    Parkwood Park - Houston Parks Week: A New Day... A New Houston Park!

    Modified: Apr 1, 2016 by Jill Jarvis · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · #sponsoredpost · 3 Comments

    Parkwood Park Sign
    Address: Parkwood Drive and Del Rio Street, Houston, Texas, 77021

    Very close to the Brays Bayou Trail is a teardrop shaped park in the middle of big old beautiful houses. It's Parkwood Park!

    This park does not have a playground... but it does have a lot of giant trees and room for a shady picnic.

    Parkwood Park
    There is no parking right next to the grassy area, but if you go a block over, you can find a spot.

    But even if you decide not to stop, it is worth a drive through this old neighborhood that is very near Hermann Park. The houses are probably 100 years old and each one that lines the park is really well maintained.

    Parkwood Park Neighborhood
    So pack a picnic or take a drive through this old Houston neighborhood. Until we went in search of the green space on the map, I had no idea this was part of Houston!

    AND, yes, THIS IS the park in the new Beyoncé Ivy Park clothing line video:

      Thanks for the info. I'm going to take my 8 year old daughter there (who's name is Ivy, btw) and show her the park where Beyonce used to exercise. Maybe it will inspire her a bit, and I'll get some points for being a cool dad. 😀
