    It pains me to write this review because I want to keep this a hidden gem so badly! This has been my favorite park for two years now. It's a great place for family or a picnic date. The area is super safe, right next to an HEB and plenty of apartments. Really open concept so it's great to let your dogs or children run loose without losing sight of them. This park truly is wonderful! I recommend going at sunset, the view makes the trip worth it.

    So convenient that there is a parking lot at this park. It made setting up for our picnic really easy. The park was a good size with a couple trees to sit under and an open field area, plus a basketball court. We saw several work out groups and I'll more than likely chose the same spot for future outdoor gatherings.

    Beware of the burglars who frequent Spotts Park!

    YOU WILL GET YOUR CAR BURGLARIZED AT SPOTTS PARK. Seriously. My son loves playing ball at the basketball court at Spotts, so we come here once in a while. Over the last few years, I've seen at least half a dozen cars broken into. I though I was too smart to let that happen to me as I always took precautions. Well low and behold, if someone wants to steal your stuff, they will steal your stuff. Had my car broken into in March. Not much I could do about it. You'll call the police and they'll take your report by phone. The end. I parked my car literally 30 feet from a super busy playground. Either people don't want to get involved or this thief had the gentlest touch ever, because apparently no one saw anything. I wish I had had enough sense to stop going to Spotts after witnessing a few cars getting broken into. Thankfully all these a-holes got was a bag full of my son's dirty clothes.

    Soccer bubble fun but look at that view!

    Dropped by Spotts Park on Saturday for a BBQ/Bubble Soccer birthday... The park itself is a bit hard to find (thanks google maps!) and much harder to park! I drove around for like 10 minutes and stalked people leaving, (yup similar to what I do at the Galleria during the holidays. Lol!) until I found a spot across the street. The parks actual "parking lot" consists of maybe 20 legitimate parking spots (that I saw) so consider yourself lucky if you find one, but other than that, street parking is available. I read several comments about people breaking into cars; I didn't witness a break in but I did see glass on the floor on the street adjacent to the park so I made sure to hide all my sh*t in the trunk. On the bright side, this park is phenomenal! I loved how it's it was so open, the lay out and all the different areas it has. It has a basketball court, volleyball sandbox, walking/running trails, and ample space to run around. We bbq'd, broke a piñata (hung it on one of the trees) and played soccer bubble. The park sits into the ground (not sure how to explain this lol ) so you can even roll down the hill! Yeap, I rolled down the hill, and the best part is, I literally rolled down inside of one of those soccer bubble thing-a-ma-jiggers. Yes, I had a blast! I absolutely loved the city views, specially when the sun started to set. I'll definitely be back to explore the rest of the park!

    The neighborhood 16.24 acre playground. I live in walking distance from the park. It is a nice area away from the concrete jungle and pollution that is Houston. I probably go here about once a week to play basketball on their outdoor / covered / lit basketball court. There are usually two half court games of 4 v 4. Most people are too lazy (or perhaps out of shape?) to play full court. There are running trails, 2 sand volleyball courts, a jungle gym, benches for picnics and of course open fields/trees. Many times you can see people training or exercising by running up and down the hills because it is VERY tiring. There are also steps and tennis courts up on top. edit: Because this park is in the developing Heights area, I would not leave anything valuable out in the open or in cars. My friend's car was broken into and her purse stolen.

    I love this park.I saw a lot of blue bonnets around this park.I visited there. Every year, we can see some bluebonnets around the park along Allen parkway. I played tennis and volleyball.This was a great park to play sports. I had a BBQ party.I had a lot of great memories. Only issue is parking. The parking space is limited in the park.

    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.

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

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.
