Grady Park — Attraction in Houston

Grady Park used to be one of our favorite spots. Hang with the kids or walk around the track. I knew it may be the day after a big rain, but the playground shouldn't look like this. Rubber pellets wooden chips are saying should be there to cover the background. Plastic covering protruding from the ground children could trip and hurt themselves is really a hazard in such a nice place to go. That's been left in disarray. Houston parks and recreation, shame on you. This park sits in the galleria area on San Felipe, one of the highest tax districts in the city.

I reached directly out to the city of Houston Parks and rec. And they were Johnny on the spot. Thanks to Houston parks and recreation. The return email.

Your email to AskParks was forwarded to Facilities Management & Development.  Please note installation of wood chips at Grady Park Playground was completed on February 7, 2024.

Thank you,

Grady Park is a convenient little city park. It has a good walking/jogging track that seems to be a third of a mile around, has enclosed tennis courts, and several children's playgrounds. It is always well maintained and lighted at night. It serves the Galleria area community very well and is within easy walking distance from Sage Plaza, the Galleria, and many Westheimer area businesses. Couples, singles, dog walkers, and kids all frequent it, but it does not seem to be too crowded, as people come at different times. Overall it is a great stressbuster and a place to enjoy some greenery and...
