MUST SEE: Running at Memorial Park, Houston, TX 77007
One of my favorite things to do is to be outdoors. There are many parks in the Houston area. One of the largest parks in Houston is Memorial Park. Everyday thousands of Houstonians workout at Memorial Park. Houstonians take advantage of the "Exertrail". Depending on your fitness level, you are able to walk or jog or run the 2.8 mile loop around the main portion of Memorial Park.
Running at Memorial Park
It is fascinating to see at ANY time of the day or night there is someone using the Seymour Lieberman exer-trail around Memorial Park. I really find it amusing that for many years Houston had the notoriety of being the fattest city in America. "What-ev!!!!!" For me, my favorite thing to do is running. I run a loop around Memorial Park and finish up with several sets of pushups, situps and pull ups at the stretching area by the tennis center. If you are a fitness fanatic or even just starting your wellness program, Memorial Park has much to offer you!
Houston Parks
One of the things that I like most about Houston Parks is the breadth of its size and the amount of amenities that you can do. There are several volleyball courts, baseball/softball fields, contemplative gardens, tennis courts, golf, trails and more. Many Houstonians sponsor events 5K races, the Houston marathon course has the "wall" at the beginning of the park, Houston rodeo trail riders camp out here for several weeks during the Houston rodeo and much more activities. Come on out today and start running!

This video a section from three different locations on the Seymour Lieberman Exer-trail at Memorial Park: Across from the stretching area by the tennis center, across the street from Memorial Park golf course backing St. Therese Catholic church and at the light by Memorial Drive and E Memorial Loop. I totally cracked up watching this video because the second segment my iphone picked up a lot of static. Oh well. Enjoy anyways.
