Maxey Park — Attraction in Houston

This is so run down and not taking care of. There's a lot of trash and broken glass bottles all throughout the field and in the child's park area. That is all run down with Rusty screws the child could get seriously injured. The fences are broken. They need to mow the grass. Our legs are full of bites from the insects It was just about up to our knees. Bums are living in the park on hammocks. Sleeping on the picnic tables. I don't feel this is a safe place The fence is broken several parts that lead right out to the highway. There's parts of the fence that are broken and a dog park area that is not safe they can get out The area is very run down and a bunch of apartment complexes in the area and I didn't feel comfortable myself. I do not recommend going to this run-down Park. It's pitiful. I really hope Dwight D Eisenhower Park gets on the ball and fixes the necessary damages from the tornado and the recent hurricane.

Update January '25.... they are planting trees. They put in new benches It's great to see that they are fixing this place up. There needs to be trees in the middle with some...

I was pleasantly surprised by my visit. There is a large green park area with a playground, and separated by a fence from that is the dog park with two areas, one for big dogs and one for small dogs. The big dog area is HUGE, which was awesome!

There is a doggy water fountain in each area and a doggy shower in the big dog area (the water flow is low on these, but still works). There are benches in both areas, and a porta-potty in the parking lot if you need it. The parking lot is not large, but it didn't seem very crowded even on a Sunday afternoon.

They were out of pickup bags, so there were a few messes that hadn't been picked up. Luckily I brought my own. I definitely will...

There is a playground here, but it is clearly not being maintained anymore and left to neglect it is becoming dangerous. You can see they don't bother putting wood chips or any substrate below the play area, and the brand new nice path to the picnic area from the parking lots never run to the playground. They don't want children playing here, just dogs and their owners. But there is trash all over now from Easter egg hunts. But I'm not seeing how dogs can use this better because the fence is not compete, no way to keep the dogs from running out. There is one porta potty, and I didn't have a chance to check...
