If you plan to take I-10 East to arrive at the event, we recommend taking the Jensen / Gregg St exit rather than the Waco St exit to avoid stalled trains. Once you exit the freeway at Jensen / Gregg St, turn left onto Clinton Dr and proceed to the parking entrance at 4100 Clinton Dr.
Parking fills quickly around The Water Works; arriving early ensures a stress-free start to your day.
Houston can be warm in the fall, so wear sunscreen, comfortable shoes, and don’t forget your Halloween costume!
Stay hydrated during the day with your own water bottle—refill stations are available.
Protect yourself from sun and bayou insects, especially during outdoor activities.
Buffalo Bayou Park was established in 2014 as part of Houston’s efforts to revitalize urban green spaces and protect the historic bayou corridor.
The park promotes native plant restoration and provides education on bayou ecosystem preservation efforts.
The event involves walking around the park on paved and natural surfaces.
