"Lovely beautiful park with trails. Miles of trails. On the Sabine side I saw police patrolling on horseback which was nice to see. If you walk all the way through downtown paths there is a lot of historical info along the walk. Homeless can be in that area so be in alert but for the most part it's always busy!"
"Eleanor Tinsley Park is a truly remarkable oasis in the heart of downtown Houston. The park boasts breathtaking scenery that transforms every run or leisurely walk into a pleasure. Its serene ambiance provides a perfect escape, particularly when seeking relief from the pressures of daily life. The annual rodeo run adds a dynamic element, with expansive areas for sand volleyball games and numerous tents offering freebies. The beautiful bridge connecting both sides of downtown presents an opportunity to enjoy different vistas, providing ample material for photography enthusiasts. The park's vast expanse allows for extended walks and satisfying mileage, catering to various outdoor activities. Whether it's cyclists, runners, or dog walkers, the park is a hub of positive energy. The presence of lakes, charming waterfalls, and the delightful company of turtles and ducks make each visit a truly pleasant experience. Eleanor Tinsley Park stands as the epitome of a city amenity, offering a serene retreat within the bustling urban landscape. For me, it's become a favorite spot to take leisurely walks with my dogs. I highly recommend it and always find myself eager to return to this urban haven. Eleanor Tinsley Park undoubtedly ranks as one of the best city parks, providing an exceptional and rejuvenating experience for all."
"I absolutely love this park! It's an ideal spot for a picnic or a refreshing walk/run. The picturesque skyline view makes it perfect for photography. With numerous trails to explore, it's a haven for nature enthusiasts. The proximity to the skate park adds an exciting element to the surroundings. Look for the sculptures staged around the trails. What caught my eye was the charming love lock fence on the pedestrian bridge which is reminiscent of Paris' Pont des Arts. It's adorned with locks placed by H-town lovers, creating a heartwarming atmosphere. No entry fee makes it accessible to everyone. There is street parking adjacent to the park, but it gets filled quickly during weekends or events. The park is open 24 hours. Normally we visit there at night to enjoy the skyline view in its shinier state. Overall, a fantastic park with a variety of activities, stunning views, and a touch of romance. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delightful outdoor experience!"
