Cy-Champ Park

 There's a park in there??  (We're still not used to all the trees!)

Even a twisty slide!

This is pretty fun for climbing. 

 Bouncy horses!

 Do you think I'm too big for this swing??

 I'd really like to have a picnic here.

 Nature walks are like adventures.

Cy-Champ Park (Cutten Rd & Cypresswood Dr) is home to the Falllen Warrior Memorial, a nice trail, & a playground nestled in the woods.  There is a water fountain, but no restroom.  

Telge Park

Lots of stuff to play on!!

Slides, tic tac toe, & bouncy rides!

These work as monkey bars.

A climby thing!

Look at that big slide.

Swings are so much fun.

Mommy can sit there.

The nature trail.

Telge Park in Cypress (12400 Pleasant Grove Rd) is a 111 acre park with a nature trail, creek, wetland habitat, & a playground.  There is a restroom at the park, near the playground. With the creek & all the trees, I highly recommend you bring bug spray.

Mercer Arboretum & Botanic Garden

We started on the pretty side.  My mommy likes pretty things.

 Mommy said something about there being lots of photo ops around here.  Whatever that means.

 A maze made out of plants!!

 This is the side I came for!  PLAY TIME!!

 This playground is HUGE!

Look at all the tubes & stuff! 

There's a zip line over there too! 

 Swings & a rock wall!

 I love to climb, this things looks fun.

 There are lots of benches to sit on, and so many picnic tables to have lunch!

 This is the playground for little kids.  I'm too big & cool for it now.  ;)

...but it did have some cool bouncy things & more swings!

Mercer Arboretum & Botanic Gardens in Humble (22306 Aldine Westfield Rd.) is a fun place for the whole family - and it's FREE!  It's open 8am-5pm 361 days a year.  The park is split in half by Aldine Westfield Rd.  The east side is where you'll find the botanic gardens, with plenty of beautiful plants & flowers, benches, and even a fan/misting station.  There's also a visitor center & gift shop.  There are restrooms on this side of the park.  You can either walk the trail under Aldine Westfield (it is a rather long walk to the back, where the playground is though), or hop in your car & drive across to the west side, where you'll find the playground, picnic spots, a canoe launch, and trails to check out.  There are also restrooms on this side of the park.  Please check out the rules of the park here (you can also find a map of the park there).

Hi there!

Hi!  I'm The Boy.  I just moved here from Dallas.  Adjusting is kinda hard & I'm feeling a little lonely, so I'm jumping right in with the one thing I love - PARKS!!  I've spent a lot of time researching parks in Dallas, so I'm excited to see how Houston compares!

Oh, the other thing is, I'm not alone on this adventure anymore.  Meet Little Brother:
