Editorial Review for Memorial Park – by Citysearch Editors
The View
Just west of downtown and east of Loop 610 lie Memorial Park's more than 1,400 acres of bike and jogging trails, volleyball courts, picnic areas, tennis courts, five softball fields, two soccer and rugby fields and a golf course.
The Appeal
The park's jogging trails are popular with both athletes and the not-so-athletic. Cyclists can get in some leisurely touring or hard-driving mountain biking on the scenic bike trails. For those who want the exercise but not the outdoor climate, a pool and fitness center is available. You'll also find the Houston Arboretum Nature Center in the park. Dedicated to the memory of the U.S. soldiers who died in World War I, the park sits on what was once Camp Logan.

Memorial Park offers plenty of walking space for those of us who LOVE to powerwalk. Memorial Park is a beautiful park and very clean. Friendly folks who observe and obey the code of ethics. A lovely park for those of us who enjoy staying physically fit. However, the pollution in H town is an ongoing problem, and in the park too. So, you're breathing in that stuff while exercising. Parking isn't a problem (early morning ha-ha). Oh, many thanks to St. Theresa for allowing us to use your clean bathroom!! SS
Pros: 2.88 miles of walking/jogging
Cons: Bathroom facilities

This park is great, if you like to bike, run, play sports then this is your park. There are lots of things you can do here. The restrooms are not very clean but if you are going to the outdoors you should also not be expecting Ritz Carlton type restrooms. The bike trails are very fun and have all types even for people that are just starting out. The only thing that I would like is that the park would implement park rangers or HPD officers on bikes. Many times you will see the soccer crowd leave beer cans all over or people just acting stupid. You know there always is the few that act stupid. Other than that this is a great park for all the family including the dog.
Pros: bike trail, running trail, picnic area
Cons: no park rangers or HPD officers patrolling the inside of the park so people litter too much
