Review & FAQ:

Burnett Bayland Park was originally developed by Harris County in 1971, located on 67 acres of former orphanage land donated to the county by Joseph Meyer in 1912. Since 1996, it has been overseen as part of a joint city-county partnership with the Houston Parks and Recreation Department, named in honor of orphanage owner Mary Burnett-Bayland. A spacious modern water playground is offered for children's play throughout the summer months, along with a children's playground offering safe play for older and younger children. A one-mile walking trail meanders throughout the park, which is also home to recreational facilities such as a community center, a basketball pavilion, and soccer and baseball fields. For a nominal fee, area residents can grow plants and produce at a community garden.
