We will gather underneath the Swimming Pool sign at the pool's entrance gate. It is located directly in front of two handicapped parking spaces in the parking lot that serves the Swimming Pool, Fitness Center, and playground. Here's what the meeting spot looks like:

Please read the above paragraphs carefully and check the marked map to make sure we're all in the same place. Memorial is a large park with a variety of facilities, and several members have confused other areas with our meeting spot. The Swim Center is located off to the East side on Arnot Street.

Just in case, click here for one more map you can get driving directions from. The pointer is not quite right; it should indicate the upper fork of Arnot rather than the lower.

We will head clockwise down Memorial Loop trail and cross Memorial Drive to enter the Cambodia Trail which is 3.44 miles in and out. After the Cambodia Trail, we will reenter the Memorial Loop trail and proceed back to the parking lot for a total of approximately 5 miles.

Memorial Park, which is the largest urban park in Texas, is often called the Central Park of Houston. It includes a 3-mile jogging trail, swimming pool, inline skating, cycling, and hiking. The 1, 600acre park was acquired by William C. Hogg from the U. S. government. All the wooded areas on the south side of the park are crisscrossed by trails, many of which run along Buffalo Bayou and other smaller creeks.
There are restrooms near the parking lot where you can change clothes.

Please bring water, bug repellent, and flashlights.
