Editorial Review for Cullen Park – by Rod Evans
Overview
One trip to the park, offically opened in 1983, will tell you there's virtually no end to the recreational opportunities. Cyclists can enjoy the Alkek Velodrome, one of only 19 such facilities in the country. The 333-meter outdoor banked cement track was built in 1986 when Houston hosted the U.S. Olympic Festival and it's certified by the Union Cycliste Internationale, the international governing body for cycling sports.
The Experience
The park includes several soccer fields, picnic areas and playgrounds, along with more than seven miles of hike and bike trails. The 12-foot wide trails are ideal for walkers, inline skaters, cyclists and joggers and are framed by wild flowers and large, spreading oaks.

Our passenger side to our truck was busted out this morning and my purse was stolen; drivers license, credit cards, keys, etc. It was in the floorboard against the seat and was not easily seen through tinted windows. It was today (Saturday) between 8:00 am and 9:00 am. Many walkers and bikers were parking there. It is in the parking lot ajacent to the kids play area and stretching area where there is a lot of people traffic . Please report any suspicious activity to the Houston Police Department if you see people hanging out or looking into car windows. Other than that, we love the park. It is very nice.

Very well planned out for a municipal park. A great place to have a picnic, hike, or just enjoy nature as there are deer, cougars, armadillos, snakes, and spiders that congregate at various times of the season. If you are into ethnobotany, Passiflora (Passion Flower) grows wild here.
Pros: Long paved hiking trails; Animals; Plants; Bathrooms
Cons: Too many people on bicycles; Too much dog poo on hiking trails
