McDade Park Blends Disc Golf, Fishing, and Neighborhood Play

McDade Park sits at 10310 FM 2854, west of Conroe proper. It opened on 19 acres and grew once an 18-hole disc golf course was added in 2004, which is still the thing it's best known for.

Around the discs you'll find a pavilion, restrooms, a play structure, athletic fields, exercise stations, a basketball court, a half-mile jogging and walking trail, picnic tables, horseshoe pits, and a fishing spot.

It's a fair picture of Conroe's everyday park system — nothing flashy, but it absorbs a lot of ordinary routines at once. Someone walks the half-mile loop while the kids work the playground and a foursome throws the back nine. The fields and pavilion can be reserved through Conroe Parks and Recreation if you're bringing a crowd.
