This one is a bit further out for the city dwellers, but is definitely worth checking out if you happen be in the area. Access to the park is very easy as it is immediately adjacent to I-10 Katy Freeway and extends all the way from Beltway 8 to Highway 6. The park is open from 7 o’clock in the morning to about 10pm in the evening.
