Cedar Brake Park

Monkey bars, my FAVORITE!

This tunnel is the coolest!

That's for little kids, like my brother.

See, there's my brother.

I pretended the volleyball court was a big sandbox.  It was fun.

Cedar Brake Park in Montgomery (900 Eva St) is a serene, small town park with plenty to do.  The playground equipment could use some fixing here & there, but the kids don't seem to mind.  There is a restroom close to the playgrounds, a sand volleyball court, a cool tunnel, 2 separate playgrounds for big kids & little ones, there are plenty of grills & picnic tables & even some porch swings for the adults to relax in.  It is defintely a park worth checking out if you like the serene feelings of small town life!

Zube Park

Look at the fish!

Twisty slide!

A playset for little kids too!

Even a tunnel slide.

Swings.

A cool see-saw.

Lots of soccer fields!

Hermann Park

Hermann Park in Houston (6201 Hermann Park Dr) is a 445 acre with something for everyone to do.  Seriously.  Bayou Parkland (80 acres of natural setting to hike, picnic, or just enjoy), Buddy Caruth Playground (barrier free play are & splash park), Hermann Park Golf Course (18 hole municipal course), Hermann Park jogging trail (~2 mile trail around the park), Hermann Park Railroad (buy a ticket & ride the train!), Garden Center, Houston Museum of Natural Science, Houston Zoo, Japanese Garden, Judson Robinson Jr Community Center (full gym + room rental), Molly Ann Smith Plaza (interactive water fountains for the kids), Lake Plaza (pedal boat lagoon), Mary Gibbs & Jesse H Jones Reflection Pool, McGovern Lake (8 acre lake that allows catch & release fishing for children under 12 & senior citizens), Miller Outdoor Theater, & the Pioneer Memorial Loghouse Museum.  Of course we focused on the playgrounds, but the whole park is great fun, you could spend the whole day & still be ready to come back & see even more!  There are public restrooms, Pinewood Cafe, & lots of other things to ensure your day is comfortable & fun.

Matzke Park

A big playground!

 (Barrier-free access.)

 The swaying boat is super fun!

Big kid swings!

 Look, another playground, with a twisty slide!

 Lots of grassy space with picnic tables & benches everywhere.

A little covered area for a shady picnic.

 A bird coop?  That's crazy!

 We followed a trail & found this nice spot.
