Excellent park for a family trail

This is a great outdoor space. It has so much to offer for all people to enjoy nature, exercise, and socialize. We love the view of the city at the Sabine Bridge (day and night). There is free parking. Playground for the kids with sand and a uniquely design play scape. But, what I love most about this park is the vibe. People are exercising, meeting and greeting and enjoying each others company. We like to go down right before the bats emerge from the Waugh Bridge. There is always a group of people gathered there every night. The lighting is perfect for a evening stroll and there is staff that patrols.

Cool, nice, pleasant and family friendly place.. walk, picnic, eat .. just in the Houston downtown, no need to go out of city for fresh air

Waugh Drive Bridge Bat. Super flight show, thousands of bats. You have to come at nightfall and don't hesitate to talk to the guide, who will give you plenty of explanations. Difficult parking. Personally, I parked at the Subway just next door

Lori Garza | Oct 19, 2019
Alan Hogle | Oct 19, 2019

Yes you could!!! Over by the university ( UofH) there is lots of places you could set up... Depends on if you want to ride far or stay close to a parking lot... There's lots of places along the bike trails, and the guy that said no probably never has been there

How and WHY did BAYOU get the name BUFFALO attached to it?

Wayne DeHart | Oct 19, 2018
Buffalo Bayou Park | Oct 19, 2018

When Stephen F. Austin journeyed to Texas to establish a colony, he carried a Spanish map. Near what is now the Houston area, the map showed a “Rio Cibolo” - “cibolo” being the word Spanish explorers used for buffalo. When Austin had the map translated into English, the waterway was labeled “Buffalo Bayou.”
