Terry Hershey Park offers 10 plus miles of hike and bike trails along Buffalo Bayou, which provide a nature retreat within west Houston’s bustling “Energy Corridor.” The park spans 500 acres, the majority of which consists of a network of walking/biking trails that run parallel to a stretch of Buffalo Bayou from Highway-6 to Beltway-8 in west Houston. Over 40 different neighborhoods border the park on both the north and south side of the bayou. The park is a popular destination for these local neighborhood residents and is also widely used by visitors from the surrounding Houston area.
