Is anyone here familiar with the Port of Houston?

Brooke Wilde's Avatar
A few weeks ago I took my toddler on the Port of Houston boat tour and after we went under 610, there was a park on the right where people were hanging out and watching the boats go by and just doing normal park stuff ...

Does anyone know the name of this park or what I am talking about?

I have googled it and searched parks on the cities website, but could not find anything. I'd love to know so I can take my little one there.

Or even anywhere where we can park and hang out and watch the cranes and ships and so forth?

Thanks in advance!

Might be Brady Island, Brady's Landing has a patio area where you can hang out & watch the ship channel.

Another cool site is to take him for a ride through the Washburn tunnel.
Could be hidalgo park?
To the east is the park area around the battleship.....plus a restaurant, parking area, breakers right at the south landing of the Lynchburg ferry.
Brooke...I don't know of any parks near 610 on the water but like the one person mentioned....You might want to go to Brady's Island. There used to be two restaurants there but now I think it's just one. I think you can park and take a walk around the one that used to be called Shanghai Red's (the one that is closed).
If I remember correctly there was a walkway around the west side of the building that gave you access down to the water.

I wouldn't go there at night.

I wonder If Ms Brooke saw the park under the Fred Hartman bridge in Baytown? I do not know how far the boat tour proceeds on the channel!?
and what about the tollway bridge?

it would look more like the 610 bridge.

btw....where is that whore....BeeDub....dropping questions and running off.

If you're talking about across the bayou from where you got on the tour boat that's Hidalgo park.

Thank for all the replies, after doing some digging, I don't think it can be Hidalgo park because that is before 610 when on the boat tour.

This park was on the right side of the water, it came up about 5 minutes after we went under 610 (going towards Galena park). I think I'll just have to take the boat tour again and pay better attention once we past under 610.

Could also be Buffalo Bend Nature Park which is right there by Hidalgo Park. I would assume either would be a pretty rough place for u and the little one to go alone
