The Planned Development is proposed to include office, continuing care retirement center, retail, condominiums, townhomes and apartments. As for now, the playgrounds are AMAZING! One playground is for younger kids and one is for older kids. Both are shaded! There is a covered pavilion between the two with picnic tables. Next to the playground is an amphitheater. (Not sure what it will be used for just yet but it looks super neat!) Along the lake is a walking/biking trail. On a windy day, the fountain in the lake will provide a refreshing mist. It will definitely be cool to watch this area transform over time. Like I said, right now, this is literally in the middle of nowhere. Only negative is that the only trash can near the playground is overflowing with garbage. My guess is that because this place is so secluded, trash emptying might be neglected. All in all, a great park!!

Located in the Lower Kirby District of Pearland, Ivy Park is a new public park created by the…read moreprivate group of developers, American Modern Green. The Ivy District is a mixed-use project which will eventually be home to offices, apartments, retail centers, along with this public park. Unfortunately, it seems that there have been some delays including legal obstacles in project development and it's unclear what the timeline of finishing will look like. That being said, the public park portion of the development is currently open! There is some work to do - There is no official parking lot (parallel parking on the street is available), trash cans, or working restrooms yet. The park includes a children's playground, a few manmade lakes complete with lit up fountains, and surrounding trails that start around the lake and eventually branch off into woods. There is even a pedestrian bridge that connects to Shadow Creek Ranch and allows you to visit the Shadow Creek Nature Trail. We spent about 30 minutes enjoying the trails at sunset. As residents of the area, we think this park is just what Pearland needs and hope it will be completed soon!

We love this playground! We nicknamed it the "Treehouse playground". (The central tree is AMAZING.)…read moreThere are so many elements to this playground: climbing structure, slides, swings and an awesome ZIPLINE! There is also an open grassy area. What sets this park apart from others is that there are also tons of seating for the adults. Huge Adirondack chairs/rockers are located in a shaded area. There are also picnic tables near an outdoor fireplace. We love visiting this playground!

Southwyck is one of Pearland's most versatile parks. I've visited countless times throughout the…read morepast 20 years for volleyball, strolling, and potluck dinners with friends/family. It's always well maintained and has a vast amount of space for whatever activity you want to partake in. During the holidays, Pearland puts up a tall light display -- usually a Christmas tree or Santa. The only thing holding this park back is the lack of shade in several crucial areas. The artificial covering above the sandpit has oddly disappeared. Additionally, about 75% of the cement trail does not have any trees hanging overhead. More sun-blocking elements would let this park reach its full potential.

A children's play area, picnic area and walking trail. You can hear the gushing sound if water of the artificially created lake along the million dollar houses.

If you wanna take your dogs to a crappy dog park come to this one..it's available. I wouldn't…read morerecommend it, but do enter at your own risk. The smaller dog park lacks a lot of things. One thing I'm failing to understand is just because a breed of dog is small, why make the section for them tiny?! I mean, they need space and room to run, play, jump, and socialize too! The larger breed dog park is huge--it's about at estimate a parking lot size whereas the smaller dog park is at estimate two guest bedrooms combined together. Now, the larger dog park had jumping activities, several benches to sit, and enough space. Though, the smaller dog park had one table with shade--two ladies crowded the table. Two filthy buckets of water with brown dirt caked on the bottom. It had dead flies laying in the water--plus it probably had all kinds of saliva from sick and healthy dogs. It was pretty gross. In both small and large dog parks, it wasn't no doggie poop bags. They were stone cold out! I had to give this lady two bags of what I bought. The park was pathetic. It was strange because it was workers there in the park and its not like they seemed to care about what the park lacked. I guess they were there for the money only. Also, back in 2012 when my sister and I came out with Pocky and his sister the larger dog park had a hole in the fence. My two babies got out of the gate onto incoming traffic. I'm not sure if they fixed that or not, but that was a huge issue. Now, the event Paws in the Park was pretty ok. They had a lot of vendors selling things: dog clothing, accessories, nail trims, dog rescue groups, doggie pool, and lots of dogs. The event is free with free parking. That's the nice. However. the park is crap. It was bare-minimum--not a great park at all.

We have had planned play dates, weekly soccer practice and spontaneous evening park play and it's all been great. The playground works well for a wide range of ages--my kids are 2, 4, and 6, and they all enjoy it. There's plenty of open space for running around, playing soccer, walking dogs, or just enjoying being outside. The Gardens at Croix Park are also located on the grounds and add to the park's charm. One thing I especially appreciate is parking. Also the park is shaded which is a huge bonus during Texas summers. The gazebo is a nice touch, and we always enjoy spotting birds and squirrels while we're there. My kids love this park! If you're looking for a peaceful, family-friendly park with lots of green space, Croix Memorial Park is definitely worth a visit.

Not sure where the muddy spot that everyone talked about -- definitely wasn't the case !! Unfortunately because I think it rained earlier -- no one was here !! But it wasn't muddy at all so please don't let these reviews be a deterrent. :) Four stars because there was dog poop everywhere. We noticed Texans don't pick up their dog poop. Please do better lol. Also there were car keys on the table if anyone is missing their keys.

Southdown Park is a great recreation area!…read more We LOVE the playground!!!! It is covered by a giant shade/sail which is AMAZING in the hot Houston sun!! The ground cover is a non-mess rubber which is super cool. The playground is actually divided into two separate ones: one for younger kids and one for older kids. There is a Splash pad at this park BUT it is closed due to Covid. The Pearland Recreation website said that the splash pad is typically open April 1-October 1. Surprisingly, the restroom facilities were OPEN (despite Covid). Cleanliness of the faculty could use some work... it was pretty gross in there. Good to have access to a restroom nonetheless. Other than that, we didn't really explore the area much. There is a dog park here, a walking/fitness trail, pavilions for picnics, etc. We can't wait to return!

We were participating in a 5k. It started out on the street and I mentioned I was surprised we weren't on the path by the water. Then all of a sudden we were lol. It was a great event and I love getting close to natures. I'll definitely be back to walk again and take my Dogs. There were a few doggie bag stations i saw too so it's on my list of to dos

The parking lot is small and right off bay area near space center Blvd. So far when I have gone it hasn't been packed so can't say there is any parking issues at the moment. I have only gone in the late morning and early afternoon. They have and still are planting trees along the path. Once they have grown tall enough it will definitely provide some great shade. Right now there is no shade so straight sun and heat along the path. If you plan it right like when we get fallish weather or a cloudy day then it isn't bad for a loop. It is a paved path so if you bring your kiddo In a stroller or a jogging stroller then you won't have any issues. Plenty of room for a stroller and a runner to go by. It does connect to phase 4 so if you are looking for a longer path then continue on. According to my Garmin watch the phase 5 loop is 1.27 miles.
