It’s in Herman park, Houston. Calm and quiet place to enjoy the atmosphere.
I never took the time to actually walk the entire park when downtown. It was truly relaxing to get out during the middle of the week and early afternoon. Sultry, poetic vibes were in effect.
Beautiful park with shaded trails from the trees! Paddle boat on the ponds or take the train around the park!
Good place 👍 and the park around are quite nice and clean. People gather here picnics outdoor activities. There is a concert hall near by, a Japanese garden.
