If you're looking for a park with a great variety of things to do to entertain different ages, this is the place to go. The playground is big enough to accomodate lots of children, with the soft padding to keep them from getting hurt. There are picnic tables and bbq pits in the shade around the grounds, as well as...

Every community should be blessed with such a nice park. There are walking and jogging paths, a pier that extends over a lake stocked with trout and catfish, many picnic tables with grills, restrooms, ball fields, swings and other playground equipment, and a recreational center (which we didn't use). This is an extensive and well-used park. The community leaders deserve... More

Nice (but cool) pool which is never crowded because they limit attendance by making you reserve a spot in advance. Harris county residents get in free. Also has a workout room with exercise machines, outdoor handicap friendly playground and a so-so mini golf (but its free). I've often seen families picnicing using the rpovided grills and table areas as well... More

Park itself has a large pond and outdoor playground that is handicapped equipped. There is a pavilion for picnics There is also a swimming pool (indoors) and gym. You have to fill out a form to use the pool and gym. The residents of Harris County, Texas have a real bargain using the facilities because it is free. .

This is Harris County owned so residents of Harris county are given priority over non resident; putt putt golf clubs has be checked out; There's a nice dog park next to Peckam Park, with squirrels for dogs to chase in the morning. Dog Park next to Library and Police Station.

We love taking the kids to this park on nice afternoons! They have a man made stocked lake which is great for fishing (but they do check for your fishing license occasionally), gazebos, great playgrounds, and mini golf when you just want to do something different and its all FREE! I love the indoor pool during the colder months when... More
