Splash pads dont work. Lots of area for kids to play. Pathetic restrooms. Wash basins are full of ants, water pressure is very low and there is a foul smell. Toilets: Very unhygienic

Edited 8.14.24 The splash pad is trash. Only one section really works. We do not like to use splash pads overall when we can just go to the pool, but when your child wants to go to a park... when theres a splash pad - it CAN BE helpful. I have to say that the running/ walking/bike trail is well manicured, but this is the park itself. It needs some attention... especially that splash pad. Its sad. The playing area is okay, but it needs some attention. It really could be a much nicer place, but unfortunately it has gone downhill. FIX THE DANG SPASH PAD BEFORE THE NEXT SUMMER SEASON!! THERES NO EXCUSE FOR it being the way it is right now after such a hot summer. So many ppl couldve used that outlet to entertain their children after Hurricane Beryl knocked out so many peoples power & internet for a week plus! I no longer recommend this park to people. ****Previous Review 2020**** This is what is really great about this park - The area to walk or ride your bike or play sports in the field is spacious, well manicured, and it provides a lot of space where you dont feel crowded. The kids have an ample amount of playground equipment to play on, theres bench seating throughout, a large covered area with electrical outlets, picnic style seating, a grill and a restroom nearby. There is a volleyball court available as well as a splash pad. One downfall to that splash pad is that the benches surrounding the splash pad on not covered so you are exposed when the sun/heat is high, but the tables with benches that have covering are a little too far back for my liking because I like to be right there to watch my four-year-old the entire time. Unfortunately, it has been my experience several times that parents get a little too comfortable with leaving their children to play in these splash pad or playground area, and I have had to track some parents down because their little kids, 3-4 year olds are running off, but the parent is too busy in their phone to notice. You are going to get a mix of ethnicities here OVERALL. This is not in an overall pretentious area so you are going to get the 11-12yo/ teenager neighborhood kids hanging out here, & you might have to tell them to watch their language and/or be careful to watch out for the little ones playing, but overall it is not much of a problem. The area is kept pretty nice over all except for those inconsiderate, trashy people that like to litter...sorry, I cant stand people that litter, but it is a really nice park, & there are accessible trash receptacles everywhere. Dogs are allowed on a leash, but there are signs that tell you to pick up after your dog, as one should anyhow, but if it becomes a problem they will ban pets over all. This really isnt too much of a problem or has not been except during the 1st phase of Coronavirus quarantine when more people were getting out of the house and heading to the park. If you try to come around or after 5:00 p.m. any day of the week - parking is going to get hectic because thats when people come to get their exercise in, have games on the soccer field or football on the other side or play baseball so plan accordingly!!

The park needs maintenance. The grass is too tall and is housing snakes. I have seen a few on my walks, and it is beginning to discourage me from taking walks at said park due to fear of snakes and general safety. Someone, please do something . Thank you.

I visited the park on a Wednesday before the Memorial Day holiday. The grass was pretty high, but when I called McClendon Park to ask if the grass was going to be cut for the Memorial Day weekend to reduce mosquitoes & snakes. I was told no because of the storm, they are short-handed. We had the family come to the park on Saturday, and the splash pad was turned off around 3:15 pm. Which left the kids hot & unhappy

McClendon Park is one of our favorite parks in Houston, Texas. It s also where we had our wedding. We walked the park at least 3 times a week. Recently, we have noticed that the ground or maintenance crews are not cutting the grass or picking up the trash and dog poop s weekly. We need for McClendon Park to get back to its beauty.

Enjoyed our visit here. Splash pad was off. Love how it has benches to sit close to watch our kids play. It was a holiday and park was extremely busy. Luckily didnt wait long to get a table. The worst thing I had to say for holiday is that there is not enough parking on a holiday. So if you are planning to come on a holiday make sure you come extremely early to get a good parking spot. Playground: Kid friendly. Love how many swings it has! A splash pad that might not be always on. Two playground available. A small one and bigger one. Toilets: Love how is close to the playground. Picnic area: Love how it has one large pavillon with roof to set up parties. And it has other pavillons to choose from around the park.

Given the location, I would have to say that this is a pretty good park. Since people dont know how to clean up behind themselves, Harris County parks and rec sends cleaning crews out at least twice a week. That keeps the park relatively clean. There is a decent amount of shaded space. The walking trail is large. There is a full sized soccer field and a baseball area. The splash grounds are open from May to September, which is nice. There are a dozen swings, a climbing rock, large slide area in addition to a toddler play area. The bathrooms arent too gross. At least there is usually soap in the dispensers. Parking is ok, but on busier days you may have to park in the street. There is an area for ducks to hang out, so during the right seasons you can see the ducks. There is also a beach volleyball court. Overall I can recommend this park for the SW side. Playground: There is a full sized playground for both grade school kids and a separate one for toddlers. Climbing areas, a dozen swings, splash grounds (open from May to September) and a few shaded areas. Bring water because it gets hot here in Houston. Toilets: There are men and womens restrooms (imagine that). They keep them relatively clean, but you will need to bring your own toilet tissue (you have been warned). At least there is usually soap in the dispensers.

You can catch people having free Zumba classes here early mornings on tuesdays Dog-friendliness: Dog friendly park as long as they are on a leash.
