HOUSTON — The Hermann Park Commons is officially open. It completes a major upgrade to the park that's been under construction for two years now.
The Commons is a 26-acre area that sits on the southwest side of Hermann Park, bordered by the Texas Medical Center and Rice University.
The park has everything from peaceful ponds with benches to slides and swings for the kids to play on. Other new features include a carousel, splash cove and space adventure.
The carousel costs $5 to ride, but all the rest of it is free.
