3 reviews for Cullen Park
Cullen park is awesome! I had been there before and enjoyed some hiking with a friend of mine. The park has a trail that takes you through pretty cool sites. I always pass by this park on my way to my sister's and always see people playing soccer, or special events going on (animal planet was there the other day). Cullen park is located on Barker Cypress and Saums off of I-10.
Today my sis and I decided to go read at the park and fly kites. We found the perfect spot with just the right amount of shade and open enough for our kites. We put our blankets down and became "one with nature". Birds chirping, butterflies flying by, little kids on their bikes, wonderful breeze caressing our faces, it was just great. We flew our kites for a while and the space was perfect for it. Although mine flew away and got stuck on a tree. Don't panic though, I was able to retrieve it.
I would definitely recommend Cullen park if you want to go walking, jogging, biking, hiking, rollerblading or maybe just play soccer or fly kites. There's space for anything and everything there. You can even just take a blanket and have a great picnic or even a nice nap. I have not explored the whole park yet, as it is huge, but I can definitely say it is an enjoyable natural environment. Pack up a blanket, your kids (or dog) and get yourself to Cullen park, you can thank me later.

This park brings back a whole lot of memories. In high school, it was the spot for weekend barbecues, unofficial softball tournies against rival schools, dirt bike racing (not allowed), boozin' (also not allowed), rollerblading and walking the trails with my sweetums.
This park is equipped with baseball fields, soccer fields, restrooms, picnic tables, grills, playgrounds, and HEB water station, an archery field and a five-mile trail that stretches all the way to Hwy 6 and Patterson (near the Houston Farm & Ranch Club).
It's clean with plenty of parking and lighting, but the reason for my less than five star rating is because of the flooding. When it rains, even just a mild shower, the soccer fields completely flood. But that's because of its proximity to the Addicks and Barker Reservoir.

Whether you're looking for a place to roller blade, hike or bike on the West side of Houston, Cullen Park has a little bit of something for everyone.
At 10,534 acres, Cullen Park is one of the largest U.S. municipal parks filled with things to do. I've gone out there to do a little batting practice or hike along the wooded trails. There are multiple playgrounds and soccer fields for those wanting to get some time out in the sun and are up for a game.
In addition to the acres of wild green, there is the Alkek Velodrome for cyclists. One of only 19 in the nation, it hosts a variety of events for biking enthusiasts. Even if you want to go off road with your two wheeler, you've got 7 miles from which to choose your adventure on the trails in the park.
Picnic areas and playgrounds abound and there's even the HEB Water Playground where kids of all ages can splash in the wet fun and get soaked during the heat of the summer.
Cullen Park is a natural wonderland inside the city.
