From parks to pools, Houston is brimming with gorgeous outdoor space to stretch out and relax safely. Cool off at a rooftop pool and sip a frozen beverage, practice yoga at Discovery Green, or bike down Buffalo Bayou. After a day at the Museum District, picnic at Hermann Park. More parks and outdoor recommendations can be found here.
