Terry Hershey Park is a county park that runs parallel to a roughly 6mi stretch of the Buffalo Bayou in western Houston, Texas. The park is named after Terry Hershey, a conservationist who campaigned to keep the banks of Buffalo Bayou from being paved. The park hosts a network of trails that run along the bayou from State Highway 6 to the Sam Houston Tollway and is a popular destination for local residents, runners, bicyclists and Geocachers.Bike trailsThe park maintains a network of both paved asphalt paths and dirt trails along the bayou. The paved walkways are located in the cleared stretch of the park, free of trees, and are about 10 feet in width. The dirt trails, however, cut through the densely grown forest growing along the bayou, and are not easily accessible.The park promotes its signature bike trails, the "Anthills", on its website.Neighborhoods along the parkNeighborhoods are listed from east to west.| width="30%" align="left" valign="top" style="border:0"| Bordering the park to the north: Memorial Bend Memorial Glen Gaywood Memorial Trails Wilchester Wilchester West Yorkshire Woodbend in Memorial River Forest Memorial Drive Acres Nottingham Forest Ashford Forest Westchester Park on Memorial Apartments Turkey Creek Townhomes Meadows on Memorial Thornwood Promenade Memorial Village on Memorial Townhomes Memorial Thicket Marywood Oaks of Fleetwood Townhomes Fleetwood| width="30%" align="left" valign="top" style="border:0"| Bordering the park to the south: Briargrove Park Creekstone Apartments Walnut Bend Lakewood Forest Lakeside Place Apartments Epernay Woods of Lakeside Heathwood Ashford Forest Ashford Lakes Apartments Wildwood Cluster Homes Shepherd Trace Provident Oaks Lake at Stonehenge Briarforest Parkway Village Oaks of Parkway Briar Hills
