Sugar Lakes Park — Attraction in Sugar Land

This place is a "mo-storic" (healthy mixture of modern & historic), overlooked Sugar Land paradise.

Stop by and get to know this park whether you're a local or nomad. You'll be glad you did, as it's one of the lessen known recreational getaways, right in the middle of old & new treasures.

One of the oldest treasures is the Imperial Sugar Mill campus, visible across US ALT-90 FWY.

The newer treasure is Sugar Land's premier coffee roaster, Blendin Coffee Lab. Found just 5 minutes (walking) East from the park entrance.

Highlight: Ample sized playground & swing set attracts leaves in the winter, but come Spring there's more people than grains of sand in the volleyball court. Well, that's obviously impossible. But if you require 1 of the 4 picnic tables (2 under the Pavilion, other 2 uncovered), you best get up before the rest of Sugar Land's newly informed explorers.

Park-goers rave about the safety and peacefulness of the simple yet sufficient offerings, however there is one clear downfall.

Downfall: If there is a real downfall to this great local treasure trove, it's the Parking Situation. Very limited; see the signature, same named section below for a in-depth explanation.

Fact: Stick around long enough on the Northwest side of the park's benches and you'll be surrounded by one of Sugar Lake's duck flocks, who tend to devour worms in the afternoon/early evenings there.

Bonus Fact: There are 6 trash cans. Yeah, I know, right?

Stellar Performance: The groundskeepers here deserve credit. Always freshly cut grass, and emptied trash cans. All SIX of them! Leaves pile up most weeks, but it makes you feel like you're in the Northeast.

Washroom Situation: There is no washroom, thus no situation. Unless you have to "go". In that case, YOU have a situation.

Parking Situation: Vehicle Parking here is limited to 6 paralleled parked street spots (1 handicapped).

There is a dentist and dry cleaning parking lot across the street, but no guarantee of being towed or not. Luckily that lot is easily visible from any part of the Lonnie Park, if you really feel like running down a ticketing cop.

Motorized vehicles are prohibited on the park grounds.

Tip: Swing by on a Saturday afternoon. If there's an open parking spot, do your busy brain a favor and stop by and relax for half an hour at the near 4 acre plot of public property.

The Loop is a perfect ¼ mile. 500 steps or 5 minute walk.

The Figure Eight path is a more interesting stroll at 0.32 miles and 100 more steps or 1 additional minute to the loop. It's my recommendation between the two options.

Bottomline: Stroll for a quiet loop around this quaint park and be teased by the rolling sounds of train tracks while peeking through weathered tree branches at the historic Imperial Sugar...

We just visited this park today, and while it was muggy outside, it was still a fun little park! The trees allow for ample shade, and there's picnic tables as well. They have 2 bucket swings and 2 reg swings. The little park had fun climbing and slides for the boys. I took a star sway due to there not being a restroom, but if your LO is good to go this park...

Great park! Tons of shade where the playground and swings are. Big field and a running track aren't completely shaded but not a huge deal. Lots of shaded tables for seating. There was a lot of mosquitos there though, so make sure to bring bug spray. There was a water fountain but no bathrooms that...
