Hermann Park, Public park in Houston, United States
Hermann Park occupies 445 acres at the southern end of the Museum District, featuring walking trails, lakes, gardens, and recreational facilities.
George Hermann donated the land to Houston in 1914, establishing one of the first major public green spaces in the growing Texas metropolis.
The park includes several institutions such as the Houston Zoo, Miller Outdoor Theatre, and the Houston Museum of Natural Science within its boundaries.
Visitors can reach Hermann Park via the METRORail Red Line at Hermann Park/Rice University station, with parking available near major attractions.
