VERY dog friendly park with playgrounds and more! 4/7/2010

This park is very leashed-dog friendly and has a fenced, off-leash small and large dog run area. They even have dog specific events like Dock Dogs here. Your dog is welcome at most festivals and events, at concerts, and in most areas of the park except the fountains that kids can play in. Would be nice to have a fido fountain, our dogs need cooling too! There are poop bags located thru the whole park and lots of different things to do and see here. Pros: Dogs on leash are welcome in most areas and at most events Cons: dogs not allowed in any water features more

Best burger in Houston 9/23/2008

I went too the park with my wife and kids ignoring the reviews above. If the people you are talking about are black people? then yes I suppose there are people of all ages, races. It's a good park. Great friendly,family enviorment. I went too the Lakehouse cause I heard the burgers were good, and wow it was honestly the best burger I've had yet in Houston and I have tried a lot. Anyway its well worth the visit and go eat those greatjuicy burgers !!!! Pros: Nice Park Cons: Parking more

Save yourself the time and go to Herman, or Memorial! 9/21/2008

The park is smaller than described on the website. The people that hang around there, look dangerous! Worst of all, THE FOOD IS DISCUSTING!!! Both The Grove and The Lakehouse have the most disgusting food I've ever encountered! And my family and I like to eat out a lot! Those two places are also under the same management, which may explain why both are gross. I was served a MOLDY salad at The Lakehouse, and didn't even get as much as an ""i'm sorry"" from the fat, rude manager. Needless to say, I will never be visiting this park ever again, and wouldn't dare recommend it to anyone else!! If you value your life, STAY AWAY!! Pros: non more

Discovery Avoid Green 7/22/2008

The park itself is nice but the people that frequent it are thugs and convicts. There are people there without kids that are looking for trouble and there are no officers within viewing distance. The fountains the kids can play in are watched by a pair of lifeguards that couldn't save themselves. They spent the whole time we were there either texting their friends over the phone or blowing a whistle at kids to tell them to stop running. I can't tell you why they take this job and abuse its authority but they do. It was a nice thought but you need more officers patroling the area because its obvious that they don't. Pros: Water Fountains Cons: People at the Water Fountains more
