    Love them! Don't you?

    The deception of this miniature park. Ginormous & rich in Houston history. Everyone enjoys a great story of secrets, double-dealing, & murder! Get the scoop on THE Elizabeth Baldwin and Elizabeth Baldwin Park here: http://www.houstontx.gov/parks/parksites/baldwinpark.html First time I ever came was in 2012, baby daddy was working on an art car for the famous Houston art car parade. It had rained, it was wet, hard to stay clean. My little people and I loved it. The trees and puddles called our names. Yesterday, May 10, 2017, I visited with a girlfriend. The plan was to sit and enjoy the day. It was a splendid breezy day; I could hear the branches calling me again to play. No way I could just sit and park it, much less let her do it either. We spent our late morning in the trees. Laughing from our fear of falling. It's a great date spot. Not a lot of people here, isolate, perfect for public affection. I mean you could come relax, read, play chess, or checkers too. What ever creams your Twinkie. What ever tickles your pickle. Different strokes for different folks. You get that urban and relaxed feel just across the way from the fast pace of Downtown Houston. Great playground. My kids enjoyed it back in the day when it wasn't so fancy, fun for all the little ones, and young at heart. I read a review that stated there is no restroom, it's not for "outsiders", great observation. That maybe so. They could even build a fence, but good thing I can climb. Latina heritage and all. Happy climbing!

    Love this park! You can bring dogs here. There are plastic bag dispensers everywhere to scoop poop so it's great for dog owners. There are pull-ups bars and parallel bars for people like me who love to work out. There are beautiful trees that are big and old that provide great amounts of shade on sunny days. Perfect community park!

    I've been coming here my whole life. I love all the changes that have been made to this park over the years to make it friendlier to the neighborhood and making this place safer. My dog loves coming here to play with other dogs, chase squirrels or find sticks on the floor. Every now and then you find food on the floor that careless people or homeless people leave so be careful if your dog starts sniffing at an area for too long! But over all I love the changes that have been made to this park over the passed 20 plus years.

    This park is beautiful! You can't beat gorgeous live oak trees combined with a glimpse of the Houston skyline. It has a neighborhood feel in the heart of the city! The occasional homeless person hanging around the picnic tables can put a damper on your party, picnic, or day at the park. Other that that, the park can be a great place to spend an afternoon with your pups or kiddos. There are doggie bag dispensers and trash cans along the 1/4 mile trail as well as a cute little playground.

    The Houston Cistern at Buffalo Bayou Park is not only an amazing piece of Houston history but also…read morea wonderful structure to tour. In a city that is known for tearing down and paving over so much of our history, it is wonderful that this was saved and has been made into a place that visitors can visit and experience. I went with some friends from Kingwood on a Photo Walk of the area, we were lucky that the light and sound experience was still going on, each column in the cistern has LED lighting that changes to the tune of some aethereal music playing silently, the acoustics of the cistern make it sound so beautiful and mesmerizing. When you purchase your ticket online you choose one of the available times, upon entry they give you 30 minutes, the time passed quickly. Be ready if you are taking pictures or better yet, a video. Smart phones work great but you might consider turning off auto focus and just focusing manually if you know how because when it gets dark for a moment and then the lights come on most cameras auto focus has to search for focus so it goes in and out of focus. When you leave, there is a skateboard park up above and worth some time for taking pictures of the acrobatic skating going on.

    What a time we had at this fabulous event. The weather was bad earlier that day so by the time we…read morearrived it was still a little bit damp. The event was called Diner en Blanc an all white exclusive event, with pictures, food, live bands, fashion shows and more. Their catering was ok but for 100 pp for food is a hard no for me. The group we were with was ok had higher hopes but that's the ultra friendly side of me talking It was at buffalo bayou park but because of the rain lots of people (Angela) clothes were filthy There was nothing missed, our people showed up and showed out. The live band was very good, music for all age groups. Now our people forget what copy paper white looks like, they clearly said no off white, beige, cream, egg shell but they had all shades of whitish

    Peaceful, zen, bit of nature within the museum district's Herman Park…read more Parking was free since we went on a Sunday and we were able to find a very close spot within the lot. We want on a day with gorgeous weather, not too hot and plenty of sunshine. We saw squirrels, turtles coyfish and various birds.

Here and there, I spotted a delicate cherry blossom and a few early blooms, though I wish I had visited at the peak of flower season. The garden itself is exquisitely designed and every corner seems crafted for peace, and I truly enjoyed the calm atmosphere. It felt like a small escape from the city hustle. That said, I did notice the cleanliness was a bit of an issue; the garden could definitely use some extra care to keep it pristine. Another small drawback was the restroom situation. There are only two available, and both were quite busy, so I ended up waiting a while and eventually decided it wasn't worth it. Still, the park draws a lovely crowd with people come to stroll, reflect, and soak in the beauty. If I'm in Houston again at a better time, I'll absolutely return to see the garden in full bloom. It has so much potential, and with a little more attention to detail, it could be a true hidden gem.
