Review & FAQ:
Little Thicket Park spans 10 acres near Houston's North Loop, originally acquired by the city in 1957 after land donations by Leslie Appelt and Hugh January. The park, which was originally named for the former Helberg estate land it sits on, was extensively renovated and redesigned by the Magic Circle Exchange Club in 1974, giving it its present name and layout. Today, it remains largely undeveloped as a significant urban wilderness habitat, offering opportunities for observing native bird, butterfly, and forest animal species. A significant clearing near West 23rd Street offers opportunities for more structured visitor recreation, including day-use picnic sites and a lovely nature walking trail.
