Anyway I'm an out of towner here on work and looking for somewhere to enjoy this sunny weather. It's forty degrees warmer here than at home. This park is near my hotel, and admittedly the more recent reviews were less than stellar so I was apprehensive. I was pleased to find I felt completely safe here. Lots of families were walking the trail with kids playing. Probably the only thing that's gross is there is some trash in areas, but honestly a community cleanup day could handle that.

I have to say that I went to this park thinking I would run the full 7 miles and was completely…read moreshocked of how good of a run this trail provides. It may have been way too hot outside, but absolutely love the layout of this trail. There aren't too many trees for shade while running but I am crazy when it comes to running which is the way I like to run in the summer! Loved every second of it! I have been to many parks around Houston and would definitely recommend Archbishop if you want a nice scenic, long run. They have hills that you can run or sprint up-and-down on. They also have little stations to do additional exercises along the running trail. Not to mention, this trail runs along side of an amazing lake. love love love!!!

Buffalo Run Park is a beautiful place to be. Whether you are here looking for inner peace after a…read morelong work day or someone getting their long run in, this is the place to be. I was here at Buffalo Run Park here in Missouri City for an annual running endurance event for charity called Snowdrop 55 hour ultra. 55 hours to do a 0.69 mile loop around the lake. The park itself is amazing and while you can see parts of the lake at different locations, the best ones were on the bridge. During my event here, I saw the sunset over the lake and it was amazing. I saw the sunrise too but on a different area of the park. The park itself was a slice of Missouri city, far away enough from Houston and it was cool just to be here. Half of the park is a picnic ground with a little parking area. The other half is a large asphalt paved path around a large lake. It's quite a nice place to be in, although the weather was okay during the day and wicked cold at night. I guess my local Houston friend was right when she said Texas weather in late December is very bipolar. Can't make up its mind. I assumed it was going to be warmer but turns out, nope. For the most part though, my time at Buffalo Run Park was very cool and glad to be able to come. I arrived at the parking area and walked over to the asphalt trail. The path around the loop was scenic, clear of debris, and you can see snippets of the lake on one side and a lot on the other side. It was definitely worth it though. I highly recommend coming to Buffalo Run Park when you are in the area. It's peaceful and quieter than you think. You'll get a lot of peace here for sure. The overall experience here at Buffalo Run Park was very nice and pleasant. The weather was pleasant during the day with no rain and cloudy / clear skies and a lot of sunshine, but while I was here, the temperatures dipped into the mid 30's F and made it increasingly cold and difficult. I enjoyed the local flora and the trees in the park itself. I'm not sure if people actually go swimming in the lake or fishing, but I'm just a visitor. My time here was spent doing multiple laps around the asphalt lake path that circumvented the lake with many other like minded people and individuals. The bridge overlooking the lake was my favorite part of the loop because it was incredibly beautiful and so awesome to watch the sunset and sunrise. There were some benches along the loop for anyone and everyone who wanted to sit down and chill after walking or running the lakeside path. For the most part though, it was great to be here. I saw this little building that jutted out into the lake. Not sure what that was used for, but just felt like it was something to look at while I was here. I didn't see much of wildlife creeping on the lakefront path, which is a good thing. Only things I saw were local area birds flying overhead from time to time. And so, if you enjoy nature and the peace and quiet, consider coming out here to Buffalo Run park in Missouri city, Texas. Possibly the best time of your life. Buffalo Run Park is located in Missouri City, Texas. It's physically located at 1122 Buffalo Run Blvd in the heart of the city. It's a community park for anyone and everyone, so no admission fees charged. Completely free, which suits me just fine. As far as parking goes, there's 2 parking lots that services the park. The main one that connects you to the picnic area and the boat launch. And the smaller one that's right on Buffalo Run, near the gas station. Best bet would Be to have your own car or rent one. Or even better yet, find local Houston friends and they can give you a ride. Not sure if there is regional public transportation here to get you to Buffalo run Park from anywhere in Houston, but there's always the Internet to help you get your way down here. There's always Uber or Lyft if you require their services. This community park is always in good shape and maintained by the local Park Authority. Maybe one of these years I will come back and get a glimpse at that observatory that they have installed on the lake. Might just be the best viewing station to see the sunset or sunrise over the lake. Maybe not in December but who knows. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+

The park has a large running trail that I believe covers a quarter mile. You'll frequently find people getting some exercise on the track.

Parking is a little weird, with one lot accessible from the north, but only through the adjacent neighborhood, while there's a bigger lot accessible from the south, but pretty far from all of the major reasons that you might come to the park. There's definitely a bit of room for improvement when it comes to the parking.

I was wanting a park with a lot of greenery and a trail that was paved without having to go all the way to Memorial Park Houston or to Kingwood lol. The atmosphere was so serene. I don't like some of these parks that are out in the open with traffic sworming by and or no shade. It's too hot in Texas to not have trees and who wants to hear and see cars during their walk or bike ride? There were kids playing soccer at the soccer fields within the park. With friendly smiles and hellos everyone of all ages just appeared to be enjoying life, as they should. There are signs posted about alligators so of course you have to be on the look out. Overall I enjoyed it and plan to visit a lot more!
