Edith L Moore Nature Sanctuary - Houston, Texas

Petit parc très bien entretenu et très agréable à visiter, avec de beaux espaces naturels et de grandes parties à l'ombres pour les jours de forte chaleur.

While this is such a nice, beautiful place to take a calm and relaxing walk and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, the lady who works there has a tantrum when you meet up with your mom friends and their kids to take a walk together on a weekday. We were treated with a harsh tone and bad attitude the moment we got there. I do understand that group events can be scheduled on their website, but don’t even think about going here just to meet up and take a walk on the trails unless you want to be hassled by the staff. We were told that even though it is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, they do not like having groups of people come at the same time because the trails are small, and that kids are loud and this is not a place to be loud. Also, there is no difference between meeting up on a Monday morning, like we did, and meeting up on a Saturday afternoon, but the staff insisted that there’s a huge difference….
Our kids were so quiet and sitting on the benches eating a snack, which we made sure to clean up, and the employee came out to say we were being so loud and screaming which was completely untrue. When asked if anyone has complained about us, she wouldn’t answer and just said she felt like she was “giving us lots of grace in allowing us to be there.”
I truly felt like we were being treated this way because we had children with us. If this is supposed to be a place for all to enjoy and learn about nature, it should be more welcoming to people with kids. I would bet that she wouldn’t have said anything if it was just a group of adults meeting for a hike.
In fact, our kids made it a point to pick up any trash they found, and helped clean up after someone else left a mess. So, you’re welcome, Edith Moore Sanctuary!!
If you are going solo to take a quiet walk, it’s great, but if you plan to meet some friends there, I would say find somewhere else.

Great little hidden trail, nice place to relax and enjoy nature. No pets allowed, bikes, or jogging, it's a nature sanctuary. Must park at the church next to it, no cars allowed in the neighborhood.

A hidden gem in the neighborhood. There's a small parking lot once you go through the entrance. This park feels like a getaway from the city. You are engulf in nature once you're inside.

Surrounded by trees and birds chirping, it feels very serene. Everyone is friendly and always say hi as they pass you. There's a few walking trail and the tall trees cover a good amount of sun so it's not too hot.

This was a super cool area.. nice walk and all the nature is awesome. The bayou that runs through here it's really nice to go after the rain. Just a little muddy.. but not to bad the kids loved exploring and trying to find snakes... Luckily we didn't find any snakes today but the kids were really trying to find one.. we encountered a lot of squirrels. And bird's are nice .. if you have time come check it out very exciting place.. and the cabin was really nice to take pictures in front of

Beautiful, peaceful area to walk without many people. A wonderful place to enjoy nature. My only advice would be to bring bug spray or prepare beforehand as the mosquitos were biting.

For a minute you are out of Houston. You are in foliage amidst birds, squirrels, cottontails, armadillos, turtles, geckos and the like. It's serene, peaceful and a great place to relax. We visited on a weekend in Summer at 2PM. Other than the humidity it was pretty nice going. There is an entrance on the church lot with plenty of parking. There are some mosquitoes as well. Regardless, this is a simply superb nature preserve. We had a blast. It is quite small but we still ended up spending 2 hours and some change here. There is a cabin, a pond, beautiful trails and bridges scattered about. We had a wonderful time. There is something alluring and magical about this spot and we will likely be back soon.

This is a beautiful, quiet, peaceful place to walk. I used to walk at the Arboretum, but this place is more wooded and has less people. Even on the hotter days, it's not too bad because of all the shade.
