What a beautiful piece of nature in the city. Really love what they've done with the place. Will be bringing the family here for nature walks every weekend. So peaceful and pretty! Highly recommend. 5 dollars to park and enjoy the gorgeous scenery (especially in fall) is nothing. Definitely plan on getting the park membership.

Well worth the $5 to park, and free on Thursdays. This is such a green gem in the vast cityscape of Houston. It’s expansive and superbly maintained. I can only speak to the experience of a parent to young kids, but there’s way more to it than the much-appreciated play space and indoor discovery center. Trails upon trails, lovely views, pretty flowers, and plenty of shade. I saw plenty of hikers, cyclists, and puppy parents enjoying the space too. We’ll definitely be back.
