Wish we could’ve spent more time here. Great children’s playground which was open when we visited on Saturday, August 29, 2020.Great different spots for fishing as there were many people fishing. Lots of picnic areas to be able to have a sit down meal in shade under a pavilion. Would definitely enjoy coming back in the future. There is a cost per adult (13 y/o + and child (3-12 y/o) but we felt it was worth the price for the family fun we had.

This is a great coastal area that has a playground for children and even a musical instrument area outside. Lots of people come here to fish, crab, and barbecue under one of its many pick nick areas. There is also a small nature center and learning plaques throughout the parks nature trails. There was a huge Nurture Nature Festival yesterday that is free to the public. Any other time there is a small fee per person to enter the park daily. We hiked 5 miles here today and only covered about half of the available trails.

This is a lovely park. You can bike ride or gofor a walk. You can fish or crab here, some put in their kayaks. You do need a permit to fish. The entrance fee is $4 per adult. They have a wonderful playground that kids will love. The picnic areas are covered with equipment for grilling.

Review №15

The nature center was kinda underwhelming. Its more driving than walking to get to places. But some of the landmarks are pretty cool. You definitely need a bike or something you can ride because theres a lot of ground to cross. No pets allowed which kinda sucks too, but otherwise nice for peaceful walks and sparse wildlife.

I didnt like this park. Mosquitoes were crazy thick everywhere. The bathrooms are all unclean port-a-potties (someone chose to poop on the floor for example). The scenery is a view of the surrounding refineries. If youre choosing there, which a number of people were doing, well, they have pollution signs up everywhere that basically say dont eat the fish. On the positive side, the playground there was cute.

This is a great place to take your family. I would be sure to bring the bug spray because there are mosquitoes both times that we went. They have some good fishing spots and also a great playground for kids. There are some hiking trails and educational placards throughout the area. the entrance fee is reasonable and is good for the entire day allowing you to come and go.

I absolutely love this place! Its one of the most peaceful spots in Baytown. Great opportunities for photography here. I havent fished here yet but theres plenty of spots to fish. I love the butterfly garden, it is such a peaceful spot. Theres also a pavillion on a hill thats an amazing outlook point. Plenty of shady spots for the hot days, the wind will keep you cool. By far my favorite spot in Baytown to take pictures and also to just have some time with God.

Great fun for the family. We enjoyed everything about it, especially the trails...... AMAZING!!!! I really appreciated the lady that did not mind answering all of my kids 1000 questions Which people usually tend to get frustrated with (if my wife is happy Im happy, and the lady not rolling her eyes or asking us to move forward pleased my wife). She made us a great deal because we were a few 4 adults 5 kiddos....so she offered a family pass for 65.00 dollars I was already going to pay about 21.00 dollars in 4 adults and 5 kids, she then offered the pass and its great because now I can go fish a little after work almost everyday. Thank you for having a bilingual and friendly lady very sweet and polite and fast..... Great place for the kids, all day park, bike rides, and fishing.... and SUPER CLOSE TO HOME!!!!

The place itself is beautiful and well needed in Baytown. We went on Easter Sunday and it was just very crowded. We didnt mind that as much as the different groups of people blaring there stereos. If they would regulate that in respect to the other guest at the park then this place would have been perfect.

I have never been here before till they had a free festival. It was lots of fun and the kids enjoyed themselves.

Review №65

I really enjoyed this place. The only thing that I did not care for was the turtle pond they did not have anything to view the turtles better. Like logs or platforms for the turtles to sun on. They have really nice walking trails and a beautiful butterfly garden. There is a water area and we saw brown pelicans eating fish. It was a interesting site to behold. You can take a picnic lunch there to.seniors get a discount to make

I want to walk all the trails and I will... bring your family it has so much can add a little more stuff to take pictures with but its super nice!!!

My husband and son and I are going camping soon, and I needed to get in a practice hike before going. Today’s trail hike provided that opportunity! I hope the Nature Center considers adding a few covered benches for shade/rest breaks.

Took our scout pack for a scheduled nature walk. Was very nice. Our nature guide took time to explain everything to our kids and made tour as enjoyable and informative as she could. We deffinitely going back. Also a place to fish and a playground in thr park for kids to play. So interesting

Lovely getaway for a little fishing or bird watching or hiking. Extensive trails, playground for the kids, and many covered areas. Not crowded at all, with a beautiful view of the San Jacinto monument in the background.

This is a very interesting nature center. The paths are all wheelchair accessible. The City of Baytown has reclaimed a condemned neighborhood and turned it into a nature center. In addition to many other bird species, today I had great views of three breeding Anhingas and two Tri-colored Herons. Take bug spray to ward off flies.

This place was so nice and clean. It was a real quick idea to go fishing and have a picnic by my 5 year old so we divided to go here. I was so surprised of how big and accommodating it is. It has port o potties but they were maintained. Trash bins were empty, tables and gazebos where clean and the property was litter free. The park was big enough was some cute attractions. Very much recommended.

Such a beautiful park!!!! The playground was so cool, with musical instruments built into the layout. It was clean, with several great views. If you seize a free moment, & seek spectacular solitude, please give this place a chance!
