Cullen Park — Attraction in Houston

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...

DO NOT GO TO THIS PARK EVER! If you park near the softball fields on the south side of Saums Rd. Your car will be BROKEN INTO!

2nd time our car was broken into was today 7/1/14. They didn't get anything this time because we learned from the first time a few years ago. Just have to pay the deductible to have the window replaced :-[

I'm so fed up with trying to be a good citizen and working hard to have the things my family needs while these lowlife scumbags get away with ripping off others just to feed their crack habit. In the words of Walter Sobchak, "this is not Nam, this is 'Merica. There are rules."

I hope the worthless human being that broke into our car cut themselves in the process. And I hope that cut gets infected because I know they don't have even the mandatory Obamacare insurance that's so affordable. And I hope they infect their family, which probably abandoned them for being the piece of crap that everybody in his life has hopefully discovered by now.

If you live in the area, be aware of an older red 2 door hatchback with tinted windows and 3 underachieving, less-than-dirt, delinquents who probably pleasure each other while they wait for their...

It's got a convenient location with entrances on Barker Cypress and highway six. The trail is a single path and windy. The trees are manicured back well enough, and the playground has the preferred pebbles of my youth under the equipment. There are restrooms and large fields in the center for playing ball. I go here to run in mornings with often, it's a perfect in between spot for us to meet. The trees keep the air cool bit longer and then shade around more. My only qualm with this place really isn't anyone's fault but nature's. When you run or hike here you need to be weary of snakes. Not so much in the morning or in winter. But seriously this place is a scene out of Indiana Jones when it's sunny summertime. Snakes come out of the wet woods to sun themselves on the asphalt path. And the cotton mouths blend right in and have been knows the strike at your shoes. Beware. Keep your animals on a leash so you can...
