A really nice park, really modern. Lots to do, with a bunch a spots to just relax. Has an indoor basketball court, a pool, even tennis courts. And best of all this peace of property has a lot of history. Its amazing what it has become. Its a must go to park here in Houston.

Very nicely kept, beautiful park. Went for the memorial of black lives. Made sure we were safe, masked and distanced from each other and placed elders in the front.

You can feel the ancestors here... it is full of soul and community. As I was walking other brothers and sisters were greeting and acknowledging me. WOW!!! I talked with an elder gentleman that lives across the street from the park for about 40 minutes just hearing his stories.

Great community path! Nice tile mosaics dot the park with descriptions of historical figures. Also includes baseball field, tennis courts, basketball court, aquatic center, and rec center. Well laid out and clean.

Emancipation Park was beautiful. It was clean and had great space for people to walk, run, skate, or just sit and enjoy a summer/autumn breeze. Great place for family time or a walk in the park with your sweetheart.

The park redevelopment is amazing. Great job. This park deserved this makeover. Emancipation Park has been a key gathering place for many years in the community. Well done!

For the culture, telling our stories out loud and unapologetically. This center also promotes physical wellness in the community. A staple in 3rd ward keeping our people elevated and showing them the way.

Historic Emancipation Park inside Houston, Texas Historic Third Ward. Beautiful park,cultural center. Also has a public pool and tennis courts. Great family, pet friendly park.

Nice park with a swimming pool, community center and lush, green lawn. It is a gathering place for the predominantly black neighborhood of Third Ward in Houston. Black churches in mid 19th century had contributed money to buy the land and created the first park for blacks in Houston. You can a lot of history by visiting this park.

Play park really far from reat area which.i dont think is safe but beautiful background park to take pictures

Great Park.. Love the changes.. Lots of great eating spaces.. Pool, Sports and activities are great

Great local park- lots of outdoor events like movie nights etc, usually with several food trucks. There is a gym you can get membership to as well (weights, basketball, tennis, outdoor swimming pool, etc). The recent multimillion dollar renovation is impressive.

Very clean and nestled in an historic area. There are many nearby restaurants in the vicinity.

I had the new Carrot Ginger Shake. It was awesome

The chicken was very fresh a Good!!! And the person at the window was Nice

Great family park and you can rent bike for cheap.. west African dance classes on Fridays

For real the fanciest and most beautiful park Ive ever been to.

Awesome park! Plenty of parking and nice amenities.

Its a great clean place to bring your family awesome equipment for kids softball Waterpark exercise gym everything clean.

A beautiful peice of history in our city that reminds us of what happens when we come together against the odds. Waking around the park you feel a sense of peace and belonging. Worth multiple visits.

I have never been to this park my family and I visited here for the memorial..but the line was to long..however the park itself is in a good location and it is layed out nice

I grew up at this park, lots of good memories

Beautiful Place. Came Here To See The Say Their Memorial

Us!, Coming together. Its a great day.

One of the oldest parks in Houston which is being renovated with Black History including monuments of Black Pioneers such as Dr. Jack Yates and more. Id recommend visiting and spending time here.

Remodeled and fantastic. Beautiful and picturesque.

This is a beautiful park bordered by Emancipation Ave, Elgin St, Hutchins St and Tuam St. Its an urban oasis. See my photo of the Park Directory.Cultural, Aquatic and Recreation Centers are located here. The Rec Center has a gymnasium and weight/exercise equipment room.In addition, there is a baseball field, picnic pavilions, a playground and a large green space.

This is a wonderful park! Has convenient parking, a fun playground for kids, baseball field, some walking area, a pool w/ slide and more! They even have a gym and I think a library? Though in a not so good part of town it is worth going here!

I grew up in 3rd ward from 1960 until 1984... it will always be home... I went to the church across the street from the Emancipation Park.Today was the 1st time I actually got out the car and actually walk the grounds... even though everything was closed due to this PANDEMIC we are all experiencing.... I will say just being there 2day gave me such a great sense of peace.. so I would just like to say Thank you for reminding me of HOME 2day...Emancipation Park is Absolutely Beautiful!!

The exhibit was very tastefully done.

Such a great asset to the community!

Great park with something for everyone. They have a building to workout and play basketball. Another building to go swimming. Then they have artistic structures that are great for pictures and wide open spaces for almost anything.

Beautiful! Say they Name memorial

Great Historical connections displayed. Its of place solitude and breathe.

Its a park for kids, my grands were in town & wanted to see this new park. We went on a Hot Day & could not go into the cool gym cause we didnt sign up in February. Kids 13, 4, & 7. We had to hit the heat cause their name wasent on a list 3 months Ago! And the gym Was Not Full. They just wanted to play, not spend the night, not to stay for 4 hours, just play. Sister told us No, So I want be back. Its a Free Park, what was that about? ? ?

Attended peaceful protest on May 30th here in wake of George Floyds murder. This park is really beautiful and there was a really good soul food place up the block (thats actually vegan too, get the fried mushroom po-boy). Even though tensions were high and passions raw, everyone remained peaceful and respectful.

Its a beautiful park. Lots of playground space for the kids, many interesting open areas to gather or picnic. My only issue is with the hours an access to the main buildings which house the restroom and gym and community center. The hours are weird and access somewhat restricted. I believe its stiffling attendance at the park.

Fun exercise and to throw parties..

The display showed a lot more people killed by policemen that the news dont show. And it is really sad to see so many lives loss in that manner.

