Hogg Park - Park in Houston - 2101 South St, USA

We tried to find the entrance to this park with no success. The GPS took us behind some houses and told us to walk from there. I happened to see the Leonel Castillo building and decided to check it out. It seems like it may be one of the entrances to the trails. We parked there to enjoy a few minutes of the sunset.

Located at the beginning of Wescott street it's easy to find. We use it as a gathering point for cycling down to the Buffalo Bayou trail. This park has lots of parking, It's a little secluded and close a few eateries. Not the best pics but it's what I had...entrance and the bridge to the gardens.

Hogg Park is the gateway to the White Oak Bayou trail for the Historic Near Northside neighborhood. This park isn’t big but it’s a lovely access point to the Bayou paths with an incredible view of the downtown skyline and plenty of free parking behind the community center. Depending the time of year, the wildflowers along this stretch are stunning (usually late April into May). There really isn’t an easier place to park to bike either downtime to the Buffalo Bayou paths, the Heights or further up white Oak Bayou. We love having this park just outside our door, our dogs do too.

Nice clean park. The view of the city is amazing!

Open space with wildflowers along White Oak Bayou with walking / biking trail. Great views of downtown.

A mix of concrete and nature that one only seems to find in the USA, great place for a walk.

Can't tell where the park begins or ends but the scenery is spectacular nonetheless.

This is less a park, and more a curly sidewalk with a few pieces of artwork and wildflowers planted by volunteers a few times a year. Its one of the few methods to enter a series of building-free urban areas deemed as "parks." Hogg parks boundaries are difficult to detail, but its just a small hill that requires plants to keep from eroding and some group does so to keep it nice. Speaking specifically about this park, it is upkept, has decent parking, its safe, a little hard to find and has a young children park area which is neat. I often see families in the grass, enjoying a pick nick as I bike down the curvy path to the other series of parks and do some fishing or biking. In the surounding parks, I enjoy looking into the landscape where the city bulldozes homeless camps into the ground and lets their belongings compost into the brick-filled soil. The several mile string of interconnected parks are deemed an uninhabitable area of Houston due to flooding, so the city threw in a sidewalk, some grass, and works fairly hard to keep campers and homeless away so the rich can walk and enjoy the wee bit of available nature in an otherwise concrete jungle of trash that steadily flows into the park areas water system. Fortunately, Hogg Park itself does not contribute much to that trashy system, but it does lead there. I figure the area will get nicer and nicer as the rich begin to push out the working class and jack up property taxes, which in turn make this side of Northside nicer.
