I'd recommend getting here early afternoon before the post-work rush. Easy sign in and sign up process - just scan the QR code at the front desk to sign up, enter in address, etc. Then sign in on the paper in the binder for access to either the swimming pool or the fitness center.

They have mini golfing where you can rent equipment inside the facility. They have a great playground area and outdoor fitness equipment. Inside the facility, they have a free pool and gym area. They offer a variety of classes such as yoga, water aerobics, etc. Make sure to check out their website or pick up their schedule at the facility for hours of operation. For first timers, you will have to fill out a form and don't forget to bring a large sized towel for workouts! There's a really great large dog park next door but there's no entrance to the dog park from Mary Jo Peckham. You would have to park at the Katy Library to enter the dog park.

Located in south of Katy, there's a lot to like about this park.

Love this park with the fishing animals and beautiful walking pathways. So glad it's close to home.read more

The park has a pavilion which you can rent for $125 deposit which will be returned to you after the event and satisfactory cleanup. The pavilion has both a sink with running water and a huge BBQ grill that uses charcoal. There is also a gazebo which is first come first serve and clean bathrooms. I think this will work for our event the question was whether we could boil crawfish onsite and they said we could. Unfortunately there can be no alcoholic beverages with out a policeman. Aw well.... If you proceed further into the park it has several soccer fields and baseball diamond for palay.

We have been testing new parks around town and stumbled across this one off of two big roads,…read morenestled behind a high school and in-between different neighborhoods. It is ungated and large, but right on a busy intersection, which is scarier with smaller kids playing everywhere. There are two seating areas, a large one with lots of tables and a smaller one with one table underneath the awnings. There are restroom facilities on location but I did not check to see if they were unlocked (as other reviewer said). There was a small putt-putt area with a flat grassland with lots of holes for playing, but no balls or clubs around. Three large areas of play were set up, each with their own playscapes and smaller amenities. Lots of twirly things for kids to sit, stand, or ride on. Lots of open spaces to run around or fly a kite, maybe?, And sidewalks for kids to ride bikes or scooters. The areas are sort of divided into age groups for recommendations on who should play where to help parents and kids control some of the chaos otherwise. It sort of works but there is still a good smattering of kids of all ages all over. There were only traditional swings with infant seats. They had the giant rope swing thing for older kids, but no regular swings. The parking lot was easy to access and had ample spaces available. They was a lot of people coming and going during spring break. We were here for almost two hours and it didn't get nearly 1/3 as crowded as Exploration Park and was just as fun! The ice cream man with the power ranger sidekick made it to this park, too, and made a killing in sales. Lol. I would recommend this park, but be careful about kids running around because they could wander into the street. The open grassy areas would be great for playing soccer or catch if there was a gate or something to stop kids from bolting after rolling toys, which is the only reason I took one star off of this otherwise beautiful, spacious and fun park.

All their set ups are so cute and there are plenty of learning stations for kids too. It's a great variety of stations for all kinds of interests. They give you a token to redeem for a free snack at the end of your visit which my kiddo loves every time we come here. The staff is always very friendly too. The only thing I don't love is that you have to make a reservation for the play session you want and it's not that long. I can understand that it's probably for the purpose of cleaning in between sessions and regulating the amount of people coming in but I think for the price it should be longer play times. I also wish there was a membership option. But other than that we still love it here.
