Readers' Choice: Hermann Park

Houston's best playgrounds — Fire Truck Park and Karl E. Young Park — are set less than two miles apart. Both have the requisite slides, swings, monkey bars and sandpits. But Fire Truck Park, located in Southside Place, has the edge thanks in part to its ultracool, kid-friendly 1935 fire truck. And it boasts an abundance of a certain something that is somehow missing from so many other local kid parks: shade. Sweet, blessed shade.
