Introduction

Over the past decade, the City of Baytown has invested much effort into creating and revitalizing its local parks. The town boasts more than 40 parks, with a variety of amenities. Many of these parks are situated on or near Goose Creek.

Before its restoration, this neglected waterway was often used as a dumping ground. Now, thanks to the Goose Creek Stream Project, nearly 7 miles of bicycle-pedestrian trails have been constructed along its banks.

To find out more about Baytown’s parks, follow the links at left. To make it easier for you to find the perfect park for you, we’ve organized our list by amenities and by location. You can also get an alphabetical list or an overview that includes full details on every single park in the City of Baytown. Enjoy!
