Marvin Taylor Exercise Trail — Attraction in Houston

I've been exercising on this track for 25+ yrs...had the pleasure to sit & talk with Mr Marvin Taylor...(this exercise trail) was named in his honor, during his lifetime. The track has less traffic, during the week days,prior to 2:00 pm.Very nice track,well maintained. Having a law enforcement background, I'm not aware of any "substantial" criminal activity here. Update: Sept 2023......Even though this exercise track/trail is 24 hrs & reasonably lighted, I would strongly suggest,not to exercise "alone" due to the "likelihood " of crime.

First time walking this trail. Didn't know it existed or that there's a golf course on Hermann Park.

On a weekday evening at 5 pm, you'll find a mix of runners, walkers, bicyclists, couples with strollers, and folks walking their dogs.

A good portion of it is shaded (80%), which is nice when the sun is out. You might spot ducks and squirrels.

Completed the loop trail with walking only...

This has been my go to place for my daily COVID-19 outting... shaded paths that make for a better run/walk during the Texas sun... Not so crowed early in the day compared to after work hours... Maka sure to wear a pair of tennis shoes you don't mind getting dirty.... Two mile trail around the park... Beautiful views along...
