Day Trip: Houston / Susan Brown, Your Texas Connection, KW Realty NE

Have you visited Memorial Park lately?

According to H Texas Magazine, there are ten reasons Memorial Park, a 1500+ acre city park that is almost double the size of New York City's Central Park, would be an excellent choice for a day trip.

1. Great place for a picnic.  Spots are available to reserve for larger groups.
2. Golf.  The course opens at 6:30 AM.  The green fees are $30 weekday, $38 weekend.  Carts and practice range are extra.  Specials for Seniors!  Closed on Tuesdays.
3. Rollerblading.  Enjoy a 1.15 mile paved Picnic Loop that is closed to cars after 3 PM weekdays.
4. Cowboy it up!  Four miles of equestrian trails are available for your enjoyment.
5. Tennis.  Eighteen lighted courts that you can reserve a week in advance.  Pricing ranges from $4 to $6.  
6. Bird-watching.  The Hogg Bird Sanctuary is right around the corner.
7. Bicycling.  Biking trails.  Off-road biking.  You're welcome.
8. Inhale.  A mature tree produces enough oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year!
9. Run Forest Run.  A well-lit crushed granite trail runs for 3 miles and is open 24/7. 
10. Commune with Nature.  Refresh and renew in the great outdoors for an excellent stress reducer.
