Man, I bookmarked Oyster Creek Park for many years. Today was my first time set foot in here. I…read moreneeded to get my daily steps in. So, I came with a friend with the same desire. The trail was paved but not always the same width. Some parts were narrower than others. I saw warning signs for the cyclists to give room for pedestrians. Oh, the restroom is on the right side of parking lot. There were many parking spots. Lucky us, we came here at sunset hour on a windy day. Not many park goers there. I would love to return on a sunny day in the summer.

There is a lake with some turtles, Muscovy ducks, mallard ducks. We enjoy having family picnics in the grass here. Plenty of shade under the trees by the lake, as well as shade elsewhere from large trees. Some walking trails, a playground with swings and a baby swing.

Nestled in the back of Covington Woods is Sugar Mill Park. It's a terrific little neighborhood…read morepark with a maze of concrete walking trails shaded by mature trees. You can do loops here and there and make the walk last as long as you like. You can also play volleyball here. Or, like me, you can just sit on one of the shaded benches on a hot summer morning and admire the ducks. There is a small pond intersecting with Hidden Lake Ln. There is a sign that says not to feed the waterfowl. When we came, there were some parents sitting under the gazebo chatting while their three children were running around chasing and harassing ducks. Fortunately, the ducks can escape under the fence to the private backyard section of the small lake. There were only 4 parallel parking spots along Drakewood.

I enjoyed my time here. It's also "bike free" which is a plus. I have no issue with cyclists, but…read morethis is great if you want somewhere to take the kids and not have to continually look around for cyclists. The paths in the wooded areas are mostly natural. No concrete so it's easier on the feet and legs. I'd wear some old shoes if it's been raining.

Don't let the seemingly small size of this park fool you, because it's deceptively large and it's…read moreeasy to get turned around in it, especially when it starts getting dark, so if you go in the late afternoon, it would be good to have a flash-light and a little extra water...just in case you get lost! Part of the issue is that the official maps and what's on google maps is very incomplete. There are a lot of other paths that aren't on the map that just kind of appear. If you don't cross over any bridges, you'll be inside the official part of the park and worst case, you just circle back around, but if you do go over that Crossover bridge, you'll be treated to some nice hiking, but there is no other way to circle back around because the 2nd bridge will put you in the "uncharted" part of the park and take you to the Pumpkin Lakes and you will have to come back the same way you came. This is kind of a shame and hopefully in time, they'll add another pedestrian bridge near Red Gully Lookout, but hey, you're there to walk so this is a way to walk more! For some reason, even though this is right next to an airport and a large suburban neighborhood, the GPS keeps going wonky too so don't count on that too much. This was my first visit with some other people who had never visited the park so I think we all became experts in the park and won't get turned around next time but a few extra signs wouldn't have hurt to help newcomers.

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!

Then I run the entire trail which is about 2.58 miles around one time. Then I walk back to my car. The trail is gravel which is better for your feet, knees and hips opposed to concrete. You'll even catch a bunny or two eating a snack in the grass. Its peaceful for the most part. An area for the doggos to play and a playground for the kiddos. There are bathrooms to the left of the main parking lot.

I currently do 3 by walking around one full time and then half and cut across the bridge. I also feel very safe here because of the restaurants, hotels and condos close by.

But the children's play area looked very nice. There was a family on the set. I came here to exercise. Google Maps says this park is nice to walk and has paved cement paths. I couldn't do my normal routine but I had to add more walking at nearby Lake Pointe Running Trail to complete my workout. I really don't like the smell of sewage while walking; plus the traffic noise from Southwest Freeway. OMG. Not coming back.

It is walking distance/driving distance from the Target, but you would not be able to drive directly to the park's parking lot from that direction but you can definitely walk from there! The newer park area is mostly uncovered so it got hot quickly but the play equipment did not get too hot to play on. Lots of covered benches to rest on around this play area and lots of mulch. Once we were tired of playing in the sun, we ran across one of the open field areas to the tree covered playscapes. They were covered in pollen but still fun to play in (good thing we all took our allergy medicine cause we were all yellow once we were done with the slides!!) Lots of climbing choices and slide choices from short to long, straight to curly, and wavy and even parallel bars that I think you slide down on? My adult sister did it so it could work? Lol! Great hidden gem of a park!! I love that there is so much green space around the play area and no open roads so I don't have to worry about my kids running into traffic. It is also close to shopping centers so we could pop over after a trip to the park for refreshments, some A/C, or to run an errand or two. If you have not been here yet, please visit! It is totally worth the visit!

Location is a bit obscure. Using navigation it shouldn't be an issue to find it, but it is a bit of…read morea ways off Highway 6 or any other major roadway. It is located to some baseball fields so sometimes the area will have lots of cars parked on the street during the games. The location has a private parking lot so it's never an issue to find an open spot. Going in the interior is pretty nice and clean for the most part. The only part that I found wasn't as clean was the bathroom. Honestly, its a gym, I didn't expect to much from that. The gym area is split into two basketball courts (full court-sized). The facility changes the layout of the gym to fit the different activities that people will take part in onsite. I've gone to play table tennis and basketball so I can offer insights on what takes place during those two sports. 1. Table Tennis: There are 5 tables and generally will all be in use. However, most of the time there wouldn't be too much of a wait time if at all. Generally people will just play doubles if there are too many people. Plus, people come and go, so it's not a big issue. 2. Basketball- When both courts are in use. They split it into two different sides. One side will have a full-court game going on. The other will have 3 baskets down and can potentially have three cramped half-court games going on. During these times the place is PACKED. This is especially so during holidays when lots of the schools are out on holiday. Bonus: I would definitely recommend checking the activity schedule before you go. It wouldn't be fun to show up expecting to play something when it's something else set up in the gym. They offer physical calendars on-site or you can just look it up on their website. Membership fees for individuals who are from Sugar Land is $10 for the whole year! Pretty amazing. I believe for those who are not from SL, it is currently $40 for the whole year which isn't a bad deal either honestly.
