Old Katy's do-everything park, best known for a free indoor swimming pool (with a shallow area). Outside there's a big playground, a small lake for fishing and feeding ducks, cheap mini golf and a paved loop around the lake, so there's somewhere to play even at 100°F.

💡 Tips
The indoor pool has set open-swim times and age rules; check the Precinct 4 schedule before you go and bring swimsuits and swim diapers. The lake has lots of ducks, so bring some grain rather than bread. Mini golf is a few dollars per person.
