Confirmed from Arthur Storey Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Green space centered around a pond, with a jogging trail along a narrow bayou & a tai chi court.

“nice park, fairly big, has swings (for all ages and babies) and benches all around, includes some taichi areas.”
I used to go here daily but I got sick last year, thankfully i feel good enough to go back walking. My one block to walk the dog has progressed to twice around the park. It's great and no one thinks your crazy if you jump and down and yell, "I did it!
One of the best park in Houston. This park is best for cycling, jogging because of its long trail. The park offers a scenic lake, playground for kids and plenty of parking. Great place to spend fun time with your family and friends. This place is also good for photography. You can also experience beautiful sunsets.
This park is beautiful! The sunset beneath the lake is gorgeous. In addition to the running track, It has dedicated areas for working out and for children to play. It has a kiosk and many benches around the lake to take a break from life while looking at the landscape 🦆 🌱🦆
Arthur Storey Park is a wonderful place to spend time with family and friends. It has a nice playground for kids. In addition, it has walking trails and picnic areas with barbecue grills and nice gazebos. Also, there are ponds with aquatic animals such as ducks and turtles, and it's pet friendly. I highly recommend it!
