Good first step: Act Visit or reserve a pavilion at El Franco Lee Park
Call 346-286-1805 to book a pavilion, or just show up between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. to enjoy the trails, splash pad, playground, and more!
El Franco Lee Park is a large, free Harris County park open every day from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. It offers sports fields, playgrounds, picnic areas, a butterfly garden, a nature trail, and a summer splash pad — all at no cost to you.
The park includes sports fields, picnic areas, playgrounds, a butterfly garden, a nature trail, and bird-watching spots. A splash pad opens in summer. Covered pavilions are available to reserve. An on-site community center offers additional facilities and programs.
Show up any day between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. — no ticket or registration needed. To reserve a pavilion for a gathering, call 346-286-1805 ahead of your visit. Check the splash pad schedule before heading out on rainy days, since it closes when it rains. Review the park rules below so your group has a smooth visit: no glass containers, no open fires, pets on leash at all times, and park only in designated lots.
Daily, 6 a.m. – 10 p.m. Splash pad runs July 13 – August 10 (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday) from 8 a.m. to noon and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., then weekends only for the rest of August 2026. Splash pad closes during rain.
