Sam houston park, I heard about this park a lot from my friends, so as a nomad live, I always move over states. This park is so amazing, have eye catching historical pieces which is quite impressed, and best for picnic.

Pretty serene place for the most part. Nice views of the skyscrapers and old oak trees. This time not so much! It was time for the Art Car Parade! It was a great one this year. A little rain towards the end but was prepared.

Its a cool historical place. I like the hanging tree thats were they used to hang slaves before. The houses are so beautiful that you can hold back but to check every single place in Sam Houston park.

Surprisingly tranquil park nestled within the bustling city. A popular site for photographers of the structures of Houstons early days against a backdrop of the modern skyline. Old homes from different eras have been preserved in this park with placards that tell the history. An old church and also a small museum run by the historical society are also on site for a good lesson on Houstons origins.

Nice park in downtown Houston. On Sundays you cant actually go in the houses because the Heritage Society is closed but you are able to call and listen to an audio tour which is convenient. This park is also conveniently located near Buffalo Bayou Park.

Nice park but too many out of place people sleeping on the porches of the historic houses. I didnt feel totally safe. But the houses are interesting, the museum is nice, and the fountains are beautiful.

Neato place, benches, swing sets, water fountains, pond, historic buildings, beautiful old trees, pretty walkways.

Dallas can only dream to have a park as nice as the Buffalo Bayou.

Its a nice park! Compared to other parks its not that great but still is a good area! If you need some time outside and you work nearby its the perfect place to take a break.

Enjoyed great weather for the art car parade. The park was lovely that day. The concessions and vendors that were set up were very well-set-up with plenty of Room to move around.

I believe this place contains one of the first established vfws I wish this was open to the public

Small and quiet park with old houses and a small pond. It is a good place to take a walk after lunch.

Nice park. Great black historic site. Great place to walk around and jog. Sometimes too many crazy people and homeless people around though. But they arent dangerous and the police is sometimes around so its safe.

Houston had a hidden gem, excellent spot and we found both the old buildings and the local squirrel to be very lovely. It has a selection of historic buildings set on a lovely park where you can wonder around freely and enjoy. The location is very close to town making it excellent

Spent some time here listening to the history of Houston. Very interesting. You walk around the park visiting many different historical structures wile listening to prerecorded facts about the property. If you love history and would like to take a little peak into the history of Texas awesome place to start.

Went there to participate in the annual Houston AIDS walk. Grounds are always well kept and it is very easy to get too. Lots of history marked throughout the park for any history buffs. Also a beautiful place to take pictures.

Nice park with many interesting historical structures which you can view from the outside via a call in audio tour they provide...However dont count on the tour schedule they post as their volunteer guides are highly unreliable and may not show up..The 1 day we were able to be there both the morning and afternoon guides were no shows. In these cases management has no back up plans and just cancels the tours..Audio guide was too faint to be able to hear it. Disappointing. A small pond with ducks does offer some wildlife.

Great place to go and destress!! Awesome atmosphereVery alive!

Great outdoor activities! Its a must while youre in houston!

Well maintained and beautifully laid out park. Excellent for strolling, walking, running, and bicycle riding. A gem nestled within the city! Although you have highways overheard, you still feel this peacefulness while the city pulsates above. Excellent views of urban landscapes. I recommend good walking shoes.

Bruh I brok my back

A real piece of Texas history nestled in the heart of downtown. Learn about the influential families of Houstons past and see where and how they lived from passionate guides. Walk through their one of a kind old timey general store and gift shop for a walk down memory lane.

In town on a four day trip, I grabbed an uber and headed down to check out the history within Houston. Although the website stated they were open, when I arrived nobody was around and all the homes were locked. From the outside, there looks to be quite a historical artifacts with the walls that would have been worth checking out. Maybe one day I will return to Houston and attempt another experience.

Gorgeous view, cute historical houses, and loved Open House! wish it was a permanent attraction

A good historical place to educate and inform someone of the history of Houston. You can use your phone to call about each building and listen to a recorded message about each site. There are also people reenacting on occasion as well.

I was here for In Bloom music festival. Great line up, but needed cleaner johns.

