Dow Park

Yeah ok this park is just okay in my book, it is nice to have when you wanna go walk around or walk your dog. I mean, the area used to be nice, but times has change and so does the people. I would tell you a few things that needs to be fixed about this park, but what good would that do? I guess it may help clear my mind of a few things:
Number one: This park grass isn’t sparkly green, it has brown patches and it has ant hills on it.
Number two: The paths are old and rocky, so sometimes when it rains it floods the path and the grass. so good luck with walking around the waters in your shoes.
Number three: now number three is pretty intense and if you are a dog lover or pet lover what I am about to say may upset you greatly, BUT number three: People are prone to dumping dead-​ran over dogs here. My sister and I came here to walk my dog, Pocky and right there in the open we saw a decomposing dog just laying there beyond dead. I tell you what – it was so bad that I couldn’t even see that dog eyes. it was too graphic for me.
OH and Number four: The parking lot has a big pothole as you are driving in. you may run right into it and it is deep.
All is well all is well. I hope! Now, I am not sure if anybody else cares for what I saw. The only people that seemed to take notice was my sister and I. I am so glad my dog, Pocky didn’t see it.
Anyways, the good of this park is that it is closer to my house. It has a big long path to walk the dog or yourself. It has a tennis court, a giant basketball court, an okay soccer field, it is residential, and lots of parking. Locals park on the street and there is also additional parking.
If you have use the restroom, there is a fairly large one stall port-​a-​potty near the trash cans.

I’ve been to this before when I was younger. and recently.
This park is very large and wide. It has 2 tennis courts, large soccer fields that needs tending to due to the water puddles. It has a great big basketball court, seem to be worked on last time I last visited. A field for baseball or any other recreational activities. The park also has a playground for children and walking trails that circles all around the park. Lots of locals come to this park to walk their dogs and play basketball or soccer. On my returning visit I saw father and son venturing out into the bayou that’s another pass time event.
This park is one of Houston’s undeveloped parks. stray dogs are often left here due to the owners who aren’t able or don’t want to pay the pet deposit. Some dogs are luckier than others if they do survive and find new owners.
