I was driving by to get lunch from a nearby location and saw the park from the window and had to…read moremake sure I came back to check it out. It reminded me of the Clearlake park near NASA with the water behind it, making it gorgous for a day at the park. I agree with the other reviewers that there definitely needs to be more shaded areas. I actually went up to a table that someone had left their stuff I just to sit at the edge of it because it was very bright but they need more tables with covered shade or shaded areas. I love to visit different parks in different locations but I'm always a little confused as to why there is not shaded areas even on top of the playgrounds because the equipment gets so hot in the summer and even in the winter is quite bright. The playground is great and my kids absolutely love the swing where a baby and older child could swing together. We also had fun with the faux tire swing. It was really nice to be able to see people jogging along the trails and women walking together on around the park-- I really enjoyed the feeling of community here.

We…read moreremembered that our special needs child , now teen loved Matzke park back in the day so we went there so he could stretch his legs and run around with his younger brother. Am I wrong or is this an all inclusive park AKA disability park?? There's a sign that says up to age 12?! (He's 14 btw but still loves parks) AND the swings for kids needing assistance were broken and the boat for those in wheelchairs was broken!! The big spider web thing also was no longer covered in the protective coating over the thick metal wiring. Extremely disappointed that the park for one, only allows children up to age 12 (so disabled teens aren't welcome?) and two that the park equipment looked run down. Won't be back to this park when we come back to town.

This is my Lulu favorite place to go. I've never seen a park so big. There are two sides that…read moreexpand across the street, and what I found out recently is that the schools used this park for soccer games and baseball. Now, that was a pleasant surprise for Lulu and me last Saturday. We stayed sitting at one of the tables, watching the games. But there's more here; it's a children's playground, several trails throughout the wooded areas, and the paths are cleared of debris. It's a really clean park, the tables aren't stained. There are plenty of garbage cans throughout. It's plenty of parking; even on Saturday, when the park was packed, we still got a place. I like that the big trees block out more of the sun, giving Lulu more time to enjoy her walks and being nosy. As you can see in the picture, there's a little bookhouse, and I bought some books the other day to drop off. That's the least I can do, my way of apologizing to the ducks and turtles for Lulu barking and wagging her tail at them.

I use to hike at this trail for about 3 years consecutively. I loved the scenery and the nature;…read morehowever 2023 was my last time attending this park because there's a lot of snakes there since the park connects to Cypress Creek. I was hiking alone on a trail once in 2023 and a light green snake rose from the ground and intensely stared at me. This snake was taller than me and I'm 5'6 for reference. The specific trail I was on was connected to the playgrounds. This was a terrifying and honestly traumatic experience; but I wanted to share my experience as a warning because I know lots of people bring their kids and pets there. Please be safe if you choose to go; but no matter how beautiful it is I can't recommend due to safety issues concerning the wilderness. I only walked away from the snake incident unscathed by the grace of God.

This is one quaint park located in the Fairbanks and Northwest Crossing neighborhood. By looking at…read morethe address and the trees in the park, I see pine trees everywhere. This is my favorite place to exercise when I need some fresh air. Facts: The walking path is cemented and about 1/3 mile per lap. There are 4 sets of picnic table with standing grill. No public restroom. Has playground with modern slides and safety features Since it's attached to a school ground, it appears to be bigger. 2 tennis courts are not fully caged and they need a little TLC. According to City of Houston, this 7-acre park was acquired in 1958. I can't confirm but almost always true with public parks, picnic tables are first come first serve.

Burroughs Park is one of those places that makes you appreciate having great local parks nearby…read more It's huge and has a little bit of everything -- fishing ponds, multiple playgrounds for kids of different ages, long walking trails, and plenty of open space to just enjoy being outside. The playground areas are especially great for families because there are several scattered throughout the park, so it never feels overly crowded. The fishing ponds are also a nice touch if you want to slow things down and relax for a bit. It's a great spot for a weekend walk, letting the kids burn off some energy, or just getting some fresh air. The park is generally well maintained and there's plenty of room to spread out. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it can get pretty busy on nice days and parking near the playgrounds fills up fast. But overall, it's definitely one of the better parks in the area and worth the visit.

There's a couple of wash stations outside of the dog park which comes in handy.
