    Miles of winding trails. Make sure you have a bike with tires that can handle some of the mixed terrain if you're riding your bike. Great elevation changes here and a nice view of the city.

    The recently competed pavilion has a small restaurant that can be booked for special events and you can rent a kayak to go down the bayou.

    Check out Bayou City Adventures for kayaks, SUP & canoes. Great view of city. Only complaint, there's a lot of trash along bayou & you do get wet. Very fun regardless! Lots of walking & biking trails

    Web Designer Maddie enjoys that she can read a book while her dog plays. It makes her feel as though she is not in the middle of the city. She says, "bring a beer and a lawn chair...and bug spray."

    Great park with fun walking trails, but honestly my fav place is the dog park here, it's considerably the best in Houston & tons of dog owners bring their pups here. Always a great variety!

    This is a great trail! There are bike and foot paths and it runs along both sides of the bayou. Watch out when the weather gets bad though... The paths can get very muddy.

    There are giant gar fish and turtles to watch and you might even see an alligator. Of course, the Rosemont Bridge spanning the bayou is the perfect spot for viewing the downtown skyline. Read more

    There is nothing more relaxing and beneficial for the mind than a walk along this historic waterway. If you get right down along the water, you’ll forget you are in the middle of the city. Read more

    The improvements they've done along the park have really transformed this area. Beautiful location to come and get a walk in the morning. Pet friendly

    Getting nicer. All the north trails are done but the south trails are just partially completed. Almost a complete loop which is almost 6-8 miles.

    All the work they've done in the last few years has really come along nicely. This park is amazing.

    There are a lot of crossing points over the bayou so it's a very flexible-length trail.

    Koşmak için ideal. Daha bir sürü spor yapma imkanı mevcut; bisiklet, kano, kaykay birazda treking. Great place for a good run.
