A truly excellent little park in the middle of a big city neighborhood. A special place for kiddos to explore and learn. Along with some super fun places to take photos!

This is a nice park. The play equipment is appropriate for both very young and a little older kids. The discovery center has a few animals for viewing: snakes, bugs, turtles, frogs, and a hedgehog tenrec. There are some short nature paths and picnic tables.

Nature park with kids play area, sand pit, a pond with nets, play house etc. This park is located near the nature discovery center. Not so crowded as well. You can find few benches around the park. The nature trails leads to the nature discovery center. A good place for bird watching.They have their own parking lot. One near the nature discovery center and other one near right opposite the Evergreen Park, small one but manageable. Has a restroom near the nature discovery center.

This is one of my favorite parks in Houston. I would highly recommend to anyone outdoorsy who likes nature and animals. It is much more than just a park. There are actually two parks here, a nature center, walking paths, a small pond and a pool. The parks are very large with ample space to play soccer, badminton, etc. The playgrounds themselves are average but there are also several swing sets on both parks. These parks are across the street from each other. I call one a big kid park and the other a little kid park. The big park is great (on the side with the pool). It is the side with the little kid park though that has all the cool nature and play features. This side has a regular, smaller kid playground and swing set but also has a creative play/free play area with a sand box, play house, a big, life size wooden Lego set and all kinds of toys. The nature discovery center which manages this area has frequent unique activities to encourage kids to play in new ways. I have been very impressed with them to say the least. (Again, I am am outdoorsy person and they seem to be on the same wavelength.) Beyond the play area is a small pond with fish nets for the kids to play with and benches for anyone who just wants to relax. The nature trails then take over and lead to the nature discovery center. I absolutely love the nature discovery center. It has a place for parties, well maintained bathrooms and a few animals. I will leave a full review on a post for the discovery center.

I was a big fan of this playground/play space because it was wonderful, open-ended, natural play. Most playgrounds are straight forward but this had an additional space with sand, trucks, a wheelbarrow, some random loose parts to imagine with, a play house, and utensils. Needless to say, most of the kids were in the open-ended natural play area and the jungle gym was often vacant (although it was a good jungle gym as far as those go). Oh and swings & benches too. Its also connected by trails to the nature discovery center but we werent too impressed with the indoors part of that. The small trails are good though with some outdoor animals in pens!

Quiet little park tucked in corner of nice neighborhood behind water plant. Its hard to find and easy to miss turn. Small field for soccer players. Small dog park ok. ***Large Dog Park...Stay Away. Everytime I have gone, dogs were fighting with injuries. Pet Owners should know if they have a reactive or nonsocial dog. They should NOT be at the dog park. No place for aggressive dogs!!!
