This year (2024) is actually the centennial of this park's naming. It's the city's largest urban green space, and has a shared-use road that's great for road biking and inline skating.

There's a lot more going on here too, from golf to mountain biking, plus hiking trails and group fitness classes.

Hiking

Nestled in Houston's Uptown area, this beautiful park covers 1,500 acres, which is almost double the size of New York's Central Park. It is one of the largest parks in the United States and features nearly 30 miles of fantastic paved and natural trails that wind through a lovely urban forest. It's an ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, with plenty of options for a short or extended hike.
