Houston has a good number of parks available for recreation at no cost to those who visit. Some of the parks have made a name for themselves due to their open visibility, but there are other parks that, in spite of their significant size, remain generally unknown. One of them is Cullen Park in west Houston, right next to Katy.Cullen Park is a multi- purpose park and visitors will find baseball fields, soccer fields, playgrounds, covered pavilions, a bike track, walking trails, etc. The area is mostly wooded and it is common to see deer and other wildlife.The main reason I like to visit Cullen Park is the walking trails. They have a few, but the one I like best is also the longest trail in the park. It starts in the Phase 2 picnic area, right next to the exercise area, and it continues all the way to Highway 6. The total length of the path is almost 3.5 miles, so a walk all the way to the end and back is close to 7 miles total length. There are wooden markers along the path, marking the miles in quarter- mile increments. This is very handy for those who like to track their miles walked. This long path is good for walking or bicycling and it even passes by an historic cemetery.It is common to see people walking their dogs along the trails in Cullen Park and I like that there are so many tall trees to keep it mostly shaded. There are a few open spots, but the majority of the time spent on the trails is shielded from the sun, and that means you don’t need sunscreen. There are benches along the path for resting and I like how there are so many trash receptacles along the path and throughout the park, to keep things clean.Cullen Park isn’t as popular as other Houston parks and the main reason for this is the fact that it is located on Saums Road, which is not a major throughway. I live near the park and didn’t even know it existed for many years. Now that I know about this park, there is an excellent chance I will be returning in the future. It’s a good place for recreation and exercise here in west Houston.

The place does not look safe. I parked my car, I saw broken window on the floor in 2 different places. Besides that, while running, I saw 2 skinny guys following me twice. I did not feel safe. It is a shame because it is a perfect place to run, a lot of trees.

One of my favorite parks in Houston. Long and comfortable trails today was a gorgeous day for a walk. You can spend here all day as the trail is long enough with benches along the paved trail

This park is perfect for families or anyone who loves nature and outdoors. The trails here are beautiful and shaded but could use more adequate structure. A perfect place to walk to clear your mind or meditate as I do. Do not depend or rely on Google Maps for accuracies on the locations of trails, you may venture off map and get lost. However, it is generally safe. Youll discover interesting routes and explore beautiful scenery but always watch your step. Some restrooms are closed for unknown reasons. Ultimately, a serene and one of my top favorite place.

Ample parking space, trash receptacles everywhere as a result a very clean park. The numerous soccer pitches were enough for my local Saturday morning pick up game. Very breezy park with picnic benches and tables. A must visit if you are in the area and just want some fresh air or enjoy a game of baseball, soccer.

I went Wednesday this week for a much needed walk. While there someone busted my front window out and stole my wallet. Had they simply asked I would have given them the few dollars in cash but now I have to pay for a new window. This was between 11am-11:58amBroad daylight is said. My coworker had lost 8 people in less than a month and needed consoling. Walking using social distance in the park was the first time Ive been out the house to do anything except get food or mail face masks . Well never again.

Large park with a pavilion, running trail (N Trail), a lot of benches around the park to relax, Small trail near the pavilion so that you can do a small jogging. There is a splash pad but it is not working at the moment. Few drinking water fountains around the trail and a restroom.Apart from the trail there are four large baseball fields, four football parks, The Alkek Velodrome, it is a 333 meter concrete track.Good parking space for vehicles.

Needs to be maintained better. I got poison ivy hiking on the trail and the bike trails need some attention, new boards and what not, but other than that pretty good view and exercise spot.

Its a cute little place, hard to find nice parks like this in the middle of Houston. I went here with some food on a date and we thought it was perfect, until the wind knocked my food off the table. I give the park five stars, and the wind that day zero stars, that jerk!

Hidden park with trails running alongside the bayou. Walk, run, bicycle, play soccer or have a small gathering at one of the several pavilions. Great place to destress & commune with nature. Only bothersome thing is the trash accumulation in the waterways but everyone is to blame for that, trash & litter is coming from upstream somewhere.

Cullen Park is a busy place in far west Houston/eastKaty... There are something like 7 soccer fields with 3 that have night lights. There are 4 baseball diamonds and the velodrome for bike racing. I assume you have to reserve the soccer fields, etc. since there seem to be leagues competing all the time. There are also covered picnic areas and a water splash area with water jets for the kiddos. There seems to be ample parking except when all the soccer leagues have games going on.

This is a great place to park your vehicle if you want an insurance check during catastrophic rain events. Why do I say this? Well, there were no fewer than a dozen cars parked there during the 3 big floods before Harvey and during Harvey. Other than that, its a big park, lots of parking and plenty of fields for softball and soccer.

This place is awesome, not crowded and really beautiful. Only part that is a little inconvenient is having people bring their pets and letting them run around and my kids who are crazy for dogs chasing them and all the awkwardness that comes with that. Maybe make the children’s playground a pet free area.

Love the park, but I hate the burglars in the area. We went for a walk, came back within an hour, and found my car got broken into at around 10am last Saturday. If you must go to this park, dont leave your car out of your sight.

Love love love this park!!! nice and green!! The only thing I wish is that theyd clean the trash that collects in the small rivers and waterways in the springtime. I once rescued a little turtle from a plastic bag. Other than that very nice park, I have never been during the night but as early as 5am there are little old ladies and bikers cruising the sidewalks so you wont feel so alone!

Review №83

I dont like this place at all. There are 2 separate parts on either side of Saums road. The one to the South is big, beautifully maintained sports fields with high chain link fences around them and locked gates that just scream, We dont want your kind here!. On the North of Saums road is a ratty potholed road with trash strewn playgrounds and a few very badly maintained fields with ankle high weeds. Thats for the rest of us. Go just a bit East to Bear Creek Pioneers Park and find a welcoming and well maintained park open to all.

Cullen Park is a running resource in Houston.However,you have to try not getting killed crossing a four lane w median Barker Cypress intersection.The actual trail is falling apart---so expect to spend yr time watching yr feet to avoid tripping & stepping on all the many snakes there.I saw a bobcat ,a coyote who all looked very hungry.Also the trail floods immediately w any rain. I miss Portland,Oregon where you can run virtually anywhere cause there is no CONCRETE JUNGLE to deal with. I give it 2 stars by virtue of having such limited options to train here.
