Buffalo Bayou Park

Things to Do in Houston, Texas for a Long Weekend

"I capped the weekend at Buffalo Bayou Park, a 160-acre urban green space featuring a 30,000-square-foot skatepark, a converted cistern now used as an art space, and a bridge that hosts about 250,000 Mexican free-tailed bats; like Houston itself, it has something for everyone." - Meena Thiruvengadam Meena Thiruvengadam Meena Thiruvengadam is a lifelong traveler and veteran journalist who has visited more than 50 countries across six continents.
