I have been going to this park since it was built. I grew up in this neighborhood and know this…read morepark like the back of my hand. There are so many different playground options. Slides, several jungle-gyms, swings, little rockers things, water fountains, nice bathrooms, picnic tables, and a little covered area if you wanted to have a birthday party. The rest of the park is so magical. There are parts of just field or cleared out areas where you can throw a frisbee or have a picnic in the grass, but there are also acres and acres of woods and bayou behind it. This is where I spend majority of my childhood. There are paths that are marked with arrows throughout the woods, but then you can also walk to the water if you want to. I've seen boyscouts, hikers, joggers, and all sorts back there. There is a private parking lot but there are only a handful of spaces, and they do lock the gate at dusk. I park on the road and usually just walk in so I don't have to worry about my car getting locked in or anything. This park is magical, I love it.

Stopped by here early Saturday afternoon in mid October to walk around and get some peace of mind…read more The trail wraps around a pair of ponds with some water fountains. There's also a playground here and a covered area with picnic benches for picnics/cookouts. A lot of room for kids to play. Not much else to say. But with the scenery and the size being bigger than I thought from the pictures, I'm glad I found this one.

Recommend if you are in the area and need a moderately ahort/medium distance to walk.

Am I wrong or is this an all inclusive park AKA disability park?? There's a sign that says up to age 12?! (He's 14 btw but still loves parks) AND the swings for kids needing assistance were broken and the boat for those in wheelchairs was broken!! The big spider web thing also was no longer covered in the protective coating over the thick metal wiring. Extremely disappointed that the park for one, only allows children up to age 12 (so disabled teens aren't welcome?) and two that the park equipment looked run down. Won't be back to this park when we come back to town.

And needing some concrete to make the trails a bit smoother, but this is an awesome walk. Definitely gets the job done! I would say if you walk all the way around, this park may give you just a little over a mile and a half in distance. It's definitely a nice change in scenery from the park we go to. Also, there is a little gym at the beginning of the trail that looks pretty neat. Highly recommended if you are in need of a nice walk to get the blood flowing after a slow day.

#12th Annual Nature Fest was simply awesome. There were so…read moremany activities, especially to keep kids occupied but nonetheless there were many for adults too. The stage shows by Dave Salmoni, #Davesalmoni, the other nature adventures , the story time, even Billy's birthday were great show times. Not to forget the lots of food truck options available. Thanks Yelp for this first event experience. Am one who thinks reptiles are too slimy and...you know..but my view changed. I not only touched an anaconda, but small python too and it felt like a moving leather purse :) . Dave walks in the aisle while he shows his collection of wildlife with oh so much love and care. And, he has some great educational tips about conservation. Actually all programmes repeatedly stressed the importance of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, including the beautiful Macao ! There were more shows where they spoke about gators and crocodiles, birds of prey - this was really awesome with the birds flying over our heads, and more.. The Bridgeland park actually belongs to a community and so be careful not to tread on private property but there is soo much woodland, lake and trials to walk around and simply enjoy being one with nature. For kids there was grappling, virtual reality, face painting, story telling , ofcourse the birthday with free stuff distributed, the Hungry Caterpiller books, the fun character dressings, kite flying, pottery and so much more. And then there was outdoor lazer tag, virtual reality room and so on. The food trucks were a huge treat. Can't wait to go back next year.

Oh my my; now here is a real gem, but it's complicated. Superb trails which are wide including some…read morepaved. Spectacular scenery in the form of lakes, trees, creeks, hills, bike trails, benches galore, educational signs along side the benches, numerous bridges, docks, overlooks, picnic benches, disc golf, etc! The walking trail part says 1.1 miles from the start (it starts at the disc golf, just stay right as you go out of the parking lot towards the road bridge on house haul). Don't be fooled. If you go to the very end and back along the entire lake (by the way there is a completed trail the whole way, it's a hard packed gravel down the nature trail through the trees, and a sidewalk along the n bridgeland pkwy back), it's more like 5 miles. Do it in google maps if you don't believe me. Good part is there are 3 turn around points along the nature trail that go back a diff route, 2 go back into the disc golf then back to the lot, and the 3rd is the big bridge that crosses the lake a little more than halfway down. Tons of birds and various animals all along the way, paralleled on both sides by a creek and a lake with occasional spectacular views. One bike trail goes to a beautiful opening at the fork of cypress creek and little cypress creek. I took the stroller down it to see the amazing view of a dam (see my pics). The catch and reason why I won't give it even 4 stars: all this hinges on a controversial privacy policy in that they have big signs that say it's 'private property and for residents only no trespassing'. I've read from some google reviews that some park goers have been shouted at and basically shooed away. But they sounded like professional photographers, which would attract attention I guess. So that's disconcerting. But the grapevine says apparently this is recent and bridgeland is privatizing this formally public park. Maybe it's because they've invested a lot of money in making it nice with tons of benches, educational signs, disc golf, well maintained and immaculate trials/foliage, bathrooms, canoes, etc. I'm not sure if those things were here before these new private signs went up, but it wouldn't matter if it's off limits now. If you throw a birthday party or have some massive gathering here, I can see why they may say something if it's private. But if you just walk the trail I find it hard to believe you would get gestapoed. Sill, I'm quite annoyed that bridgeland is taking this snobby stance, but seeing how some people treat parks I guess I can sympathize. Take away 2 stars from the xenophobes for attempting to keep the proletarians out of this trumped up park. People want to appreciate this place, not harm it, don't be such pessimists!!

The parks say they are separated for size, but people either don't realize an Akita mix or their golden mix is not 20lbs or they just don't care about other people who do have a smaller dog. These people also can't be bothered to pick up their large dog's large turds so I guess they just don't care about others.
