Sightseeing
Terry Hershey Park is a county park that runs parallel to a roughly 6-mile stretch of the Buffalo Bayou in western Houston. I enjoy riding my bike here on Saturday mornings, people are always walking and running through the path. There is a beautiful view of the river and a fun, well-kept enclosed kid's area located inside the park.
