Carl Barton Jr. Park Is Conroe's Big Sports-and-Pond Park

Carl Barton Jr. Park sits along South Loop 336 in Conroe. It was built in two phases in 1999 and 2000 and is named for a former mayor.

The park has fishing ponds, pavilions, pickleball, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, an accessible playground, fitness course, public art, picnic areas, and trails.

It works for league Saturdays, but also for ordinary weekdays. You can walk, meet family under a pavilion, let kids play, or sit by a pond. Reserve fields or pavilions through Conroe Parks for a larger group.
