Review & FAQ:
Keith-Wiess Park is a gorgeous 500-acre park that serves as a flood control project for the Hall's Bayou watershed, re-landscaped following the damage done by 2001's Tropical Storm Allison. The pine-tree-lined park was originally deeded to the city by James and Margaret Elkins in 1979, located on the site of the former Barry's Dairy Farm, which was used for bootlegging during Prohibition. 170 acres of the park are set aside for recreation, offering baseball, soccer, tennis, and basketball courts and a variety of day-use picnic sites. Visitors can hike along paths around 111 acres of stormwater detention ponds, which are developing new ecosystems after land reclamation. Other amenities include a large multi-use pavilion and meandering sidewalks and pathways for walkers and joggers.
