This entrance and road off Katy Hockley Rd is very productive for birding. Starting by the entrance and transformer structure look for resident and migratory warblers in the trees and shrubs on the fence line to the north (left), while scanning for sparrows and prairie species as well as raptors on the right. Feeders in front of the  Education Center bring a wide variety of species. Walk the lake and wetland trails for abundant waterbirds, wading birds, shorebirds, and gulls and terns.

Great place for some more Western species as well as vagrant and irruptive species. Painted, Indigo, and Lark Bunting have been recorded. 

John Paul Landing Park is a Harris County Precinct 4 park. There are a variety of programs offered at the Environmental Education Center including weekly bird walks (check the county events calendar for current schedule.) There is a mix of habitats but not much shade. 

According to the official website there are 7.8 miles of trails. There is a short loop trail behind the Education Center with small trees and native plantings. The park is reasonably accessible with designated handicap spaces, curb cuts, and wide paved trails. Benches are available but infrequent. Education Center has accessible ramps.
