Elizabeth Baldwin Park is a timeless treasure, blending historical grandeur with contemporary charm. Established in 1905, this 4.8-acre City of Houston park is renowned for its majestic century-old oak trees and original fountain. Recent enhancements by the Midtown Redevelopment Authority (MRA) have revitalized this historic gem with $500,000 worth of modern upgrades, including a state-of-the-art playground and improved lighting, all while preserving its rich heritage.
The park’s new playground, completed in 2022, is suitable for children of all ages and abilities. Brightly colored surfaces and varied textures stimulate cognitive and emotional development, while swings, slides, and climbing structures provide opportunities for imaginative play and physical exercise.
Baldwin Park also serves as a vibrant community hub. It hosts diverse programming, including the monthly Soundbath Meditation class, which promotes relaxation and mindfulness. The expansive lawn and picnic areas offer ideal settings for casual gatherings, leisurely afternoons, and community events.
Elizabeth Baldwin Park is located at 1701 Elgin Street. It is open daily from 6:30 am to 11 pm
