    Located at the beginning of Wescott street it's easy to find. We use it as a gathering point for cycling down to the Buffalo Bayou trail. This park has lots of parking, It's a little secluded and close a few eateries. Not the best pics but it's what I had...entrance and the bridge to the gardens.

    We tried to find the entrance to this park with no success. The GPS took us behind some houses and told us to walk from there. I happened to see the Leonel Castillo building and decided to check it out. It seems like it may be one of the entrances to the trails. We parked there to enjoy a few minutes of the sunset.

    Hogg Park is the gateway to the White Oak Bayou trail for the Historic Near Northside neighborhood. This park isn’t big but it’s a lovely access point to the Bayou paths with an incredible view of the downtown skyline and plenty of free parking behind the community center. Depending the time of year, the wildflowers along this stretch are stunning (usually late April into May). There really isn’t an easier place to park to bike either downtime to the Buffalo Bayou paths, the Heights or further up white Oak Bayou. We love having this park just outside our door, our dogs do too.

    Love it, coz of the evening breeze/wind that you get, the green you have and a good downtown viewpoint near University of Houston along the trail.

    Can't tell where the park begins or ends but the scenery is spectacular nonetheless.

    A nice park with an awesome view of the downtown skyline from a distance. The trails are very scenic.

    This is nearly 2 miles of the best fishing in Houston. For families looking to enjoy a great time, just use wonder bread balled on a hook, or some corn, with enough weight to keep it on the bottom. Cast down steam and hold on to your pole. You will catch carp and catfish 1-20 pounds. The concrete areas are steep so bring a long net. Bring sunblock and a lunch. The bike trails have trash cans and benches. There's no "good spot". If they are biting, you will catch fish.

    A mix of concrete and nature that one only seems to find in the USA, great place for a walk.

    This is less a park, and more a curly sidewalk with a few pieces of artwork and wildflowers planted by volunteers a few times a year. Its one of the few methods to enter a series of building-free urban areas deemed as "parks." Hogg parks boundaries are difficult to detail, but its just a small hill that requires plants to keep from eroding and some group does so to keep it nice. Speaking specifically about this park, it is upkept, has decent parking, its safe, a little hard to find and has a young children park area which is neat. I often see families in the grass, enjoying a pick nick as I bike down the curvy path to the other series of parks and do some fishing or biking. In the surounding parks, I enjoy looking into the landscape where the city bulldozes homeless camps into the ground and lets their belongings compost into the brick-filled soil. The several mile string of interconnected parks are deemed an uninhabitable area of Houston due to flooding, so the city threw in a sidewalk, some grass, and works fairly hard to keep campers and homeless away so the rich can walk and enjoy the wee bit of available nature in an otherwise concrete jungle of trash that steadily flows into the park areas water system. Fortunately, Hogg Park itself does not contribute much to that trashy system, but it does lead there. I figure the area will get nicer and nicer as the rich begin to push out the working class and jack up property taxes, which in turn make this side of Northside nicer.

    This park is very nice, well maintained kept & not as busy as Memorial Park- which is where I used to go on my walks. I like that the track also has mile markers & the parking is generous. I'm sure it gets busier at certain parts of the day but the times I've gone (before 10am) & sometimes after 5pm on weekdays , I've always found convenient parking. I took off a star because it needs more trees that line the path. The sun beating down makes it miserable & I shorten my walk when I do early times cause the sun is relentless in 70% of the walk. Plus.. what's wrong with more trees? Plant more lol
