From there you get to see a good view of Houston downtown. A bit rush on parking during weekends. But I mostly went there during mid night which gave a very nice and calm view of the downtown

Beautiful recreation and scenic outing stretching miles through the urban concrete busy life of Houston.Note, in August its HOT! A metal kiosk in the shade was so hot I went back to check it with infrared thermometer, see Pic 122-125°f readings.The park, trails and entertainment venues are awesome though & aside from the heat and occasional pan handler or homeless encounter usually family friendly & beautiful. (see prior posts for more pics)Parking can get full in best weather busy times & you do have to pay a meter for parking. Handicap parking is readily available throughout the trails.

A great place to enjoy the Houston skyline, have a picnic, take a walk, jog, bike or create your own workout. It’s like our own Central Park. Weather you want to go in the morning or in the evening there is plenty to do and discover.

Honestly, this park made me want to live in Houston. It has something for everyone, rolling trails, art installations, workout stops, and a stunning view of the city. I brought a sandwich, plopped down on a grassy incline, and enjoyed transition from day to night of the Houston skyline.

This such an amazing park with sooo much to offer. Lets start with the view. I think this is the spot to view Downtown Houstons stunning skyline. But beyond that it is the perfect spot of a picnic, walk/run, bike and workout. It is so picturesque that so many people are getting their portraits taken at different spots in the park. I look forward to exploring it further.

This park is obviously beautiful. It was the perfect setting for a 30th birthday couples picnic that I pulled off for my clients along with my friendors. The parking is scarce though which is a drawback and if you miss your exit you have to go alllllllll the way around which is time consuming but other than that it was beautiful. Sorry such shady photos we were under the Pavillion

Back in the fall of 2019 when I workout at the park. I enjoy the atmosphere of the park and used to go there a few times a week. I’ll eventually go there again, once a week, to do some more parkour and workouts. (Pic taken in October 2019).

It’s a great park to have a picnic or walk/run. It’s also great for photography and enjoying the nice skyline view. It has many trails. You can see the skate park from there.The love lock fence is just beside this park on a pedestrian bridge which resembles the famed Pont des Arts bridge in Paris. The chain link live lock fence holds dozens of love locks placed by H-town lovers.No entry fee. Huge parking lot. It’s open 24 hours.

Review №36

Houston’s skyline is one of the most surreal views in the entire United States, and Eleanor Tinsley Park is the best place to view it on foot. For that reason alone, it is a must-visit for anyone wishing to thoroughly travel America.The atmosphere of the park is very pleasant. People laying down and reading, people playing sports, people jogging, people walking. Crowds of happy-looking people going in and out of the park. It’s extremely difficult to leave this place with a negative impression.

Great place to escape the city life within the city. Parking is only $1 for 3 hours which is amazing and gives you more than enough time to get in a great scenic bike ride, walk, run, jog, or stroll through Eleanor Tinsley Park. Even the with Hurricane Harvey flooding City of Houston and volunteers are working fast to rebuild and revamp. Tip: have camera ready lots of rabbits, bunnies, and great scenes of Houston to capture! Enjoy!

At 520 am on a rainy Monday this was the recharge I needed. Great way to start the week. I’ve been using the park for rest, relaxation, exploration and exertion in my quest to get in better shape. It’s amazing and a gem in this terrific city.

Nice park, with very friendly people of various backgrounds working out, walking dogs or playing sports. In this particular day we were out having a drone workshop with a small group of people. Everyone enjoyed watching the drone operations and was a great attraction for inquiring kids. A great location to get a nice view of downtown Houston.

This is perhaps the best section of the Bayou. While parking can be rough it is worth it for a great picnic location or a place to play some sports with your friends. I would recommend trying to park in another section and walk here. Enjoy the sun
