Buffalo Bayou Park/Lee and Joe Jamail Skatepark is a 160-acre green space at the western end of Houston's downtown district, developed in its current incarnation by the Buffalo Bayou Partnership and the Houston Parks and Recreation Department. The recently-renovated park is home to lush native landscaping along the banks of the slow-moving Buffalo Bayou, which can be explored via paddle craft rentals from a number of vendors. Hiking and biking trails are available for visitor use, with bike rentals also offered. The park offers two visitor centers featuring information on area attractions and ecology, along with outdoor gathering spaces and day-use picnic areas for visitors to relax and enjoy lunches and scenery. Other attractions include a prominent dog park and run, a creative nature play area, and the Lee and Joe Jamail Skatepark, which hosts internationally-renowned skateboarding competitions and events.
