Review & FAQ:

George Bush Park is a county park located within the city limits of Houston, Texas. This territory is the site of the Buffalo Bayou, a man-made bayou that creates an important watershed for the city. George Bush Park has several soccer and baseball fields, jogging and hiking trails, and fields for flying model airplanes.

Other popular activities here include geocaching and shooting at the on-site range. Visitors can cross the bayou’s water on “the Boardwalk”, a long wooden plank bridge, or enjoy an outdoor picnic in one of the park’s convenient pavilions. The extensive park includes several natural habitats, such as swampland, bayou, and forest.
