I go to memorial park every day! On the weekends, I am there between 6 and 7:30 at the benches next to the fitness apparatus and parking lot doing abs. It is the best! Plenty of trees, nice people, More

This place is a runners paradise, and about the only place within Houston's inner loop where you can "get away from it all". The park is densely populated with a variety of trees, which is surrounded by a 3 mile running loop. This is where I do almost all of my marathon training because it is easy to keep track... More

Apart from having a fantastic walk / running area, this is one of my favourite golf courses. The green fees are a bargain, they have push carts and the staff are (generally) polite and efficient. It's worth taking a trip out after work hours, any evening, to watch the hundreds of joggers strut their stuff. Some even take their parrots... More

I have visited Memorial Park before but it has been a year at least. I went this weekend with my husband and we did a short walk but plan on making longer walks around the park more frequently on the weekends when we have the chance. There are about 3 miles of walking trails and stretching areas. Bicyclist and walkers/joggers/runners... More

More wonderful green space in the city of Houston. The trees in Memorial Park are the big draw for me. Check out the miles of jogging trails. Nothing to complain about here. More

It's enormous, and well used by Houstonians for all kinds of outdoor activities. Parking can be challenging at times. More

Houston isn't much on parks, but this one isn't bad. Runners and walkers will appreciate the 3 mile path around the main park area. There are playfields, but this isn't a great place for kids. It's ok, but pretty much just a big grassy park with trees. If you're a yuppie or yuppie wanna be, you have to run here... More
