Confirmed from Katy 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.
Shady park with a playground and a skate park, along with baseball and soccer fields. Skateboard and bicycle-friendly.
What runners say about Katy Park
“Baggies are provided at 3 stations to clean up after your pet, as required to by city ordinance.”
“Katy Park is a beautiful place to go for fun and, a place to walk on the paved walking track.”
“The trees have grown up around the trail so that you get a little intermittent shade as you walk.”
Cool skatepark. Also a walking trail, baseball diamond, playground for smaller kids, pavilions for a family picnic, and a good bathroom facility. Good parking on both sides, depending on which activity you've come for. Katy Trail comes right through the park, so I guess this would be a good access point for that.
I love this local park. It's not very far off 65 highway or 50 highway if you're traveling. There are two shelter areas with picnic tables. There is a walking trail around the outside perimeter of the park. I believe three trips around the trail is about 2 miles.
This is a great place to walk, either by yourself, or with your dog. Baggies are provided at 3 stations to clean up after your pet, as required to by city ordinance. Shelters are rented for family gatherings and a skateboard park. There is also a little league field and an awesome soccer field. Play ground for kids.
The playground equipment has several things broken on it. I personally don't like the structure because it is too hard for small children to climb on. The skatepark hair is really awesome though. There's also a nice walking track.
