A large open track perfect for walking, running, and taking the bike for a ride. There are a few benches for sitting scattered about, but the major feature of this park is the large track. Wonderful views of the field at the center of the track throughout. There is a small playground for kids at the front end of the park. No public restrooms, water fountains, or porta-potties. Great park, only complaint was the noise pollution of the traffic, but that almost seems inevitable in the city.

This park is great! Its smaller than the other parks around its area, but it has a nice jogging trail with a small playground for kids. I went around 3pm and the park was near empty with 5 to 6 people there at a time. If you want to get a nice social distance jog, come early. This is one of those whole in a wall parks that you wont notice until you drive by it. The value may go down as people start discovering it and it gets crowded, but right now its my favorite park to jog. Wish I would have found this peaceful gem a long time ago.

Sunset beautiful from east side of 1.13 mile, circular track (hiking/biking). Tree lined on west side of park. Understand Mike Driscoll Park is a flood control bowl with a cement spillway on the north side, & a small kiddie park (S.E. corner). Entrance & Exit are on south bound Houston West Center Rd (east of Dairy Ashford) 200 yards north of limited parking under the Westpark Tollway. /// /// Traffic lights at Westpark Tollway Are Complex / Pay Attention. Sorry about compass descriptions.

The park was decent. A nice feature was that parking is under the tollway so theres shade. If I could suggest improvements it would be to take advantage of the big field the loop surrounds and add pond or lake or some other attractions to make it look nicer because right now its just a big field of dead grass and trees. Also water fountains, bathrooms, etc. But overall, it is a decent park to get some exercise at.

Lots of trees, if there were water fountains and at least one bathroom it would be perfect.

The park is not crowded and its clean. Good place to take a walk if the stinch of nearby sewer does not bother you. It has a park for small and bigger kids and a few swings.

This park is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of life. Under the westpark tollway its surprisingly quiet and a nice spot to bring your kids if they are younger. Has a nice walking trail around the storm pond as well. Do be careful with following the rules of the park and road though as the constable who patrols the tollway loves to sit in the parking area and give out tickets.

There are nice size cats in Bread Bayou. We had to switch to salt water gear to keep the fish from stripping the line.

Small little park with kids play area. There is a walking trail around the park to walk, run, and jogging. Beautiful scenic view with lots of greenery.Most of the areas around the park is clean and well-maintained. Average vehicle park, and the interesting thing is the parking area is under a highway flyover.

Review №26

I would not consider this a true park, since I believe its primary purpose is as a water reservoir, and secondary purpose is a park. It has a very small fenced playground for younger kids and an excellent 1.2 mile paved trail around the reservoir for walking and running. I applaud its dual purpose function, but be advised that it does not have water fountains or restrooms.

This is a nice quiet place to walk. Not crowded at all. Its amazing how the city provides dog bags, but dog owners still refuse to pick up after their dogs, unbelievable! Nothing worse than the ones who let their dogs poop ON the trail. Why, when there is grass on both sides! Someone got sick and instead of turning slightly to the grass, threw up right on the trail, disgusting!

A great addition to the western side of Houston! The playground is in good condition and is gated, the parking lot is covered, and the walking route is large and offers a pleasant view of nature. No bathrooms are to be found here, which makes this a little tough to visit for long periods of time.

Each loop is a little over a mile. The track is in good condition and its pretty safe. it would help if they added a water fountain for those hot summer days. Great spot if you dont want to drive all the way out to Memorial Park

I love how most of the parking is covered here under the westpark tollway. Nothing beats getting into a car that isnt hotter than Houston already is. Each lap is a little over a mile so its easy to track your speed and progress here with having to hold any apps open.
