The land that it occupies was presented to the City of Houston by George H. Hermann in 1914.This historic 445acre park space is home to numerous cultural institutions including the Houston Zoo, Houston Garden Center, Miller Outdoor Theatre, Houston Museum of Natural Science, and the Hermann Park Golf Course, which was one of the earliest desegregated public golf courses in the United States in 1954.

On a beautiful Columbus Day or National Indigenous Day afternoon, my family and I decided to take a stroll through Hermann Park, one of Houston's most beloved green spaces. The weather was cool and comfortable, perfect for a leisurely walk. As we entered the park, we were immediately struck by the lush greenery and vibrant colors of the fall foliage. The trees were ablaze with oranges, reds, and yellows, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of flowers. We wandered aimlessly through the park, taking in all the sights and sounds. We passed by families picnicking on the grass, couples strolling hand-in-hand, and children playing on the playground. We also saw a variety of wildlife, including squirrels, birds, and even a family of ducks swimming in the pond. We continued our stroll, and soon we came to the Japanese Garden. This serene garden is a popular spot for visitors of all ages. We spent some time wandering through the winding paths, admiring the koi fish swimming in the ponds, and enjoying the tranquil atmosphere. After leaving the Japanese Garden, we headed to the Miller Outdoor Theatre. This outdoor amphitheater hosts a variety of performances throughout the year, including concerts, plays, and dance recitals. After a while, we decided it was time to head home. We had spent a wonderful afternoon exploring Hermann Park and enjoying the beautiful weather. We can't wait to go back again soon! Glad to have brought my family and had a great time at Hermann Park. It's a beautiful place to visit, especially in the fall. I'm sure anyone will make many happy memories there in the years to come.
My wife and I were just in town and looking for something to do. We heard about Hermann Park, so we decided to check it out. Even though there are several parking lots, parking was difficult. We had to cruise around for a few minutes before finally getting a spot in Parking Lot G, just outside the entrance to the Houston Zoo. Parking was free though in this lot, which was a plus. We were amazed by how huge the park is! It's over 400 acres, so there's plenty to see and do. Upon visiting it, I wasn't surprised to learn the park is one of the largest urban parks in the United States. We only came to the park to kill a little time, so we didn't opt to go to the zoo. We mostly just walked around McGovern Lake. It was very hot, but there were some shady spots while walking around. The lake was very beautiful, and my wife loved the odd-looking ducks and turtles. While walking around the lake, we passed by the Pioneer Memorial Obelisk, which was very beautiful. It's a 90-foot obelisk dedicated to the pioneers who settled in Houston. We also saw the Japanese Garden, which is a great place to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. The plants, trees, and lush gardens at the Japanese Garden were gorgeous. We were only at the park for an hour, but it was still a beautiful and enjoyable experience. We would advise coming early in the day, especially in the summer as the park seems to get really busy, but we definitely recommend Hermann Park to anyone looking for a place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of the city.
Huge park... I walked around most of it. Went through the Japanese garden. It was nice. There was a big reflection pool with a pond at the end or it to rent pedal boats. I didn't go there although I saw it. Also there is a child's train that goes along the outer perimeter that I'm not sure where to buy the tickets for. Plus it's next to the museum of natural science. So plan it right and kill two things same day. Dog-friendliness: Not a "dog park" that I saw. But leashed are welcome
Beautiful park. I only got to see a small part during my but it was beautiful and well maintained. I made use of the shaded pathways to make walking more tolerable in the summer heat. The little train going around the park looked like fun for the family.
August 2023: Hermann Park is a Houston gem and love coming here to walk around, visit museums, and the Houston Zoo. It’s always clean, green with beautiful landscaping. The fountains add elegance and art pieces can be found. I always found it as a safe place.
Great location, clean and green walking area with a beautiful lake. It’s so fun walking around. It has a huge area to play with friends and nice small hill to sit and joy.
It was great. The park was well maintained, very clean, and had awesome walking paths. I specifically went to the Japanese gardens, However, there are many pools and fountains throughout the park. As I walked through the park, many shared my opinion as they used it as a place to recharge by having picnics and just chilling with their kids. There is also the option of using little pedal drive boats to sail around the lake there. Playground: There is an awsome play area with water geysers at four sections of the park which kids love to play in. Restrooms: Restrooms are at the entrance of the Japanese gardens. Dog-friendliness: Dogs are allowed throughout the park.
Decent park to hang out at, room for improvement in terms of how well the park is maintained. Japanese garden is quite nice as well.
Beautiful park with lots of trees, walking paths , shade , benches and water features such as a reflection pool , pond, fountains and waterfalls . We went after 7 pm and the weather was balmy and breezy . The Sam Houston statue and small obelisk at the end of the reflection pool gave a DC vibe. I enjoyed seeing all the ducks, turtles , squirrels and other aquatic birds .
Went on a weekday afternoon in the summer. Lots of families out an about. Parking is tricky, but in the afternoon you can find a few spots nearest the zoo entrance. Fun place to take kids to do the train and walk along the water.
