Godwin Park is Great!

by Jill Jarvis 1 Comment

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.

    A bonus to this park is generally after 12 pm on weekdays the community center has clean bathrooms available!

jill-jarvis-bigkidsmallcity-circle-300 Welcome!  JillBJarvis.com is the go-to blog for things to do in Houston with kids!  It is upbeat and dedicated to making our big city feel small.   START HERE!    

On this website you will find a full list of Houston weekly events, things to do around the city, travel ideas and resources for parents.

I know just what it’s like to be overwhelmed by work, life and family. I spent a lot of years traveling for work, missing big milestones for my kids and feeling bad about everything.

I started this website to make a list of all the events happening around Houston and then pick one to enjoy with my kids. And instead of thinking of all the things I was missing, I started to enjoy the things we were doing together.

If you are a parent that is feeling overwhelmed by all the things you could be doing in Houston… please just use our weekly lists and daily posts as suggestions. Pick one thing to do with your family and intentionally ignore the rest!
