A Ross: One of the best dog parks in Houston! Great walking path, so much space for dogs to run & some halfway decent shade for summer days.

Jessica Hampson: Please bring bags and pick up after your pup, it makes the park much more pleasant to be in. Plus it's just polite!

Katy Irving: Great park for soccer but shame there aren't more clear field numbers!
