Outdoor Activities in Houston to Stay Safe and Have Fun This Summer

Communities

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at July 10th, 2020

Slowly but surely, Houston has begun to reopen businesses and activities. Business owners and local Houstonians are taking every precaution possible to keep people safe. This also helps to keep our Houston community thriving. You don’t want to miss the beautiful summer sun and gorgeous natural sights because of the pandemic, but you also want to keep you and those around you safe & healthy. Businesses like us here at Chic Lash Boutique are taking every precaution to keep our clients safe, and there are ways for you to help keep others safe as well. Namely, participating in activities that allow for social distancing & reduce your risk of exposure. Outdoor activities in Houston are going to be some of the safest options for you and your family this summer. They allow for easier social distancing while getting you out into the fresh air, which is something we all missed during the more heavily quarantined periods from earlier this year. Let’s look at a few outdoor activities Houston has to offer!

The Rienzi Gardens

The Rienzi Gardens are a beautiful part of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. This part of the museum is entirely outside, consisting of beautiful natural sites and perfectly maintained gardens. These gardens are filled with local and natural plants & trees, creating the perfect Houston garden. Tours of the Rienzi Houses are also nice, but it’s up to you whether you feel comfortable entering an enclosed space as opposed to the outdoor portion of the gardens. Rienzi Gardens is working to make visiting as safe as possible. This includes mandatory social distancing, limiting guides to self-guided tours only, and online ticket sales reduce the risk of exposure while still getting to enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Learn more about hours, admission, and safety protocols for the Rienzi Gardens here.

Tom Bass Park

Tom Bass Park is one of the largest wildlife parks in the Houston area. So large, in fact, that it’s split up into three distinct “sections” each of which has amazing fun activities and amenities for you to enjoy. The large size of the park is great as it allows for easier social distancing and a lesser likelihood that you’ll be forced into close proximity with others. Besides the size and the open space, the number of things to do here seems to never end! Hiking trails, a jogging trail, plenty of areas to head out on the water, picnic benches & areas, tennis courts, a dog park, and disk golf courses are just a few of the awesome outdoor activities Houston enjoys at this park. Learn more about the park and your activity options here.

Lake Houston Wilderness Park

Located about 30 minutes from Houston’s downtown area, Lake Houston Wilderness Park is another great place to enjoy the great outdoors while reducing your risk of being close to other people. If you’re looking for activities, look no further. Swimming, hiking, jogging, picnicking, canoeing, kayaking… just name it and they probably have it. If you’re looking for a bit of a summer vacation or a couple-day trip, Lake Houston Wilderness Park also offers a variety of cabins and campsites. Fire pits, beautiful woods, and a natural setting is the perfect place for an emotional and physical reset in the safety of the great outdoors.

Drive-In Movies

After all that hiking, walking, and adventuring, sometimes all you want to do is sit back and relax with a summer blockbuster. Now you can from the comfort of your car with The Drive-In at Sawyer Yards. This establishment has been on top of updating protocols and safety regulations to keep everyone as safe as possible. You can read about those safety precautions here. Roll up in your pickup with the truck bed filled with pillows and blankets for a true Southern night. Or, roll down the windows and lounge your seats back as you smell the nighttime summer air waft in. And don’t forget to bring along your favorite summer snacks like popcorn, watermelon, and all your favorite movie treats. Make it a family activity night or a fun date night activity with your partner! You’ll get to stay outside and safely distanced from others in your car while still getting one of the classic comforts that many of us have missed.
