Charlton Park is an 8.73-acre public park space in Houston's Park Place community, located along the beautiful banks of Sims Bayou. The park's first five acres were developed during the city's early days at the turn of the 20th century, known as a popular destination for Sunday picnics and accessible via the city's Interurban rail line. After Park Place's incorporation into the City of Houston in 1926, the park was redeveloped as a city park in 1931 and named in honor of former Park Place mayor George Charlton. Tennis courts are offered at the park, along with a delightful community center and basketball pavilion. Children's playgrounds draw youngsters of all ages for climbing, swinging, and other safe play experiences. Across from the park, visitors can hit the links at Glenbrook Golf Course or explore the Sims Bayou Nature Center, operated by the Houston Audubon Society.
