This park is a wonderful place to visit. There is a walking trail that will provide a good walk with some interesting attractions. Theyre mainly workout and health related but interesting to see nonetheless. If that isnt your thing, there are plenty of places to relax and several good fishing spots as well. There are two docks with on extending a decent bit out into the water. Just watch your cast, plenty of spots to get caught as evidenced by the decorations in the trees. You can find catfish reliably here alongside the other species you generally find in small ponds. Overall a good place to visit. Especially in late November and December when they put the Christmas lights up. Could provide for a somewhat romantic atmosphere given the right person...

Beautiful park nestled in the heart of Bryan with amazing facilities and a little bit of everything for all ages. Fishing, sports, and specialized equipment makes this the ideal place for families to enjoy the great outdoors. Currently the new play ground area is closed due to social distancing, but we are very excited when all will be open again.

After my brothers burial in a nearby cemetery the four sisters and spouses and a neohew and his family wanted a place to gather safely and visit before driving back to our homes. We were able to sit comfortably in the shade. We enjoed the sqirrel that visited us for grapes and popcorn as well as the ducks on the lake.

One of the better parks around Bryan College Station area. Includes a fishing deck, a small trail, tennis courts, beach volleyball courts, kids park and barbecue grills. A good spot to spend some quality time with friends, family or even alone!

Nice spot in the middle of College Station to enjoy a bit of nature, play, walk or fish. There is a fishing pond with a nice walk way around it with plenty of room to set up a chair, kick back and try you luck. The walking trail is a wide sidewalk that winds through the trees that is great for all ages.If youd like to play a little basketball they have a couple of courts. Children will enjoy the play ground. There are picnic tables, a pavilion, restrooms and green space to be enjoyed by the whole family. If youd like to relax and just enjoy being outside pick one of the park benches as your vantage point.

Our go to place!! I always feel safe going there with my children! Now the fun for all play area is there and its fantastic! Take some beach towels, and chairs... You still have to walk to the same bathroom from the new play area which is kind of a bummer... Other than that, its a great addition!

The City of College Station has done a tremendous job planting lots of Milkweed to insure a healthy, pesticide free migration station. The Monarchs LOVED it and many, many butterflies made their way to World Headquarters Stephen Beach park to lay their eggs. Upon hatching- the eggs became caterpillars and they ate and ate and ate. The caterpillars stripped the milkweed clean - ate their fill, plumped up and crawled over to the porch to begin the chrysalis formation. Well done College Station.

Decent park with walking/ jogging trails, outdoor game areas, picnic tables with shade trees and a pond (offers fishing). The trail has exercise stations which is great. Sunset here is beautiful. The pond however needs some cleaning.

This park in College Station is awesome. The goose and gaggle of ducks are fun to feed but the best thing are the squirrels. They will eat cheerios from your hand and if you dont have any kids around some will even allow you to pet them. They will scatter at the first sign of little kids. Lol its funny.

Kids had a blast looking at Christmas lights! Only down side was that there wasnt enough lighting on the foot paths between light displays, and there werent any signs directing you where to go. They did do an amazing job with the beautiful lights! We will definitely be going back next year!

This place is VERY outdated. Many aspects of the park are currently under construction, so maybe Ill update my rating with a finished product.Has: basketball court, soccer fields that are usually by reservation only, picnic tables and grilles, volleyball sand court, playground, a 1 mile running loop around the park, fishing ponds, a pavilion for parties, and most recently a kids mini water park was builtCurrently, the nasty small bathrooms and the pavilion have been torn down for reconstruction, so that should be a big plus. Im giving this one star more than I want to only because it appears the city has FINALLY decided to put some money into this place to bring it into the 21st century.

Even with the abundance of rain and not being able to utilize the whole park to put up the lights like they usually do they did an amazing job with the lights this year! My little girl loved it alot! This is my familys all-time favorite place! Not only is this where I met my wife but we also got married here!

One of the bigger and popular parks of College Station, which comes with its own pool. Its most famous attraction is Christmas in the Park during Winter break. A millon lights are on display from 6pm to midnight, and people can drive-through the place. Check out the photos!

Love the Christmas light display, however, the only reason Im not giving a 5 star rating is due to the lack of custodial awareness in the mens bathroom. Other than that definitely worth a visit, also, if u do happen to stumble upon this small treasure around Christmas the Snowflake Forrest is a must..

Really nice park. It covers a pretty large area. Includes soccer fields/football fields and baseball fields. There are also multiple ponds which have fishing available. Limit of 5 fish per person. There are two playgrounds. One more traditional by the basketball court. And they have a newer one that is made for all people. It also includes a series of water features you can play in. There is a nice walking/bike trail that is also lit for people who ride or jog at night. The park as a whole is well maintained and clean. Also if you have time around Christmas, all the lights and displays are a fun time for the family.

Nice, clean park. Stocked ponds, can get catfish on worms, use a dipping bait. 4 trips out there, havent caught anything on lures. But, we have caught blue cat and channel cats on stink bait, gizzards, worms, rubber worms etc. We did catch and release but there are big fish there, seen them caught and big enough to make a meal! Have also seen big sun fish in the pond. Trout is stocked in the small cement pond, nice for kids and free. No cost to park or fish. But, license required for over 17.

Review №51

Good place for a walk and to go fishing. The pond is stocked regularly during certain times of the year. You wont catch any award winners, but that isnt the point here. Its fun to catch and release! Theres also basketball courts, a playground, and make sure you visit during the holiday season and see Christmas at the Park! The lights are beautiful!

From a wheelchair user.. this place is beautiful during Christmas time! Everyone should go if given the chance, unless youre a wheelchair user because the ramps from the parking lot are cracked and inaccessible. This happened because they seemed poorly designed in the first place. Also, when they repaved the parking lot they didnt realign the ramp with the pavement leaving a lump of asphalt in front of the ramp. There were also some sidewalks with that have been curbed out with out accessible exits. There are also places that are impassable because of bridges that could be seen as aesthetically pleasing, but completely nonfunctional to wheelchair users. Come on City of College Station we need access for all.

Very good place for the whole family. Theres a place for the kids, a basketball field, a tennis court or two, soccer field, baseball field and a trail. It has everything.On the same note, it is also home to a variety of animals, and some of them may be dangerous if you have very young kids wandering around by themselves. I have seen water snakes, big and small, biting bugs and a white fox. If you are careful, they can be fun.There are other activities here as well. They are also developing another section of this park, but it will take a few years till completion.Do keep you fishing license in you pocket if you are fishing here. Game wardens do come here occasionally. You can get fined thousands of dollars over violations.Do not recommend eating the fish from this park, unless, maybe, you are dying of hunger. Both ponds are filled with herbicides, trash and lead (from fishing gear). If you dont know what herbicides will do to your body. Look it up online.

Worth visiting at Christmas time. The walking trail is lit up with several Christmas light displays.Its also, a nice little fishing spot all year long. You are pretty much guaranteed to catch a fish or two, probably even more. Perfect for kids to fish and not get bored. Plenty of shade, as well.There is also a small playground.

We went central park to enjoy the Christmas lights at: Christmas in the Park. The evening was perfect. The night was cold but not to cold. Many people were out driving to enjoy the lights or they were walking to enjoy the lights. The ducks were enjoying being fed. A thermos of hot chocolate would have been great.
