Guest danax Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I want to check this place out. Where is it located? It's like Ave R, I think, east of Wayside. On the map above, Hidalgo Park is that little green area by the bayou below Clinton. Terrbo, you've captured the focal point for one of the East End areas with the most potential. Even if the Buffalo Bayou Master Plan never materializes fully, I believe eventually the same residential and retail developments will sprout along the bayou by themselves. There's just too much magnetism to such a large body of water within close proximity to DT. Yes, Virginia, Houston has a river, but it really begins east of Allen's Landing.

RedScare Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Anyone know what that pavillion is, where the boat is parked on the other side of the railroad trestle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnu Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Anyone know what that pavillion is, where the boat is parked on the other side of the railroad trestle? It's where you get on the boat for the channel tour http://www.portofhouston.com/samhou/samhou.html Embarking from the port's Sam Houston Pavilion, visiting sightseers can enjoy passing views of international cargo vessels, and operations at the port's Turning Basin Terminal.

EastEnd Susan Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I never knew what the parks name was. We used to go there in the mid 70's late at night, sit in the gazebo and listen to the ships horns and tell ghosts stories. Silly teenagers.
