Parking at Memorial Park
Parking at Memorial Park has been difficult due to construction, and may continue to be difficult with every runner in town starting their marathon and half-marathon training at the end of the summer, and everyone wanting to get outside and blow off some Covid-19 steam.
When we run together as a group, please arrive early to secure a spot and make it to our meeting place on time, and check a map of the park to see how far you will be from our meeting place.
Currently no parking due to construction:
Picnic Loop Lane
Parking lots with meters ($1 for 3 hours):
Tennis Center
Golf Course/Beck’s Prime
Eastern Glades (tons of spaces here)
Swimming Pool / Fitness Center
To make parking in the paid lots as easy as possible, download the ParkHouston ParkMobile app now (Apple and Android) and create an account. Once you do that, it's very easy to park at the meters using your mobile phone. You can always use a credit card or cash at the meters, but the app is much faster.
