Memorial Park by the rugby/soccer field parking lot
N Picnic Lane
Houston, TX 77007
Memorial Park, known as the Central Park of H-town, is an amazing 1466 acre park (one of the largest in the county) right inside the loop! Trails are a mix of hard packed dirt, sand, trees and tree roots.
It is wooded and wild in the middle of the city!
Join us for an hour and a half quick-paced hike through some of the lesser-known (and more adventuresome) trails our park has to offer. Wear tennis shoes or hiking boots, it’s easy to bang a toe on a tree root. And, there’s some "elevation" in the park that you wouldn’t expect from just driving by.
Remember to bring water; there are no water fountains along the trails.
After the hike, a group always goes out for breakfast and coffee.
Here’s what our friends at GHORBA.org have to say:
“Memorial Park offers a convenient escape from the concrete jungle of Houston with seven miles of dirt trails. Trails are marked and named by their “Color” of trail markers.”
