Such a beautiful park! Great walking & biking Trails. Fishing at this little pond seemed to be popular as there were many casting line to try their luck. Lush and green grass and trees. There is a bathroom right next to the large pavillion and the big playground.

Good place to fish. Lots of open areas. I caught a 2lb bass off a crank bait! Only went to fish for about 20min. Mid-day too! Good spot for kayaks too.

Favorite park to walk and long board. Times to go are 6pm - 8:30pm. The best tine so the sun sets and you get a great breeze. Cool finishing spots as well. And kayaking. Playgrounds are very nice!

This park has a mile trail, some exercise equipment, a couple of playgrounds, a decent basketball court, some green space to run around in, and a stock pond filled with beautiful birds that you can take a kayak on. One major downfall is that all water fountains do not work except at one playground. This has been a problem for over a year with no fix and is dangerous in hotter weather. There are significant cracks on the mile trail which is a tripping hazard. The park could definitely use some upgrades but apparently they are in the works and you cant beat the low foot traffic and friendly people.

Parking spot is less than 30 feet from the lake. Free parking. There are about 6 spots you can comfortably fish in thats near the parking, without going to the other side of the pond.Many small silver colored fish around 2 inches in length hanging around the shore, gives you an idea of what to use for bait. Caught a few fish around 1lb, so no monsters here. Water isnt clear, but not as dirty as the river walk.Dont forget your fishing license!

It was a nice park, clean. My girls had a great time. Wish they didnt take down the volleyball nets, which is why we went. But the girls had a great time anyway.

Such a peaceful, family friendly place to go. Whether your thing is Basketball, Fishing, Trail-Walking or Jogging. This is the place for YOU, & your family. Sometimes I go alone, sometimes I go in groups, I’m always pleased with the atmosphere and it warms my heart to always see families at the Pavilion and dog-walking the trails. The beautiful Lake is my FAVORITE part. Visiting you may run into me and my two dogs, as we are frequents. You’ll Enjoy it! The best things in life are FREE.

Wow Converse.. first, how about a little care for the overgrowth? Everything is so high you cant even see the lake. Second, must playgrounds in the city are, rightfully, closed due to COVID-19, this one wasnt. Disappointed.

First time at this park and the kids loved it !! It had so many things to do and are kids are 6,2,3 and 1 year of age and they were having a blast for about 4 hours!! There is water for fishing and ducks and people had kayaks we were flying kites it was beautiful . There is also a biking and walking trail I would definitely be taking our family back. Also there is barbecue pits places to sit nothings tagged on and theres trash can nearby.

Review №22

Great value for the whole family. You can bring your own food and the kids love all the outside play before sundown. I drive from San Antonio every weekend to visit. Much preferred over the multiplex cinema.

We had a fantastic time here. I brought my son and niece here to play and there was a zip line here! There were a lot of kids here already playing to make it more enjoyable. The park was actually a huge park that had another playground across the way and basketball courts and volleyball courts. With people I those areas as well. All the kids at the park including mines were having a fun time. Then the ultimate happened. THE ICE CREAM MAN CAME BY.....️️ Lol...all the kids ran to the ice cream man of course. We had a great time at this park. Seemed like this park was like this every Saturday. :)

Stocked lake deep enough to kayak or light boating, 1 mile (marked) trail around park, stationed work-out equipment around trail, two parks, volley ball setup, basketball court, football field, baseball field, just huge fields in general, 2 playgrounds (sea saws, jungle gyms, slides, swings, rock climbing), restroom facility with NO doors but its kept clean, NO dog park, and most importantly, very safe place with cops and park patrol monitoring.

I love it due time to being close by home. It certainly needs some TLC and I hope it happens soon.. Love the distance for the trail, hope they can expand on it.

Nice park, nice basketball court, nice field for team sports, nice view of the lake (I heard decent fishing). They even have a nice playground for the little ones. With a public restroom and several covered seating areas, it would make a nice outing for the day for a family with kids of different ages, or a couple who just want to observe the views or go for a walk along the trails.

Review №48

Awesome park with plenty to do. If you like quiet fishing this is a perfect little spot. If you like jogging this place is wide open and safe. If you have kids there is a cool playground with a zip-line swing. Basketball, volleyball, soccer, and football fields and courts.
