Barbara Fish Daniel Nature Play Area and Picnic Pavilion

“This is a really well done park. There are patged bike / running paths, a skate park, playground, visitor center and shaded pavilion with six picnic tables. The view of the city is excellent and the natural trees, plants and bushes make for a very aesthetically pleasing experience. I am really glad that I found this place. The facilities are much better than the usual and the infrastructure in general far exceeded my expectations. The playground is wheel chair accessible and though some of it was closed off (i.e. the slide) when we visited it still had so much to offer. The designers chose natural elements and it turned out very nice. It instantly became one of my top 3 favorite outdoor places in Houston.”

“Great park in the city! Bike paths, hiking, birds, fishing, snakes, and nature. A super playground for the kids. Very safe area. Short walk to see the Waugh bridge bats at dusk. Trash cans all around. Limited parking though. You wouldn't know by looking, but Buffalo Bayou is one of the best rivers in Houston to go fishing. Carp, Catfish, bass, and alligator gar. I got a smaller one at 5' 3"s.”

“There are thousands and thousands of etchings on the trees. Stop the vandalism. At this point I'm willing to put these little brats in jail for a couple days if that's what it takes. It's literally the opposite of tough on crime”

“Great park for specific ages- If you’re coming here because you’re looking for an outdoor playground for the kiddos, be sure to consider your goals and maybe go elsewhere. It is essentially a slide, a sandpit, and a few music makers. All not close to each other either. If your kids are ready to simply run and jump and enjoy nature? Have at it. This is a beautiful park with lots of space and is connected to a lot of great areas. Bring a ball as backup maybe. If your kid is younger or is looking for swings/more structured playground, then I strongly recommend heading elsewhere. This is a beautiful park.”
