Great place to run and play. The playground is almost all wooden structures designed to be interactive. They are getting a little worn down, but still fun for the kids. Tons of swings and play area for all ages. Tennis courts, baseball field, swings, and picnic area are easy to access. There is a ninja or climbing course that makes a loop great for bigger kids.

This park is wonderful, one of our favorites in the area! The structures are unique, made of wood and tires! The park is huge, and there is a safe wooden area where my boys like to play in the different copses. Lots of room for imaginative play. There is a covered pavilion with lots of picnic tables and places for parents to sit. The play structures are not shaded at all and sometimes there are fire ant piles in the big grassy play area, but not near the play structures. Our boys are 4 and 6, but weve been going here for several years and enjoying it. Perfect for under 10s.

The Tomball pool is a wonderful city treasure. Its free and great on a hot summer day. The water calms your mind and strengthen your body.

Good park for kiddos to play. Has a little area and the rest of the park is creative. Uses tires and wood structures that forces kids to climb, use their imagination and get out some energy!!

This is a great little part! A perfect place to bring the kids or to walk your dog. They have an asphalt track that goes around the entire park + tennis courts, swimming pool, basketball, volleyball, and a pavilion plus there are bathrooms here. Plenty of playing areas for the kids to swing a romp around and plenty of parking. Its not far from the Tomball baseball fields either.

Excellent park for kids and families. It has two zip lines, swings, tire swings, a small forest to explore, forts to climb, a young kids section, baseball diamond, swim pool, tennis courts, fields to run in, water fountain, pavilion for parties, and so many more kid related play parts to park.We spent hours at the park. Best part was the little trails in the woods that we explored.

This is a very unique park for kids of all ages. It has your normal swings and slides for toddlers and younger kids. But, it also has an obstacle course, original tire swings, zip lines, tire climbing structure and tire hammock. There is also restrooms and water fountains and a couple of shaded seating areas for adults. I have a 10 and 13 yr old and they had a blast. We will definitely be coming back to this park.

Love this park! One of the best playgrounds around entirely made out of wood and has been there since I was a child. It could use some upkeep and small touches but it is amazing fun for kids of all ages. A swinging bench, two zip lines and several tire swings as well as a dozen or so baby and regular swings this park also has a baseball field and a pavilion with tables that is rentable for events. There is another park right across the road with smaller but newer playgrounds, a beach volleyball court and a handicap accessible swing!

Wonderful place to bring the kids. Swings, slides, ropes, zipline, climbing wall...Kinda muddy in the winter but very fun. Right by the tomball pool across the street from two more playgrounds.

I grew up near a park exactly like this one. This park brings back so many wonderful memories of my childhood. All of the playgrounds are made of wooden structures that prompts children to use their imagination. From wooden cars to castles, this park has it all. Friendly, fenced in areas for younger children and tons of swings. I will definitely take my children here.

Review №18

Its a neat design on a great property but lacks a bit of maintenance. Its got minimal shade so bring the sun screen. The structures are very tall and theres no mulch just some dirt and sand thus its a hard surface for a fall. It has a climbing wall, various swings, zip lines, tire swings, and a lot of wooden and tire structures. There are picnic tables with fans under a shaded covered porch area. Theres a water fountain and hose to rinse of the kids sandy feet afterwards. Its across the parking lot from a pool and not fully fenced. There is another playground across the street.

My kiddos love this place. Weve spent the last few summers going to the pool here at least once a week, and have invited many friends to join us too.I am disappointed about a new rule they have though, prohibiting shirts in the pool. I can understand the issues with cotton shirts clogging filters (my parents had a pool when I was a teen, and lint was a big issue), but now our boys are no longer allowed to wear swim shirts - which are made of the same material as my swimsuit!Apparently people are allowed to wear a plain white cotton t-shirt, which do much of anything for the sun protection or modesty for which people wear swim shirts.

I just love this park! It includes so many elements which I have never seen at other parks. For example a small rock climbing wall and a giant swing porch with two benches facing one another. Also it features tennis courts, public pool and of course Pokemon go stops/gym for your outdoor enjoyment.

Its a relatively small park but its got a lot to offer there is a public pool and tennis courts at this park, a large wooden playground and a baseball field. This park also has a dining pavilion and a decent sized groomed lawn area at the back. Its also right across the street from another park.

Such a unique park! We love bringing our daughter here. It has lots of different things to do. Theres a smaller area for toddlers and a bigger play area for older kids. Lots of regular swings and even tire swings! We always have a blast when we go. Definitely a fun place to go for a change of pace from a regular old jungle gym.

Lots of different play areas. Perfect for any age. No dogs allowed

Review №32

Its great, I love that it has shared benches near the past equipment so that parents can sit and relax while the littles play. The equipment is nice, the wooden party sets and tire settings are a nice shift from your today parks, and there is a large pictnic/party area with large fans as well. the only reason this doesnt get five stars for me is theres no bathroom near by... At least that Im aware of.

It is a lot of fun there. They even have a pool that is open during the summer. The park is clean. I also saw a baseball field where you can play baseball or kickball. There is a tennis court on property. The whole play ground is made out of recycled items. It is family friendly.

Was here for a swim meet and there was a decent amount of parking around and pool was nice. Restrooms could use some upkeep but a lot of that is due to people who make a mess in them.

Nice courts, but they need some attention. Surface is peeling in places as a result of chairs and canopies being set up on the courts for a swim meet a few years ago.Alex A.

Love love love love love this park. My babies loves this park and are always entertained. Cant find a single thing bad about it. Its definitely saved me a lot of days stuck indoors. Just take the kids down here and they will play just about all day till they drop and still want to play more. They have a specific baby section which is good because it saves little ones from getting trampled but bigger ones but they can do just the same as the older kids.

The life guards here are amazing!!! They truly are dedicated to the job. I watched them rescue two children one was my 9 year old son. I am so grateful and cannot express my gratitude. The pool is very clean and it just a nice family environment. 5 stars!!!

This is such a fun and unique park. There is a lot of space to run and play, and the layout and design is unlike any other park weve been to. Constructed mainly from wood and tires, attractions include baby swings, big kid swings, and tire swings; ziplines; make-believe tractors that encourage imaginative play; climbing walls and other climbing structures; and so much more. I would certainly recommend this park to anyone with littles. Its a blast!

Matheson Park is a gem. Children will find endless adventure with the play structure. Parents, plan a day trip. Start at the pool, picnic at the parks shade structure, and wrappup the afternoon on the zip line or maybe the rock climbing wall.

Ive been bringing my son and little brother here since they were 5 years old, they are now 10 and they absolutely love it. The only thing that it needs is more swings for older kids as they only have swings for babies, other than that its perfect.

This park has so much to keep the kids busy, i was very impressed and my 6 year old had a blast. My only complaint is that I came home with about 6 bug bites, either mosquito or sand flea and that sucked.
