We were just looking for a new place to go for a walk safely during Covid-times and my daughter chose this park. Crazy because I somewhat knew about it, but we’d never been. I knew the city had developed an area for festivals along the Brazos. We’ve been to Sugar Land Memorial Park, which is just up the road. That evening we had started to go for a walk in our usual neighborhood, but that can get boring after repeat visits. We went up 6 and approached Oyster Creek Park, but the parking lot was pretty full. This was a hot Saturday evening in August. We try to avoid crowds with Covid. Even with masks, it just makes me uncomfortable. So we headed to Brazos River Park. The biggest drawback are the idiotic drivers when you take the Crabb River Road exit heading toward Richmond. People drive too fast! You have to do a turnaround under the freeway and then briefly go up like you are getting on 59 over the River and a quick turn to the right. This was what we had to do, since we were on the Sugar Land City side. I am not sure if there is another internal approach. There is ample parking & we were relieved to see not many people and cars were sensibly spaced out. The park is so nice and wide open. There were restroom facilities, which we did not approach bc of the virus. We took a walk through open fields (with frisbee golf set ups) on nice wide sidewalks toward the Brazos River. Some gorgeous old trees and wildflowers along the way. We could see trails in heavily wooded area along the River that we want to check out at some point. The signage said from dawn till dusk and we decided to pass because it was almost dark. We were just so happy to get out and move around freely without the crowds we see at Memorial Park, Oyster Creek and Lost Creek Parks. There is more walking across the way facing UofH campus and Smart Financial Center off in the distance. Very wide open, with wide walkways and people seemed to really be respecting everyone’s space with Covid. I really wish the city would create more park space around and beyond the old Sugar Factory. We desperately need it.

We visited Sugar Land area and found this park. It has a lake with birds and Alligators, nice views. And a walking trail goes into trees. We did not take a walk, but the trail looks very nice. Will come back when we have more time to look around.