Great place to go and get away

Beautiful nugget in the heart of third ward

This place I so fun. They have nice events here. They have a community center, pool, park, basketball court, and a hill for you to excersise on.

Amazing green space and clean.

Very nice park..... they have a lot of resources... Gym and Aquatic Center

Amazing time. Went for The Juneteenth Celebration. Nice greenery and very clean. There was also a very nice pool there as well. There were a few indoor restrooms which is always a plus when being outdoors for hours.

We had a great time at the Movie in the Tre, featuring Pursuit of Happyness. Food trucks and music! The staff are wonderful and its a beautiful and thriving park.

Wonderful park in the center of 3rd ward. Nice park to workout or walk your dog.

The Amerigroup Mardi Gras Healthcare Expo was very beneficial to every ones health nice events to do free massage, very nice photo booth, free food live music, dancing very festive also out of this world it was our first time trying Cajun food mind blowing.

The new development there looks great

Great Event for Family & Friends to come together & Celebrate a Historic Moment Juneteenth 1872 still alive 2019.

Very nice park, good parking

Its so Culturally Heartwarming

I think I love the park

What a beautiful historical landmark enriched with so much Black History. The land that housed Emancipation Park was originally purchased and owned by Blacks. After being emancipated from slavery on Juneteenth, blacks wanted a place of their own to celebrate. They came together and purchased this land and Emancipation Park was born. It is now owned and maintained by Houston Parks and Recreation services.

Very very nice with lots of space for walking, running or riding a scooter. I like major parts are covered.

Must visit before 10/13

Nice small weight room with almost everything you will need. They also have indoor and outdoor basketball court. You need to register to get in (registration for the year is free though).

Theres a beautiful mosaic of Rev. Jack Yates. The new pool and the rest are currently #COVIDCLOSED.

There is absolutely no organization at this facility. No public restrooms outside to be accessed. I would never come back for outdoor event. Maybe it was Eventbrite who caused this but still overall dissatisfied with everything I seen.

Very well kept park

Enjoyed a beautiful day at Emancipation Park.

This place is nice and lot to do everything is in top notch shape got to see the Texans rally event there

It is di peaceful and nicely renovated.

Great. Nice exhibit of black lives lost due to police neglect.

Nobody is that the park. Thank you for reading my review on Google.

The New EP is a beautiful complex. The Best looking Landmark so far in the Third Ward Community. I totally love what the City of Houston has done. #JYFLY

Very nice park.

I have fun

Beautifully updated park! Please visit if you can! Nice clean restrooms. They also offer after school and extracurricular activities for children. I saw a weight room. Just be advised that the childrens play area is directly in the sun without any covering. My kids werent able to enjoy this feature. We had a work event here and it was great!

Great place. Good for young children. Gym was a good place to start

I love the culture!

Best park in Third Ward Third Ward Texas

I enjoyed Movies In the Tre, the food trucks and the amazing vendor!

Man they have really created something beautiful In the heart of 3rd ward. I love it!

Had a great night out with the wife, some decent crawfish, and funnel cake.

Fantastic park, heavily underutilized. I suspect it has something to do with the lack of (open) restroom facilities. Great pool, fields and play area but weirdly closed most of Saturday and all of Sunday

Nice park to take a few graduation pictures

What a welcoming community. The dog and I went there to watch an outdoor viewing of Hidden Figures (the story behind female engineers at NASA) on big screen. They had food trucks, vendors and even a guest appearance by a historical figure at one point. So happy we dropped by.

Event seating, open fields, huge audioriums, basketball courts, swimming pool, a tennis court, playgrounds, a gazebo, solid trails, lovely artwork and a top notch view.

Great park.

The park is redone and nice and lots of space...much note scenic now.

The upgrades on this park is amazing. Good place to take kids

Nice pace to visit

Favorite park.

My son is loving the summer camp here

I love all the equipment and park areas! The sitting areas are well lit and clean!

Great place for a afternoon walk..

Great place for family activities and people of all ages. It is beautiful. Free ongoing events

It was a great experience and a beautiful park.

I went to a basketball game for my son but the park is very nice and it has a pool summer time here I come

Very small park area, 80% of the park is the parking lot. Very unclean. Food plates left on multiple tables; flooded from previous days of rain.Random buildings with burglar bars in the middle of the park. Broken windshield glass at multiple parking lot spots. Sketchy areas and cars.Other than that, nice plants and trees, thats it really. My dog didnt really like it, since most of the grass was muddy.

I started using the exercise room about 3 months ago and Im very pleased with its cleanliness. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The only concern is the leg press has been out of order for almost 2 months. There are plenty of other ways to work out my legs but I like the press. It certainly doesnt stop me from doing my work out.

I WAS A VENDOR AND EVERYTHING WAS SET UP WONDERFULLY! IVE BEEN VENDING FOR YEARS AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I DIDNT HAVE TO SET UP MY OWN TENT TABLE TABLECLOTH AND CHAIRSBEAUTIFUL PARK AND CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT EVENT THERE

Quick stop at an event for a few friends and I totally enjoyed myself.

Lovely place 2 visit n enjoy out in the park. The ppl were sociable n the events are wonderful.

Great Neighborhood Friendly Establishment. Brings Value to The Entire Neighborhood

Beautifully kept grounds with rec center. So much history!

Its a beautiful place with different activity going on.it has a pool,a play ground,a gym,basket ball court, football court and many more.i love it.

Beautiful park and amenities but could have more parking.

Emancipation Park is a community center that is much needed. It provides many services to everyone. Please come and be apart of something great!! Our lifes matter
