Houston's oldest park, established 1905, in the heart of Midtown — mature live oaks, curving paths, a white obelisk park marker, and surrounding low-rise Midtown blocks.

Creator notes
What works here
The white "Baldwin Park / Midtown" obelisk marker, ringed by daylilies, is a tidy foreground. The oak canopy gives even shade for portraits all day. Quiet enough for unhurried setups.

Lighting
Dense oak canopy diffuses light all day; open spots get warm at golden hour.
