This is hardly a park. Just drive by and see the presidents heads is really all you can do here. No parking. No playground or restrooms, or picnic area.

Stuck in stop-and-go traffic on the interstate, I was able to enjoy this park at 5 to 10 miles an hour. A surprising little bright spot in an otherwise frustrating afternoon and affectionately nicknamed Mount Rush Hour (like Mount Rushmore but with traffic). The park has 18 foot tall busts of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Stephen F. Austin, and Sam Houston. (Yes, for you non-Texans, the cities of Austin and Houston are named after those last two.) The park is operated by Harris County and these artworks by sculptor David Adickes were added in 2012. He titles them, A Tribute to American Statesmanship. Enjoy if youre going slow. Or if you want a better look, the park is open to the public but not directly accessible from the interstate.

Beautiful sculptures indeed. But the park sits in an approximate of 5000 sqft ft lot, next to a condensed residential neighborhood. I wish the sculpture would sit in a better location instead

Is not what I expected when they said park I feel like they just dropped this blob in some street corner, theres even an apartment building as a background which is very random. Super dissapointed.

Boring.. but the gorgeous architecture of the house next to it was very gorgeous! These sculptures were meant to be viewed quickly from the car on the highway. Theres not a great place to view it from the ground its very much so meant for fast viewing.

You can still see the steps and the foundation of the church that was previously there before the American Statesmanship Park was erected. My father and his cousin built that church and my father is still living. PRAISE GOD

A wonderful little park with oversized busts of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin. Great place for a quick visit and some selfies. You can also take great photos of the downtown skyline. Please like this review and follow me on Google for the next round of HONEST and UNBIASED reviews.

This is a fun little spot that isnt well known around town. It is a small park, well more of a side of the road mini attraction where the heads of four US presidents are. You can almost see the busts from I45 but you have to just detour to really see it. Great spot to take visitors or even locals who may not know about these.
