre neighborhood park. This also can be a teenager hangout at night but the cops frequent it at night now looking for underage or of age partiers. I wouldn't suggest parting here anymore. If you're looking for basket ball, tennis courts, cooking grills and restroom facilities you'll have to go further down Cochrans Crossing to the larger park. Parking is on the street curb.
