Travis Park (The Spark Park with the Dinosaur Bones)

by Jill Jarvis 3 Comments

As far as Houston Spark Parks go, this has to be one of the best… it’s Travis Park!

This park is in a nice Heights neighborhood and has a challenging play structure, rock wall, sandbox, fitness center, spinning center… and dinosaur bones! (Update: See the latest pictures HERE!)

Want to know how this park got so cool? The kids designed it! Go HERE for the story.

The Spark Park Program develops school parks into neighborhood parks as a way to increase green space in Houston. Travis Spark Park gates open after school activities end and throughout weekends, holidays, and summer months for everyone to enjoy.

Travis Spark Park Playstructure

Free street parking is available and the gates should be open when school is not in session.

Last time we visited, we had to walk about to find an opening… but it was the gate by the blue traditional play structure that was unlocked.

Once inside, the kids could have played all day. The playground has lots of ladders and challenging structures. And next door is a rock wall and giant dinosaur bones!

In the corner, there are spinning structures… some you stand on, some you sit in… and all make you dizzy.

In the other corner, there are fitness stations for young Ninja Warriors.

All in all, Travis Park is a really good park. The playground is fully fenced so the kids stay inside, but it’s low so neighbors can help keep an eye on the park. There are no restrooms, so plan ahead.

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!
