Shady Lane Park — Attraction in Houston

There is a workout area, a few swings for kids 1 And up. Love the seating for parents just wish it was more shaded. And how awesome there is a alligator statue with its mouth open where you can sit and take pictures! There is a water area but I've never seen it on.

Also, a basket ball courts with 4 hoops. There is also a field large enough for 2 games of football, a game of soccer, and a volley ball game if you'd like. There are no bleachers, or tables, nor goals, or cones, nor volleyball net but just having the open field makes the possibilities endless. There are apartments just cross the street if your looking to live...

Always love bringing my kids here especially now that you can turn on the fountain whenever you want with the push of a button. Wow very cool new feature. Great FREE place to enjoy with the family. Picnic tables, basketball court' soccer field, running track, water fountain for kids to play in, exercise area with a few machines and playground with swings. Oh and the building with Clean restrooms and some kind of classes or something. You have to check it out! The theme is awesome i have yet to see a FREE public park...
