June 4, 2013 by

Get some exercise and enjoy the sights at Oyster Creek Park. As part of the Sugar Land Department of Parks and Recreation, Oyster Creek Park has a three-mile path running through the entire facility. It is just manageable enough for a vigorous stroll, a morning jog or a quick bike ride. Along the trail, you’ll see things along the trail like the central fountain and wonderful greenery. You’re not that far from the hustle and bustle, but far enough away for a quiet experience. But that’s not all – the facility also features picnic benches and grills for you to have a nice cookout with friends or family. Make it a point to also check out the Liberty Rose Garden! The pavilion is also available to rent for private functions.
