Eleanor Tinsley Park

Park is always lovely and filled with so much activity. Folks havin picnics, playing football, rugby, they have a sand volleyball court. There’s a company that sets up these lovely picnic in the park deal and a great place to plan activities with big groups. The trails are nice and very long so you will definitely get your steps in. There is a playground and a skate park in the area. Parking is where you can find it and they have the kiosk to pay. Bring your mats or chairs if you plan on spending the day out there and something to provide shade and your water bottles. Beautiful place to spend the day.

We came with friends to ride bike and it was a great time! Despite our lack of athleticism we had lots of fun. We went around 7 and there were lots of people out. The bike riding path was a little tricky to maneuver because of all the walking people. The trails had beautiful views of the city and lots of places to stop and get a cute selfie.

This park is amazing!! Came in the evening for a picnic dinner and it was great. Parking can kinda be a hassle but we were able to get a spot many rows down. Parking cost a $1 for 3 hours. They do have someone going around checking license plates. Pay at the meter, need to input license number fyi. Park has many young and old faces some on roller skates, scooters, and many just walking and running. Nice walk along the bayou and even some sculptures on the paths. Trash and recycling bins located along as well. There is a road that goes along and can get loud at rush hour but all in all just a peaceful place to relax and see what nature and our beautiful city has to offer. I hope to come back soon :

My favorite place in all of Buffalo Bayou Park! There's a huge grassy area, a volleyball court, a pavilion, and fantastic views of downtown. It's such a nice place to hang out, or play volleyball, or picnic, or play Frisbee, or take pictures! I even saw a couple get engaged here. You should stop for sure!

By day this place is always crowdy. But come at night, and this place provides you a peaceful abode to have conversations with yourself. The calm night and beautiful skyline is an added bonus. I always love to just sit here at night. You can bike around too if you want. And it's quite safe around here. Have stayed till almost 2 A.M here and didn't see any problem

One of my absolute favorite parks! I always enjoy the trails and the beautiful sceneries of the city of Houston! There’s always people around. If you go later in the evenings it’s always well lit up. I enjoy walking and riding my bike with the family.

Awesome public space. Very lively at night when it’s warm. Great spot and plenty of open space for families or anyone to play soccer/volleyball/spike ball/football or picnic. Parking can be challenging if you don’t live close by. I like to ride my bike around the area or have my dog pull me on a skateboard, trails are fairly smooth. If you’re planning to visit the area definitely visit this park.

Beautiful park in the heart of Houston! Paddle boats, train rides, a restaurant. Lots of beautiful photo opportunities. Most of the museums are adjacent to this park. What a treasure. JR

As a photographer, I love coming here to this beautiful park in the heart of Houston. The grounds are lovely with all different views, including a jaw-dropping view of the Houston Downtown skyline. This park is one of my go-to spots for engagement sessions and family portraits!

Clean. Expanse. Well maintained. And beautiful views of downtown. We parked on the parking areas for $1 for three hours and took the stroller down the trail to have a picnic. My LO had a great time running on the grassy hills.
