Hermann Park
6001 Fannin St
Houston, TX, 77004
You've had one of those weeks ... non-stop aggravation on the job, never-ending traffic, an insignificant spat with your highly significant other, and your new roommate's newly unveiled passion for blaringly loud opera. You've got to get out of the apartment, get some space, and clear your head. Soon you are at Hermann Park, where relaxation seems practically woven into the manicured lawn, letting the warm Houston breeze blow your cares off somewhere, anywhere, but here. Gifted to the city in 1914 by George Hermann, the 445-acre spread has undergone jaw-dropping revitalization in the past decade. Houston has donated almost 33 million dollars and 14,000 man-hours in order to bring the park's glory to current fruition, and the layout is truly a sight to behold. The neighboring Miller Outdoor Theater is highlighted by a grinning statue of Oliver Twist, and both drama and mischievous children are never far behind, while the Japanese gardens are serene and ornate, providing plenty of opportunity for you to sit and count the Koi fish swimming in the various manmade ponds. Activities are limited to bring-your-own Frisbee action or a pedal boat trip around McGovern Lake; Hermann Park is designed primarily for animal watching (birds, rabbits and the occasional turtle are common sights), book reading (that spot under the old tree is calling your name), and overall downtime (Tai Chi is even offered every Tuesday and Thursday at 7a.m. to help with your inner zen). Hermann Park offers serenity in spades, and besides - when was the last time someone told you to go fly a kite and you took them up on the offer?
