    I love this park. It's clean, with good size trails. It has a Small playground set. Perfect park to go to if you live in the neighborhood.

    Southeast Texas has a Disc Golf culture growing and this course will help sustain it in the future…read moreyears to come. I am from the area, but do not live here any longer. I am a very avid Disc Golfer and I have played some of the best courses around...so coming home to SETx every now and then, while knowing this course is consistently improving, makes me feel good about our beloved sport in the area. The course is a great challenge for all levels. It contains many Risk vs. Reward scenarios. So choose wisely. If you are an "Open/Pro" player then leave your "Big Arm" at home and bring your finesse bag for the show. If you are a mid-ranked player and can average placement drives about 350-400ft this course allows you to carefully do that on some holes while teaching you to throttle back on some technical/tight ones and simply ensure that you place it where you need to make the next Birdie shot. If you are New/Novice/Recreational player, then this course will fit all your needs to teach you the great aspects of Disc Golf. It gives you some great open fairway shots to drive on hard, it gives you some nice technical shots that test your approach skills, and for the closing it will give you a chance for that awe inspiring attempt at a great putt. All in all... when you try any of the three experience levels mentioned, there is that great opportunity to yell and whoop up a cheer of success or the happy (but painful) "auuggghhh" of almost getting what you wanted out of the challenge. The local disc golf groups and Golden Triangle Disc Golf Club do their utmost to keep the course in it's best condition despite: droughts, hurricanes, and anything else in between those extremes. They work with the city and community to ensure it meets everyone's needs. If you are not from the area, please know that the history of the park WAS sordid.. and Disc Golfers help remove all the deviants and rift raft from the area; sure, like any park, there are still some less than stellar citizens that go there for nefarious reasons.. but they are shunned away by the constant activity of the Disc Golfers at the location. So please think about the park if you are looking for a simple place to have a lunch break in a clean park, when you want to have some grassy fields for the kids to play on, when you want to walk the trails/paths of the area... and of course... when you want to play the Lifetime and Lifestyle Sport we affectionately call Disc Golf!

    Went out to Klein Park on a beautiful day with spring-like weather! It was heavenly. People were…read moreplaying disc golf, young kids were searching for minnows & other wildlife, & there was even a couple lounging on a blanket under the sun. We are lucky to have this green space here. Try it - you'll be surprised by how good it feels to be in nature. Side note: if you use the walking path for exercise, one lap is 0.60 of a mile

My first trip here was to play disc golf with my son. He is an avid player and has played this course numerous times. We started before dark and we're able to almost complete the entire course before it was simply too dark to finish. You may be asking, "If it's lit, why was this a problem?" The answer is my skill level of playing. Like regular golf, if you stay in the fairway, you can find your ball, or in this case, disc. However, my throws are not always accurate and losing discs in the trees where, after dark and with lights, it can still be difficult to find a them, could get expensive. Therefore, we quit after 14 holes. The course is open enough that it can work for beginners but has enough water/tree hazards to be a challenge if you're trying to get scores of par or lower. Bottom line - I do recommend this park for the disc course. It can be a challenge for every skill level. The lights help you finish your round if you start too late in the day to finish with sunlight. However, relying 100% on the lights could be challenging. Enjoy your round.