GREAT INEXPENSIVE FAMILY FUN

Make you way to this park, its worth the walk especially if you are close by. Its City intended and there are usually events going on here. It makes for a great gathering location. Plus there are roughly 9 old structures move to the city park and maintain by the heritage foundation. You cant go in them unless you take one of the paid tours but you can certainly walk around them. I recommend that you make the stop to the heritage museum and take the guided tour and learn about the history of these old structures in and around the Houston downtown area.

There really isn’t much there, its a little underwhelming. The old buildings are cool but that’s about it. Not much of a park you could walk around or pretty enough to take lunch at.

This park offers a nice touch of history and greenery in an otherwise bland downtown area. Thanks to the information signboards and the restored heritage buildings, I could appreciate the history of the city and the historical significance of the park.

Effing Magical.The skyline, the art, the beautiful weather...Now is the time to be alive and Sam Houston Park is where the living happens

Good place to see on a little trip around main street, you will see also old houses in the parc (some of the oldest in Texas)

Nice place to wander through if youre nearby.

Beautiful place . My kids had fun, my mom who visited from Panama enjoyed it. We didnt ask for the guided tour around the old houses but still enjoyed looking at them and taking pics.

Houston History and nature combine in this park making it a fun experience! The park also offers amazing views of Downtown Houston!

Great views of the city hall and downtown Houston. My father really liked it.

Nice park in tribute to Sam Houston. Im an SHSU alumni and love bringing people and telling them history about him.

A slow pace in the fast city. A must see.

Awesome park in Houstons shadow, great place to go for an early morning stroll or a late afternoon jog or walking your dog, there are some historical homes and sites on grounds and its the home to Houstons yearly international festival where every year a different country is chosen to represent their culture and lifestyles.....

Beautiful and calm to walk in a sunny say. It is worth paying a visit and checking the heritage museum.

I loved this park at night, a cool picture gallery in the middle, pretty views of Houston Fidi

Beautiful place for a relaxing stroll in the city and bonus historical sites and info. We were here for the Race for the Cure and really enjoyed the place.

Always come down for the Susan G Komen walk. Great time supporting breast cancer.

Great park, camped there by the lake, great location

Great day for Pink Out 5k walk.

Love the historical buildings. Too bad they only have a very limited time for touring. Pleasant landscaping.

Nice park with great history. But police presence, I would describe as creepy. Although I believe they like this park place, I dunno felt troubble however did not have or really see any.

Amazing place and the great people

Grace Historical Park, A Little Slice of Life from the 18 hundreds onwards

Vegandale Festival was great there. Wonderful venue, right down town.

Beautiful park. The houses are a nice touch and a good tourist attraction. Lots of seating and a nice trail for a walk. Its not very big but its very close to the Buffalo Bayou trails if your looking for a longer walk

Pleasant walk-around.

A nice place to chill during a hot Houston afternoon.

Great place for downtown worker to take a lunch or after work break.

Full disclosure, I work in special events. This is a great park for a large event or a small gathering. Close to downtown so consider public transportation. Great night scene after hours. Careful after a big rainfall. Ants are out for blood.

The park is beautiful. Very beautiful. Very clean. Lots of areas for prom pics, and graduation photos. Lots of props and houses to take very nice pictures. Beautiful flowers lots of trees. Just a beautiful area.

History of Houston. Pretty cool if you want to learn about the citys history.

Went for Freedom over Texas! Hot as blazes, but comfortable & breezy on hill for 2 concerts. Jake Owen was on his game plus some, his band is insane. Lying on grassy hill for fireworks.....wow

So cute and a little pretty historical stop in a big city.

A must park to visit.Say hello to their awesome office staff.

A calm oasis in the city with benches for lunch.

Nice park in the middle of Downtown Houston. Quiet, relaxing place to visit alone or with the family. There is also a area with settings for kids. I saw wildlife (crane, turtles, ducks) in the pond area. Very scenic as you can also visit the historic society landmarks while there. Have a picnic or just read a book, but you will enjoy this park. Also be sure to visit the current Open House exhibit. I would recommend visiting.

