Pretty much a hidden gem and I discovered it with the Houston Women's Hiking group Southeast…read moreedition when we did a Sunday hike. Yesterday, I came back and did a solo walk that was 4.9 miles. You can say that's pretty much a hike by then. This park has both walking and biking trails; I like to do nature walks and loop back into the concrete paths. The very end leads you to a residential area and furthermore walking, but I stop at the loop. Be careful if you decide to walk the trails in the evenings since careless dog owners love to have their dogs roam without the leash despite the leash laws. I've had three big dogs come up to me and their owners were no where to be found. I love the local artwork in the park; it's so vibrant and nice to look at. There are two dog parks for small and large dogs, but since they are considered a cesspool (that's how my veterinarian described it), I don't take my dog here. The dog parks are huge and apparently maintained on Mondays so they are closed. Unlike other parks I've been to, this one has restrooms near the basketball courts. There is a large parking lot and a field for baseball too. The paths for the bike trails are dirt, some rocky, but trekking poles aren't needed since majority of the path is flat. However, if you go deep into the woods where the trails continue on, there are some parts that are steep in slope. This is a pretty well rounded park that has everything for everyone. I've even seen people fishing in the bayous. Lynn Gripon is very near Challenge Seven park, but as you know Challenger 7 trails are under construction so this is the best best thing! Come check it out!

So two weeks ago me and my dog were both attacked and both got bit up pretty badly. The guy had a…read moreDoberman and I think the Husky was also his. The Husky attacked my dog and would not let go of him, the large strong man tried to pull him off and in the mist of that I got my hand bit. The guys other dog came up behind me and bit my hamstring which I had to get stitches on and also stitches in my hand. My dog also had to go to the doctor's office as well, with a wound to his ear. The guy left the park and never came back to check on us and exchange information. I do appreciate the people there checking on me but no on stopped the guy to get his information. Its a nice dog park and the people were nice but after going for a few weeks you can tell the dogs kind of clique up and that can be scary when they are hovering over your dog and trying to pick a fight. If you go I would say stay away from the morning group 6:30-9:00am.

He took us to the Ghirardi Family Watersmart Park. I was impressed by the cisterns they had and everything that was going on in this location. The playground was the perfect size for my girl and she loved running around it. There are benches and picnic tables throughout. There is a nice small pavilion and bathroom for park guests as well. The trees here are magnificent! If you are looking for a park that isn't crowded in the League City area I would absolutely recommend this one! I hope to go back when we are in the area.

There's a new playground set for the kids. I would beware the monkey bars, though. I saw a little boy break his arm. It's my favorite place to be during sunset. I had my son's Pokémon birthday party there under the covered pavilion and that was a great party! We searched for Pokémon in the area. The bathroom is always tidy. There was that one time though that a velociraptor chased after my kids, but we managed to escape its clutches. Otherwise it's a really great park to visit.

Finally, a park with the senior citizen in mind! LOVE IT! Today, I took my husband along with his…read morewalker and our dog, Oreo, to Carbide Park in LaMarque, TX. What a nice day! What I loved the most was that my husband was able to navigate a good portion of the park with his walker. We parked in the north lot at first. There was a nice concrete path that led from the north parking lot across a fun bridge and almost down to the area where the senior playground is. The rest of the path was in gravel, which he was still able to navigate with his walker (probably will be difficult for some walkers, but his has four big wheels and a seat). He got plenty of exercise with his walk, resting now and then on his seat! I then left him at the senior playground to wait for me while I walked back, got the car, and drove down to the parking lot there. Then, I had fun using the equipment that was there, including the swing! Fun day, especially since my husband could enjoy it with me. If you have a handicapped loved one and need a fun place to go, try Carbide Park!
