Hermann Park - Houston DavyRockt: I dont often frequent the Museum District. So, its been awhile since my last visit to the park. However, my last visit has convinced me to frequent it more often.
I was originally there to see the Great Elephant Migration temporary exhibit, and I decided to take full advantage of the area. Im a hobbyist photographer, and was using the beautiful landscape to study composition, and the area was perfect for it.
I stopped by on a Thursday, close to evening, and the best parking was close to the Miller Outdoor Theatre, as lots and streetside, close to the museums, were full. There were hundreds of people out, doing a variety of activities like lounging, eating, enjoying the playgrounds. Quite a wonderful atmosphere.
On top of all that, there were so many amenities to participate in. I grabbed a snow cone at a food truck, that was close to a carousel, at the commons. I also swung by the Japanes Botanical Gardens, the Sam Houston Statue, the reflecting pond, and the paddle boat area. All quite peaceful, well maintained, and inviting.
Helens Garden - League City Ivonne Gauna: The park was gorgeous, quiet, and very scenic. It is a small park, but you can’t ask for anything more.
Bayou Parkland - Houston Czar Anderson: This whole park in general has wonder views, sidewalks, and is so quiet and peaceful. Great place to ride around on bikes too ( Herman park)
Allens Landing Park - Houston Dale Bender: This week at Allens Landing is Snow Glow. A four story high water spray that acts like a screen for projected images. Starts at 7pm and ends around 10pm. Projections lastes 15 minutes and then start over. Free to the public. First time in Houston.
Eclectic Menagerie Park - Zhen Eagle (EZ): There are some interesting large artifacts there, but the whole park isnt too big, so you can see it all quickly.
And since its an open field with no shade, it can get a little bit hot easily under the sun.
Bay Area Park - Houston Barry Coates: What a great public park. Clean and lots of places to sit. We got to see a lot of critters but no gators. Probably to make people.
Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern - Houston Sharma, B: I had been thinking about visiting this place for a long time. Just yesterday I found out that entrance to the cistern is free every first Thursday of the month and, today being coincidentally the first Thursday of this month, decided to finally do it - everyone loves a free thing, right?
Theres also free parking available but you might need some luck to get an available space. The tour into the cistern was pretty bare-boned; some history recounted, some dimensions and capacities discussed. We made an entrance into a darkened space and the guide used her flashlight to illuminate different parts of the place to explain each one. We then did some fun echo and reverberation stuff and finally the lights were turned on to enjoy the whole cistern in all its splendor. The guided part lasted maybe eight to ten minutes, after which we were free to walk around on the surrounding walkways.
You may have seen pictures, during your research, of all the columns beautifully lit up. Well, lighting on this tour was very basic. Only the periphery was lit up, the rest of the space was still dark. The complete lighting is apparently only switched on during special events.
Over all, it was a nice and enjoyable 25 minutes or so. After visiting the cistern, if you have the time, you may want to go for a walk on the trails next to the bayou, and make it a nice healthy morning for you.
