Be cautious & careful when parking because i fell today and nearly broke my ankle. I broke my phone ,knocked the wind outta myself falling and hurt my knee. If I was elderly I would be dead right now. No one helped me up I don't know if there is cameras near this sidewalk I would like footage of my fall. I went to workout for my first time it makes you apply online to go and I didnt know the hours so I went a little early. They don't open until 9 a.m which is rather late . There is no signs saying watch your step and not aware of the torn up sidewalk and curb gap which makes it very very unsafe for anyone. Rebar visable and broken concrete. It was about 10 homeless people sleeping in various parts of the park. I didn't feel very safe at certain parts of the park where the fence is covered and not visable to the street. This park needs some type of security cameras or security guard. Be very careful if you park on the street it could cause you to fall into traffic if you trip like I did. The traffic went around me and no one even stopped to ask was I alright . That should tell you what type of...

The condition of this playground is pretty terrible. There is always tons of trash everywhere. The equipment is hard steel, broken and dangerous for little ones. It feels like whoever designed this doesn't know anything about what kids need or want. I live in this community and have tried to take my daughter here multiple times and I will never try again. I hoped it would be improved, but it keeps deteriorating more and more. It's unfortunate that I have to drive outside of our neighborhood to parks that are more maintained. This park really makes me angry when I see the condition it's in and no one...

This park is SO Peaceful. I spent around 90 minutes here on a cloudy Sunday afternoon in Houston. Weather was good, and people were out enjoying the day. Lots of space for families, picnics and sporting events. Historically significant, but didn't catch many of the historical buildings as they were locked. Beautiful shots of the skyline to be had here my fellow photographers! Check it out when down in H-Town!
