This is a really well done park. There are patged bike / running paths, a skate park, playground, visitor center and shaded pavilion with six picnic tables. The view of the city is excellent and the natural trees, plants and bushes make for a very aesthetically pleasing experience. I am really glad that I found this place. The facilities are much better than the usual and the infrastructure in general far exceeded my expectations. The playground is wheel chair accessible and though some of it was closed off (i.e. the slide) when we visited it still had so much to offer. The designers chose natural elements and it turned out very nice. It instantly became one of my top 3 favorite outdoor places in Houston.

This place is okay. They dont have much things to do for kids. All they really have is a slide and little area for kids to play in sand.

Nice park we went here with our photographer to take graduation pictures. Great background scenes of downtown houston and more for our pics taken at this park

I think Houston does a great job of creating escapes from the chaos of this city right in the middle of the city. My girls loved playing in the sand as there are not many opportunities to do that around here.

Kids will love this place! The playground is very nice, so is the big sand area. Nice place to spend some time at.

There are large pipes and drums to make music with, a slide, netting to climb, a view of the bayou, and a dry creek with a pump to make water flow.

Lots of fun and interesting things for kids to do! Handicap accessible too.

Barbara Fish Daniel Nature Play Area and Picnic Pavilion is one of the park’s most popular destinations.There is a picnic pavilion with tables and seats and kids play area. Features of the play area include: a boulder rock scramble, a rolling lawn, a stream and waterfall, climbing logs and stones, a 33-foot slide and a tri-level tree house/boat deck with climbing net.

So much fun for a family!! The history of this location is very overwhelming. I love that there is a shaved ice stand here to serve you on hot days, and plenty of shaded places to sit and eat

Beautiful place

Love this place! Currently Closed due to BIG 4th of July event!

This is one of my most peaceful places in the city, to me anyway. Its so breath taking, beautiful skyline of Houston Texas. I love the whole atmosphere with the Cistern, Skate Park & play area it gives all a welcoming appeal and just invites you In.... come alone or bring your kids! Its a sight you must see!

Great park to bring kids. Lots of interesting things to do and experience. Great backdrop with the city there as well. After we left my son passed out, and woke up wanting to go back to the new park. Great place.

Nice little pavilion. Need better trash receptacles for picnics

Super fun, but if you are alone with more than 1 child it will be challenging to keep and eye on them at all times.

Fun place, not your typical playground/play area. Maybe better for slightly older kids and kids in groups and not toddlers as much. A great place for kids to run and use their imagination.

A great place to bring kids. Lots of fun options for them to play on from a 30ft slide to a natural splash pad made from river rocks complete with a water wheel. One of the best parks in Houston.

They got this beast ass slide and logs you got to climb to get to it.

Has a nice little playground and a skate park nearby.

Great nature playground with a long slide to tire the kids out!

This is an excellent park. I especially appreciated how natural features are predominant, instead of simply having a few plastic play structures surrounded by mulch.

Lovely play area for young children. Plenty to keep them busy and a well shaded picnic area

Great for photo opportunities

Awesome place to take the kids

Beautiful place to photograph and have play dates!!!

Great outdoors
