Houston’s signature linear park pairs skyline views with trails, public art, and the hauntingly beautiful Cistern. Frequently highlighted by Condé Nast Traveler and 36 Hours in Houston coverage, it’s a reliable all-ages staple with year-round programming.

wonderful place to walk, jog, or run. lots of sights to see. limited free parking near the waterworks/skate park. there was also a coffee cart that sells matcha, lattes, and some baked goods. wear sunscreen and get your steps in. no ticket required. recommend to go early morning to get parking.

Excelent location that is right on top of the cistern. Awesome views of the Houston downtown. Area is well maintained.

Had a great time here at the Houston Oyster & Seafood Fest!! Long lines, to be expected. You'd think the vendors would have planned for more people, as a few ran out a couple hours before closing. Great venue, though! I would love to go back without the threat of a thunderstorm looming over us!

Views, friendly locals and visitors, events plus a many things to do. The famous Cistern is here but there's more. Rent bikes, bring your skate boards or simply walk/hike/run/bike the expansive trails. Rent paddle boards and kayaks. Yup. So much to enjoy the outdoors. Dress for the heat between April and October. Enjoy

This is a really cool park that I will definitely return to explore more of. Went for Jazz In The Park recently and the vibe was chill. Being newbie, I wasn’t prepared for the parking limitations up close and I would definitely bring my cooler . Overall the park was clean, they had food trucks out front and there was no drama.

First time at this park with my family from Canada and it was just amazing. The time and day we picked was just perfect. There was just the right amount of crowd and the weather was very pleasant. We decided to go around 6:30 in the evening so to ensure the weather was not too hot. The park has amazing views of downtown Houston. There is a stage where they do events and it seems very roomy. The park is so big and it has multiple trails for walking, biking and even kid friendly trails which was super cool. They have proper signage all throughout the park so you can keep track of where you are. There is also a skatepark here and its massive. The park had so many spots to take beautiful pictures with the family. We had a great time and so did our kids.

Second trip here, took visitors. Boring for me, but interesting to them, as it was to me the first trip. It's a must see, in my opinion, but doesn't replay well.

Simply love this place and all the trails are neverending and beautiful.... way to much to see in a day. I've been there several times and I still haven't explored it all yet... Looking forward to going back again...plenty things to do and see for all ages.
