Situated in the heart of Houston—on 16.24 acres between Waugh and Memorial— Spotts Park remains a popular outdoor destination for visitors of all ages and abilities.
The park, which was acquired by the City of Houston in 1980, lies in a natural bowl just west of downtown. The multi-use space makes room for basketball and volleyball courts, children’s playground, walking trails and a picnic area. There are also convenient benches, trash cans and drinking fountains.
A short distance from downtown, head there on a quiet afternoon to enjoy lunch or jog the trail.
