Houston Parks for Kids of All Abilities

by Jill Jarvis 4 Comments

Houston Park for Kids of All Abilities!

Houston has hundreds of parks… and if you include the surrounding areas, there are hundreds more. That said, not all parks are great for kids of all abilities.

Around Houston, playgrounds for kids of all abilities are usually called “boundless” or “playgrounds without limits” and texture and sensory features, ramps, bars that go all the way to the base of the structure and are accessible for everyone.

Below are the parks we know about… but if you know of more near Houston, let us know!

Houston Parks for Kids of All Abilities:

The Playground Without Limits at the Metropolitan Multi-Service Center

1475 West Gray, Houston, TX 77019

This park has unusual equipment, accessible for all ages and abilities, challenging for big kids and easy for little ones… music stations, no-mud, part shade, free parking and full restroom!

Memorial Park Playground

2. Playground at Memorial Park:

6501 Memorial Drive, Houston, Texas 77007

The Memorial playground has ramps all around, so wheelchairs can roll to the top. If there is a playground catalog, I think this would be listed under “deluxe”!

Matzke Park Spring Playground BigKidSmallCity

5. Matzke Park:

13110 Jones Rd, Houston, TX 77070

The main play structure is barrier-free so all abilities can use the ramps and play on the equipment. And this also means the side bars go all the way to the bridges and platforms, so little ones can’t slip off when running across the bridges.

6. League City Boundless Playground:

200 N Park Ave, League City, TX 77573

8. Angel Park:

2310 Atascocita Road, Humble, TX 77396

The playground is on a rubber mat (so there is no mulch) and ramps let all kids use the equipment. The playground also has some very unique features like ladder bridges, balance beam, boulders, slides, monkey bars, rings and more.

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!
