Hey! Did you know there is a 250-acre park east of downtown Houston open every day? It is called Gene Green All-Inclusive Park. Let us check it out!
Gene Green All-Inclusive Park spreads across 250 acres east of downtown Houston. It's free, open every day, and built with sustainability at its core — from recycled lighting to eco-friendly water systems. Everyone is welcome, including visitors of all abilities.
The park features activities and state-of-the-art equipment across a huge stretch of land. Its infrastructure — lighting, water flow, and materials — was built from recycled resources to conserve energy and reduce waste. Designated barbecue grills and camp stoves are available for cooking. A dog park area lets leashed pets roam in designated spots.
Plan your visit by arriving between 6:30 AM and 9:30 PM any day of the week. Bring your own food and use the designated grills or camp stoves for cooking. Keep pets on a leash outside the dog park area and clean up after them. Leave glass containers at home — they're not allowed in the park. If you want to bring alcoholic beverages or fireworks, you'll need a permit in advance. Park only in designated lots, and don't leave your vehicle overnight or it may be towed.
Open daily, 6:30 AM to 9:30 PM
East of downtown Houston, near U.S. Highway 90 and Beltway 8 (Sam Houston Tollway)
