Tom Bass Regional Park is a large three-section park in South Houston with something for almost everyone. You can golf, fish, fly remote-control aircraft, tackle an NFL challenge course, or just enjoy a shaded pavilion with family and friends.
Across its three sections, Tom Bass Regional Park offers golf, fishing, an NFL challenge course, a remote-control (R/C) airfield, and reservable pavilions. The Tom Bass Community Center nearby adds even more programs and facilities to explore.
Plan your visit by picking the section that matches your activity. Check the seasonal hours before you go so you arrive with plenty of time. If you want to host a gathering, call ahead to reserve a pavilion. Keep the park's rules in mind — no glass containers, no open fires, pets on leashes, and no motorized vehicles on grass or trails — so everyone has a great time.
Sections 1 and 3 are open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. from March through October, and 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. from November through February. Section 2 and the R/C Airfield are open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. year-round.
The park spans three locations in South Houston: 3452 Fellows Road, 3902 Fellows Road, and 15108 Cullen Boulevard — all in Houston, TX 77047.
If you enjoy outdoor spaces like this, Harris County Parks manages other regional parks across the Houston area with similar amenities. The Tom Bass Community Center connected to this park may also offer programs worth exploring for all ages.
The park honors Thomas 'Tom' Hutcheson Bass, a Houston-area teacher, college professor, U.S. Army Reserve Officer, State Representative, and Harris County Commissioner who served from 1973 to 1985. He also wrote textbooks and volunteered with many local nonprofits. Naming this park after him reflects the kind of community investment he stood for — and it's a great reason to visit and enjoy what he helped build.
