👍👍 A month ago I moved to Houston from NYC and I couldn't find a place in the city that I liked, this park makes me remember Central Park for its lakes and the zoo as well as its sidewalks!

👍👍 Probably the best Road bike trail around Houston. There is very little foot traffic on the highway 6 side and one the few places where you can cruise at 25mph without having to dodge cars or slow for pedestrians.

👍 Nice place to rest while riding the Root River trail. Nice playground for the kids, but it's not a jungle gym type place. Rather, it's a hill, some carved items to climb on, a rock tunnel and other "natural things" kids like.

😠 The Conservancy isn't living up to its promise to preserve the park. They're spending millions of dollars for a flashy bridge while currently destroying 30 year old natural trails! These trails have brought endless joy to so many and it's a crime that they're ruining them. If they can't save and pre...
