6. Jesse H. Jones Park & Nature Center

HUMBLE.   This 275-acre park wraps around portions of Cypress and Spring Creeks and seeks to preserve the terrain as it existed in the days of Native Americans and early settlers. The park includes forest, beach, bog, and meadow ecosystems, and specimens of Gulf coast cypress and scrub brush represent southeast Texas in the wild. The park offers guided tours and holds special educational events every week. In addition, Redbud Hill Homestead and Akokisa Indian Village are set up as an ongoing historical display. A playground is available as well.   (© 10Best)
