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+

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!

Watch out for snakes- sometimes they are in the grassy areas. Many different species of birds, lots of nutrias, turtles, as well as occasional sightings of alligators, snakes, crawfish remains (from the birds eating them, I suppose).

You'll be glad you did, as it's one of the lessen known recreational getaways, right in the middle of old & new treasures. One of the oldest treasures is the Imperial Sugar Mill campus, visible across US ALT-90 FWY. The newer treasure is Sugar Land's premier coffee roaster, Blendin Coffee Lab. Found just 5 minutes (walking) East from the park entrance. Highlight: Ample sized playground & swing set attracts leaves in the winter, but come Spring there's more people than grains of sand in the volleyball court. Well, that's obviously impossible. But if you require 1 of the 4 picnic tables (2 under the Pavilion, other 2 uncovered), you best get up before the rest of Sugar Land's newly informed explorers. Park-goers rave about the safety and peacefulness of the simple yet sufficient offerings, however there is one clear downfall. Downfall: If there is a real downfall to this great local treasure trove, it's the Parking Situation. Very limited; see the signature, same named section below for a in-depth explanation. Fact: Stick around long enough on the Northwest side of the park's benches and you'll be surrounded by one of Sugar Lake's duck flocks, who tend to devour worms in the afternoon/early evenings there. Bonus Fact: There are 6 trash cans. Yeah, I know, right? Stellar Performance: The groundskeepers here deserve credit. Always freshly cut grass, and emptied trash cans. All SIX of them! Leaves pile up most weeks, but it makes you feel like you're in the Northeast. Washroom Situation: There is no washroom, thus no situation. Unless you have to "go". In that case, YOU have a situation. Parking Situation: Vehicle Parking here is limited to 6 paralleled parked street spots (1 handicapped). There is a dentist and dry cleaning parking lot across the street, but no guarantee of being towed or not. Luckily that lot is easily visible from any part of the Lonnie Park, if you really feel like running down a ticketing cop. Motorized vehicles are prohibited on the park grounds. Tip: Swing by on a Saturday afternoon. If there's an open parking spot, do your busy brain a favor and stop by and relax for half an hour at the near 4 acre plot of public property. The Loop is a perfect ¼ mile. 500 steps or 5 minute walk. The Figure Eight path is a more interesting stroll at 0.32 miles and 100 more steps or 1 additional minute to the loop. It's my recommendation between the two options. Bottomline: Stroll for a quiet loop around this quaint park and be teased by the rolling sounds of train tracks while peeking through weathered tree branches at the historic Imperial Sugar water tower.
