Rice Military / Washington Corridor

Sandwiched between downtown Houston and Memorial Park just south of I-10 and the Houston Heights, Rice Military puts you at the epicenter of all the urban excitement and within walking distance to two of Houston’s most sprawling green spaces where you can escape from it all. First, there’s Memorial Park. At 1,466 acres, Memorial Park is not only Houston’s largest park but it’s one of the largest urban parks in the entire U.S. It boasts more than 30 miles of multi-use trails, a public PGA golf course, pools, playgrounds, tennis courts, croquet courts, indoor fitness facilities, and picnic areas. Or if you want a fantastic city skyline view to accompany your time outdoors, there’s Buffalo Bayou Park. At 160 acres, this recently revitalized beauty gives you a dog park, skate park, sand volleyball courts, and trails that run directly into downtown.
