If you’re a local, you know that the greater Houston area is massive. We’ve separated out Houston parks into inner loop (inside the 610 loop) and outer loop for those willing to drive a few extra miles to experience some nature. Parks that require paid tickets for entry or parking have the symbol “($)” next to them.
