Mandolin Gardens Park — Attraction in Jersey Village

This is my go to fishing spot. I’ve never caught anything here my husband just caught a couple of little sunfish but that’s about it. I love to feed the turtles and it’s just neat I mean The walkways all have these cool sayings on them and quotes and there’s flowers of all types not to mention the wildlife is abundant. Beautiful fountains and waterfalls. If you’re into photography this is an must stop place. Perfect for graduation shoots Instagram pictures and the ultimate selfie backgrounds. It’s clean, maintained, secure, and there’s lots of shaded areas if it gets too hot. It is open from sunrise to sunset and they ask that you not bring loud music because it is nestled in the middle of a neighborhood and people do live with their homes right next to the park. There is now a parking lot which is awesome because it used to be just street parking. There is a gazebo on the right hand side all the way at the back of the running trails and on the left hand side there’s a really neat art installation you should check out it looks like a giant metal down the kids can climb on and you could take cool pictures by. The bridges are like something out of a romance novel absolutely gorgeous. Sunset is my favorite time to be...

It's focused on tranquility and has nice little quotes on the sidewalk as you go.

Loved it. You should visit. (Also, bring a book so you can read under a tree....

Not a good place to take pictures for big events. This was a disaster for prom photos through and through. Already it was astronomically crowded and due to the stature of the sidewalks there was NO room to roam around. Group photos were almost out of the question in any area with sunlight. That is just the tip of the iceberg but when local residents CALLED THE COPS on people in the area because parking was obviously a disaster. All in all a pretty location but don’t come here for group photos if you want to come out of it with any...
