El Franco Lee Park — Attraction in Houston

I've have visited this park since I was a child and have always loved it. As a mother I am finding some things to be very difficult. To begin, the fact that they have a full restroom which remains locked most of the time is very stressful, it's already a small walk from the play ground, once you get there and figure out it's locked is very frustrating. They have port a toilets to make up for it, but they are definitely not preferred over a full working restroom, and they too are a bit of a walk from the play ground and splash pad. Now the splash pad, the hours for the splash pad are from "10 am to 8 pm" they shut the water OFF at 7 pm. I do not find this fair at all. Being a hot summer in Texas we like to arrive when the sun is not at it's highest so summer hours would be appreciated. For them to shut the water at 7 is kind of confusing when you expect to be there 'till 8 because there is definitely still enough light. The play ground area does need a lot of maintenance, some of the play grounds have rubber ground which is peeling off and becomes a hazard. Over all a good place to take the kids if you're not too picky but the city needs to work on...

Don't have ur daughters play at this southbelt fastpitch league. All they care about is taking ur money from the league fee to selling candies and concession. The board at this league treat teams unfair and if ur on the board and have a team dont expect them to be fair when it comes to tryouts, games and allstar tryouts. All board members are very rude unprofessional people. They yell at the parents. We had an awful time at this league they wouldnt help the team out. All the player agent would say forfeit or quit. What a way to tell ur players that the league wants u to be quitters. What are we teaching our girls when it comes to adults who themselves have been quitters all there life. The entire board needs to be replaced. The lights are broken and never gets fixed what happened too all the monies to care for these fields. Forget about ur daughter making AllStars cause the board member who has a team gets to take there entire team and dont even give the other teams a fair chance to be selected. What an example to teach the girls. Take ur daughter to play someplace else. Cause this league are cheaters...

El Franco Lee Park is a very beautiful park with so many options and activities to do and attend. The main activities to do or attend is the playgrounds, soccer fields, picnic areas and public restrooms. The picnic area has lots of room and a BBQ pit, it would be very nice to have a birthday party there. If you go down the road more you will see baseball fields to the left of the property, they used to have really good teams playing there but some stuff happened and a lot of people left but they are still nice fields to play on. At the very back of the property there is a trail with very nice views. To the right of the property there are football fields they host little league games during football season. their pewee team is very good they went undefeated last season. But overall the park is a very nice relaxing place to visit epically during the week because there is not as much people there rather than the weekend, because on the weekend there are a lot of games going on and...