Nice park, goes straight to the Buffalo Bayou. Some interesting signs posted.

Competed in the hot chocolate run and had great views!

BEAUTIFUL PLACE VERY CLEAN AND NICE WALKWAYS,

I love coming to this park. The houses are always fun to go see, and they have nice walking trails, a gazebo, fountain, swings, and normally a few ducks and turtles in the pond. There is normally some parking around on the nearby streets. Not unusual to see people out here taking pictures. Fun park for little ones and big ones.

Its a great little break from the office space.

Clean, comfortable to walk around and east to navigate... Thanks for a great outing!

Beautiful area. Dog parks were nice and clean but not very big. The whole park was very clean but on top of that the people there were very helpful and nice. Police were more than happy to talk to us and help us out. The music venue there seems to be a lot of fun! The lawn was well maintained and bug space

Its a nice park, great for a picnic and seeing some cool historic houston homes.

Lovely park and kids happy to play here. Hope the management will keep the place clean forever.

Was there for the Koala half marathon in October. Always good

A good place to relax from the busy downtown life.

It was a nice park, i really enjoyed to walk around with my dog, also it was very quiet so you really can walk with peace and think about the life! Definetly coming back to this park to take a nice walk again!

Veggie fest This weekend was amazing a variety of vendors and good music

Always a pleasure to visit this spacious green oasis, directly across the street from the Library and City Hall and the skyscrapers of downtown.

Beautiful park dedicated to the history and culture of Houston, taking that into context, this park is a outdoors museum, there isnt a better place for the monument of the spirit of the confederacy I dont understand why these hate groups want to remove it when it is already in a museum, surrounded by historic structures of Houston. It was designed by a Italian sculptor who worked in Washington D.C., he also designed the Galveston Texas Heroes Monument.Lets not remove a piece of art, when it is already in a museum.

Went here on field trip with a summer camp Im working with and the kids loved learning the history of the houses! Great place to learn, be in nature and its right in downtown!

Suprisingly serene as it is located on a busy street!

Great place! And the Heritage Society is the best host!

Nice quaint park with historic structures you can take an audio tour of with your phone.Big live oaks with downtown Houston in the backdrop.

Awesome park in Houstons shadow, great place to go for an early morning stroll or a late afternoon jog or walking your dog, there are some historical homes and sites on grounds and its the home to Houstons yearly international festival where every year a different country is chosen to represent their culture and lifestyles,

Oh my gosh! This place is absolutely beautiful and so fun. Great place to bring your kids on a hot summer day. Love the fact that were in the middle of downtown and can enjoy a nice clean park. Plenty of picnic tables and clean restrooms.Also they always have an event going 5++++

Beautiful park in the midst of downtown with elegant restored historic homes.

Beautiful Park In The Heart Of Downtown Houston!

Great place for downtown festivals. Parking garage is close to park.

Had a blast a Vegandale! Check out downtown Houston! This place is rad!

Tons of sight seeing. And for them joggers, myself included, there is plenty of shade as you sweat your way through its beautiful trails.️

Came here for the 4th of July Celebration and it was fantastic! Tons of people but all well organized, never felt overwhelmingly packed or chaotic.

Beautiful old homes representing the history of Houstons early people. Lots of open space and great staff. The Staiti house is probably my favorite home in the park but I think the St John church is my favorite building on the site with its simple but elegant design and functionality.

Went here on field trip with a summer camp Im working with and the kids loved learning the history of the houses!

I ran the 2018 and 2019 rodeo run here!! Cant wait to continue the tradition. Very organized!!

Nice to go for a little walk and enjoy a bit of history.Well kept.

Came for Energy Day - great family fun at a really nice park

My favorite location for evening stroll

Japanese garden is mesmerizing. Love it!

Took a walk in the heavily wooded trails on the East side of the park. Warm yes but not hot yet. Enjoyable time for the two of us. These trails are used by bicycling folks so you have to look for them and not wear earphones. Trails wander, dodging the bayou and its tributaries. Try them sometime.

Nice place with quit and calm audiences

Like it just be careful dont leave valuables showing in your car.

Nice quiet park in the middle of downtown
