Jesse H. Jones Park & Nature Center

Me and my family discovered this Park in the summer of 2024 and we have been going more often ever since. This is a beautiful place you can go and retreat away from Houston's busy city life. Great for meditation, hiking, fishing, picnicking,and more. Every time we visit we have discovered a new trail and going the extra mile to see how far we go before finding our way back to the car. Lol. I will be having my wedding here, this is a special place.

We were looking for a new park to explore and found this one. Free admission. The Spring Creek trails were a joy to explore; There are two trails which meets with each other through the creek when the creek dries up during summer. We witnessed people fishing and reeling in plenty of fish. Birdwatching was a treat too! Spent an enchanting evening amidst lush greenery, illuminated by the sunset. A perfect escape into nature's embrace. Highly recommend.

Lots of trail options, however as of Sept. 24 they are still doing a lot of cleanup from the hurricane. Trails weren’t all that well marked. However it looks like they are working on getting things baked in order. We had our fat tire bikes and managed to get around but not before a few detours. It has easy access to the Spring Creek Trail. There are restrooms and water fountains.

My wife and I had a great time walking around the park. We walked close to 2 miles and saw a lot of the area. It’s nice they’re keeping the place well maintained and still cleaning up a bit after the storm. Nice place to ride walk or run. Pavement it’s nice and the trails are well maintained. I would suggest going to the Sandy beach near the river. Really beautiful. Mornings seem to be a good time to go out. Not sure how people survive coming out here in the middle of a hot day.

Such a hidden gem! Easy trails, nice scenery, and a little beach area (no swimming). Restrooms are clean and plenty of parking!
