We know, we know. We’re always speaking about how considerably we love the Houston Arboretum & Character Middle, but past the goat landscaping solutions, the arborgator, the revamped Ravine Trail, and a master strategy that’s restoring the indigenous prairie/savanna/woodland origins of this greenspace (buh-bye, invasive species) and offering new instructional programming and ordeals, there is still a different purpose to adore it: The model-new Nature Playscape.
Youngsters young and possibly even tween-ish will get a kick out of the new “pure” playground, which created its debut in May, generously supported by The Powell Basis, W.T. and Louise J. Moran Foundation, and Phillips 66, with an further in-kind contribution from ACT Pipe & Offer.


You will find a “grass climb” for children who want to stage into the footwear of prairie bugs, a lumber lawn (i.e., fallen log enjoyment time), a stump scramble, balancing bridge, and a large spider internet (eek!). Tamer areas abound as well—a wetland walk, shady grove, and water yard amongst them. Additionally, there is a “toddler territory” where little kinds can request flower exciting and sand box routines when not possessing a variety of minimal meltdowns.
The area is fenced, but parental supervision is expected. Also, remember to do not provide animals.
The Mother nature Playscape is now open from 7 a.m. to dusk and available for personal birthday bash rentals. That currently being said, it will be closed routinely for rentals on Saturday and Sunday mornings, so phone the entrance desk (713-861-8433) to ensure if it’s open up in advance of you check out.
