Triton Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 There was an hour long wait to get onto the playground, with security controlling entry and exit. Was quite a big event this past weekend! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bookey23 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 The whole area was extremely well done. We chose not to wait in the long line for the big playground, but my kid loved the little playground on the side with the big monkey 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 The whole Commons is really beautiful. Great addition to a pretty amazing park. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChannelTwoNews Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Very much looking forward to checking this out with my kids when I'm back in town at the start of June. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htownproud Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 We went both days, and it was great. The line for the big playground was about 10 minutes when we went (apparently they will have someone there monitoring the gates at all times). My kids loved the sand and water feature, which I think is unique to Houston parks (bring a change of clothes and towel for the kids). My only complaint is there are not many bathrooms, but the ones they have are very nice. Great addition to the park.  6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said Sunday was so bad that they had to have people even guarding who was entering the slide (the rocket) because there was a line inside the playground just to ride and some kids were trying to come from the bottom to bypass the line. Either way, sounds like people loved it! My son certainly did and he already wants to go back to the water side next time (we'll remember to bring his swim trunks with us! lol). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookey23 Posted Friday at 04:40 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:40 PM I went today. What a fantastic addition to Hermann Park and a truly great playground. I couldn't recommend it more highly for families. I wish there was a little more inviting open lawn space for non-families, but this will still be a destination area for Houstonians for years to come 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLWM8609 Posted Friday at 05:19 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:19 PM Did they remove the Dillidiidae sculpture or relocate it to another part of the park? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
