Cy-Champ Park – Visiting Houston’s Parks, One Week at a Time

by Jill Jarvis Leave a Comment

CyChamp Playground
Address: 14619 Cutten Rd, Houston, TX 77069

Cy-Champ Park is a new park in the Champions neighborhood in north Houston. It is a long skinny patch of land the runs along Cutten. Under the tall trees is a 1.5 mile running path, picnic tables, playground and Fallen Solders Memorial.

CyChamp Park Play Structure
When we first moved to Houston, we had an apartment just across the street from this park. Back then it was just a strip of unused land. When I visited this week, it was the most popular strip of land in Champions.

At 7:00pm on a week night, this park was full of runners and families. I would usually be a little concerned with the (lack of) visibility due to the trees, but this park was so busy that we had at least 50 pairs of eyes watching over us.

CyChamp Park Trail
We found a spot in the parking lot (and it looks like there is an overflow lot as well) and walked the short distance to the playground. (I did not notice a bathroom, so plan ahead!)

The playground has two small play structures, swings and spring riders. My two year old ran, climbed and asked for under-dogs on the swing.

Swings at Cy Champ Park
The park is great for Houston because of the much needed shade. The playground and trails are covered in trees (and water fountains). I suspect you will need to bring your bug spray when the mosquitoes return this summer.

At the other side of the trail is the Fallen Solders Memorial. Here there is a second parking lot that is just for the memorial.

Fallen Solders Monument at CyChamp Park
This Kia Monument was beautifully design and is very well maintained. The flowers are fresh with not a weed around. Despite the busy road next door, the memorial is peaceful with just flags whipping in the breeze.

It was sobering to walk through and see the names of fallen solders that were sons and fathers, and also younger than me. This memorial is for dedicated to those from Texas who have given their lives defending the United States of America in Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom & Operation New Dawn) and in Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom).

Definitely visit this monument, the trail and the playground. I wish it had been there when I lived next door!

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
