Parks & Nature
Hermann Park is a expansive urban green space that serves as a community bonding place. Surrounded by Rice University and The Museum of Natural History, my favorite part of the park is the Japanese Garden. Recently renovated, it boasts authentic landscape architecture to create one of the most peaceful places in Houston.
