    I really like this park because if the different trails. It's very huge and has lots to get into. I was first introduced to this park by the Houston Women's Hiking group, they had a hike out this way and at the time I lived an hour away. The drive was long, but well worth it. We covered 5 miles of hiking through the forest. The forest trails aren't primarily flat, but has some slopes. Its covered in pine needles making the walk easier with hiking boots. Poles aren't necessary needed. When I come alone, I enjoy walking the trail around the pond admiring the trees and ducks. I also really like the trail that's alongside the residential area. It's secluded to say that there isn't a lot of foot traffic. Last week, I came here to show Sneakers the park. We initially went to the dog park. The small section is medium sized with a walking path around. The larger dog park is huge. There was no one in the smaller park when we were there so we left and went to walk the pond trail. There's restrooms onsite next to the gigantic pavilion with the electric fan. Sometimes during events, the sheriff will close the whole park. I remember the weekend before Halloween, my hiking group had a planned hike here, but we weren't allowed in. I was disappointed since I'd driven so far to get here. Also, if you're looking for lunch check out Wheel House Kitchen just 2 minutes away then come back to enjoy the park. There's activities for everyone.

    Then here a long time ago, it has changed a lot absolutely gorgeous. Could not get over it. There are tons of pavilions and barbecue pits smokers lots of different play areas a dog to fish off of a huge running course. It would take several trips to explore the whole thing thoroughly and still, I think you might be surprised to come back and find something you'd never seen before. It be a beautiful place to take pictures in the evening or to have a picnic date.

    Really awesome park! I came here with my pup for a fishing day. Catch and release park that has a beautiful layout. There are picnic tables and sitting areas for those who want to enjoy a meal outdoors or just to relax with family. Awesome little pond/lake area for fishing. Definitely enjoyed exploring this park. Do recommend if you live close by.

    Pond full of lotus plants July 2022. Been coming here since early 80s This park has had a lotus outbreak before many years ago and has seen many changes over the years. This is a very diverse park and is sure to find a interest for just about anyone in sports, hiking, fishing or a picnic. Wildlife can be seen here also something for the shutterbugs (camera people) . Thanks Roy for a great p

    What a gorgeous and well kept park! With trees getting chopped down ever so frequently around here to build homes, it's so nice to come to a park that helps you embrace nature again and admire God's creations. The park is so large that it can accommodate so many visitors without it ever feeling packed. So nice for all of us to be able to enjoy this park without feeling like we picked a bad day to do it (Sunday). Parking was a breeze as well. There's a lovely lake for great catch and release fishing and many ducks and squirrels ready to be fed by a friendly patron. You can take a stroll, jog, or bike with a beautiful scenery on their various trails ranging from .7 to 3.23 miles long. Quite a few different playground areas for kiddies big and small, and nice grassy areas and picnics tables and benches scattered throughout. I love that there's a guy on a golf cart rolling around and making sure facilities and everything is up to par too. They have a large pavilion that can be reserved for a fee, and another gazebo area that can be used for nice gatherings/birthday parties on a first come, first serve basis. I'll definitely be coming back to relax, and maybe swing on the swings...never too old for that!

    Nice place, peaceful and beautiful. Suitable for walking around, barbeque, and fishing.

    Nature walk! She's taking in all the stuff and things!

    This is a great and beautifully maintained park! I go here 1-2 times a week with my puppy dog and she just loves every second of it! The dog park is very large, completely fenced in and has about a half mile of track for people to walk around on. They have hoses to wash your dogs feet off with because it gets muddy with all the rain. I can't even say the word "park" any more with out my Layla getting all excited

    Burrough's Park combines all the best park elements into one. There's sports fields, playgrounds, a huge pavillion, a lake for fishing and miles of trails to explore. I've been here with large (150 people) and small groups and it works well for each of these occaisions. Definitely a hidden gem of the Harris County park system. They do need to work on their "hedge maze" it's pretty sparse and doesn't really work.

It has a dog park near the entrance/exit and lot of parking spaces. There are 2 huge covered area with the middle part being clean restrooms. I also saw some kids bday party taking place under one of the area and there were still places to sit that wasn't in their party. I love that it has turf and also some real grass, perfect for picnicking. But what we really enjoyed was the center of it all, the splash pad. Perfect for hot days and also the fact that they had a truck there selling ice pops and cold treats which made it extra worth it. Huge slides and play house, only downside is when I went the biggest slide wasn't in use. But there are more slides and do much more to do. We had fun and will be back ever so often.

There's also a dog park right next door.
