Confirmed from Weeks 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.
Recreational space with a playground, a duck-inhabited pond and a basketball court.
What runners say about Weeks Park
I was out and about yet again in the last three weeks and decided to have a nice walk around Weeks Park, specifically the South Weeks Park Pond area. I should note that Weeks Park is quite large compared to other parks in the area and is thus ideal for family outings at the various playgrounds scattered across the…
Nice local park with some walking and picnic areas. Check out the pond with seasonally stocked Rainbow Trout and catfish. Adults do need a license and Texas wildlife officers do patrol this area often. The water is typically brackish and power bait works well. Restroom available but may need cleaning.
Love going for walks with my dogs or a jog around the park. Safe clean and accessable.
The kids enjoyed it and I was thrilled they had bathrooms. However, the shade trees nearest the past structure have been cut down so it was HOT and super sunny.
