I was with my son (3 years old) so I didn't feel like I was unwanted or in an area I shouldn't be. The houses around the park are massive and beautiful! Just sitting in that park watching your kid play and checking out the houses around me kind of gave me some motivation to maybe do better for myself. Weird thought lol, but I recommend just taking your kids there to play.

A couple of picnic tables are on site for families and friends to sit together and watch their kiddos. There are benches located around the park for people to sit and relax as well. There is also a swimming pool close by, but I believe it is for members only. During the summer, the parking lot is packed because of this. There is a port-a-potty on site, which earned this park one less star. It would be nice if they had an actual restroom with a hand washing sink.

I regret not going sooner. The weather was great, a little cooler. Ok no it was still hot but felt ok. There were many vendors and for a free concert and dancing outside, discovery green crosses off a lot of boxes. Check them out if you have never been. There was plenty of seating whether you want to be near the stage or at the tables, they have benches and plenty of green space. Great for kids and ok to bring pets. I parked on the street for no charge since I waited until after 6pm. Check out their schedule of events. Can't go wrong.

There is some shade provide by the canopies but definitely not enough. The bottom of the slides were still hit by the sun, and they're hot enough to burn you. I don't even wana think about in the middle of summer when Houston gets up to 100 degrees. My 2.5 yo enjoyed the playground otherwise. It was just too hot to enjoy all the things. She did really enjoy the water part and the sand. (We brought her swimming shirt and shorts, and she just walked in the sand and water barefoot. Surprisingly the concrete sidewalks didnt feel hot.) I stayed very close to her as she walked around the metal platforms (i could see this as being super dangerous, especially if crowded). The individual family restrooms are on the water side btw. The park side does not have changing tables in the restrooms. We saw some swings nearby, but there was no shade whatsoever (trees, canopies), which is a bummer bc she loves swings. Carousel is closeby. $3/ride or $6 all day. Parking is a bit further. We found free parking near the roundabout (Googlemaps: Parking man (Free parking)). We went around lunch on a Monday so there was a handful of empty spots, however on a weekend, forget about it. I absolutely hate driving down here. We walked through the Japanese Garden (recommend) since it's on the way to the playground.

Cute little park!…read more Playground for larger kids and infant swings and rocking horses for the smaller babies. There is also a large grassy area for toddlers to run around (ours loves to run on the grass). Lots of beautiful live oaks. Had no issue finding parking on the adjacent street. The only issue -- there was a lot of small broken glass pieces by one of the trees. I'm assuming this was an anomaly but definitely not what you want to see at a children's park.

CUTE park. As in,…read morecute little playground equipment with rabbits on giant springs, "toy" cowboys who hold up monkey bars, tall slides (medium tall by 60s/70s standards), wooden playground equipment. The only things missing were the tall slide, merry-go-rounds, and a jungle gym. However, the old (and now, kitschy), well made and maintained pieces make this one of my favorite parks in Houston. Also, its a piece of old Houston; it was established in 1926. This Rice University area park has a neighborhood organization that takes excellent care of the area. To the tune of $10,000 per year. As well they should, it's one of the last bastions of built-to-last playgrounds. Steel and wood and charm, no plastic. Who doesn't remember climbing on the pumpkin stagecoach at Pumpkin Park? Fleming Park is meant to be charming and unforgettable. If playground equipment isn't your thing, there are plenty of picnic tables, oak trees, and general relaxation areas. A perfect pocket picnic park. There's also a couple of tennis courts, two B-ball hoops, and a baseball diamond. There is no sign for the park, only a list of park rules and a community board. If you're uncertain that you are at the correct park, look for a 15' Totem Pole Bird House that was erected in 1991 by Fletcher Mackey. It is constructed of Cypress and Cedar Wood, ceramic, copper, and painted steel. One item of sadness, some idiot(s) stole the lamb spring ride back in January. There are signs on the community board with a photo and plea for its return. Rather, I should say "her." She was named "Mary the Lamb." Again, she's very, very cute, has a snow white fleece, and a giant metal spring attached to her underside.

Someone with a love for kids designed this little park because it host many unique playing areas for kids to choose from. The park is all fenced in with a little track along the inside of the fence for adults to put in some exercise time while the kids are at play and provides easy monitoring of your child. Swings, slides, standing see-saws, climbing, tunnels through tires, sand, volleyball and plenty of additional activities to enjoy. There is one swinging bench of which I haven't seen at any park before, that is sure to make relaxing for the adult very pleasing. I may add that they have one play area with a cross as the ships mast that adds a bit of Christianity to the park. With plenty of trees to shade your visit, this is a sure stop for any parent, especially the stay at home mom to get out of the house and enjoy. Just a note that this park closes early so it's not for the late night walks. Have fun.

Basic park experience. ;)…read more Beautiful trees and they have planted more. Street parking on all four sides and a private parking lot. A community building on site, playground for kids, a walkway that might add up to a mile loop, if that. Benches throughout and a few picnic tables, trash cans too. Well maintained and quiet during the day with a few families here and there. A great place for me to get the dog outta the house.

Definitely one of the more toddler-friendly…read moreplaces I've been recently, and full of local families playing outside and enjoying the large community space. We came on a Sunday afternoon and there were families enjoying the playground, playing baseball on the open grassy area, riding bikes around the paved path, and just generally enjoying the rare and beautiful cool spring weather. There is a community center that appears to have a basketball court inside, but the inside area was locked when we were there. I'm thinking there are also restrooms inside, but again I couldn't get to any- major bummer for the people who come when the community center is closed! They have a shaded pavilion with several picnic tables next to the playground, as well as an indoor area that's available to rent for parties. Bring some balls and outdoor toys, your kids and a picnic and enjoy some outdoor family time at Candlelight park this weekend. Your toddlers and younger kids will have a blast!
