Love everything about this park. Beautiful landscape, great playground for the children. Wide open spaces. Picnic tables and spots to just come and enjoy the greenery.

Its small and nobody bothers you . You can walk your dog if you have one . They have a fishing peir and you can launch a kayak.tables so you can enjoy meal in the sun . Or simply sit in your vehicle and listen to music. I cant say enough about the walking bridge to the other side of the bayou . Its a nice park . My wife and I take our furry family member there every time we get a chance .thanks for reading . Stay safe and enjoy yourselves .

Cute little unknown park with lots to walk around and see and small kids to play with. Love the wildlife around the water. Glad we found it!

Really Cute and very quite park where most locals like to walk early in the morning. The trees help keep it from getting to hot and such a pretty site to walk around in till you get to the trail head and look over into the water and look down and see something so sad. It really is heartbreaking. Something needs to be done about all of this trash even if its dangerous to do. There has to be something that can be done.

We come to the light show every year. This year was the best display of lights yet. Also, the snack shack had more options this year. If you are looking for a nice tradition to add to your family, I highly recommend putting this festival of lights on your list of things to do this season...and all those to come.

Sweet little park with wonderful shade throughout; next to the bayou (no barrier between the bank & water, so watch your children); lots of playground equipment (applicable to small & older kids); bridge over bayou newly re-done (wheelchair accessible & safe for kids); peer for fishing.

I really like this park a lot, lots of nature and nice for kids to play at, disappointed that the bridge to cross over to the other side of the park was closed also restrooms are shady but not the worst place.

Sad that the Festival of Lights wont be held this year, but Nick Natario covered the reasons well in his piece on ABC13. A great place for community gathering and one that holds a special place in many hearts. Cant wait for the festival next year when things are more back in order.

Review №38

Nice little park, though the bridge across the bayou being closed currently is inconvenient and essentially splits the park into two separate parks. Make sure to visit one evening around Christmas time to see their awesome Christmas lights display!

Dickinson Festival of Lights is very well organized. Catching the bus at the Boot Barn parking lot was quick and easy with continual buses.Plenty of room to support lots of visitors at the same time. Playground is also a good size to support lots of kids.

Very beautiful park!!! Great place to take the kids. They can play at the park, fish and parents can bring a picnic and the bayou runs threw the middle of it with a beautiful Bridge!! Around Christmas time they also have a festival of lights!! So worth going at least once. Free to get in. Donations are excepted. Pictures with santa, Hot coco for a dollar and kids can decorate a Christmas cookie for ONLY a dollar too!!

This is a nice little park on Dickinson Bayou. There are paved walk ways along with a bridge connecting the two parts of the park. There is also a nice board walk along with wood structures going out over a wet land. I gave the four star rating instead of a five due to dog poo along the walkways.

This is a great park in the daytime. A nice little playground, good amount of parking, and a good location. Sometimes you can even see alligators. I wouldnt come in the dark except when the lights are up around Christmas. The location has had some bad history with creepy people hanging out.
