    Godwin Park is Great!

    Look at Godwin Park!

    When we point the car to a square on the map, we never really know what we will get.

    With Godwin Park, we drove down S. Rice, lined with well-kept homes and went past Kolter Elementary. Kids were running at playing at recess... and in the distance with some the park. It was big and green with new playground equipment, a community center, lighted sports fields... and a lot of families were playing here! It was the perfect park for us!

    Godwin Park Big Playground

    Godwin Park has free street parking. We parked, walked to the semi-shaded equipment and found some great features.

    And at this park, the little play structure is just as cool as the big one! This structure has a stool bridge, slides, lower monkey bars and a mesh tunnel!

    The big play structure has a rock wall climber (like at Travis), the neat iceberg climber (like at Briar Meadow) and more great ladders and slides.

    This park also has a teeter totter (one of our favorite things!).

    See more of the pictures of the park below. And to find more Houston area parks, find the Houston park map, HERE.
