Candlelight Park


The last of the three parks for Easter. This one was also quite crowded. I used to play here as a child when I visited my aunt. I remember it had a rocket that you could climb up and slide down. No rocket remains today though. Nice walking trail and the typical playground toys. There is also a community center where if I wanted it appears I could learn to dance hip hop.

Jaycee Park

This was a park that John would visit many years ago. It was quite busy today. Not alot of thing at the park. It has some picnic tables and a couple of baseball diamonds. We didn't stay here either. Just a quick picture and off on our way to the next location.

W. 11th Street Park


We were just driving by and spotted this wooded park. There are several benches and a place with wild flowers growing. It doesn't have a good place to park. I just took this photo while John kept the car running.
July 29, 2006 Found an Audubon website about this park. It tells about the trails and wildlife in the park. Guess we need to go back and wander around on the trails.

Lost Creek Park

We walked from Oyster Creek park over to Lost Creek park. They were mowing the soccer fields. The smell of cut grass is like perfume to John. There is a playground area with toys that are good for small children.

Oyster Creek Park



Beautiful park locted in Fort Bend county and Sugar Land. It has a very picturesque fountain, waterfall and pond area. There are many walking trails along the creek. We even saw a big ole alligator in the creek.

Francklow Park

Park is located near Briar Forest and Toll road. There is a half mile walking trail surounded a heavily forested park. Tucked away inside the park are benches and a gazebo. If you didn't hear the sounds of traffic you might imagine you were out in a forest somewhere.
