"Set on 160 acres that border the bayou and stretch to downtown, Buffalo Bayou Park offers something for everyone, including running and biking trails, a children’s play area, spectacular art sculptures like “Tolerance” by Jaume Plensa (seven silvery aluminum human figures that represent the seven continents), and The Dunlavy, a restaurant and event venue. There are also canoe and kayak rentals, a skatepark, a two-acre dog park, and 18 acres of wild flowers and prairies where you can spread out and picnic." - Marcy de Luna
