Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Highland Bayou Park

1991 Getty Rd

La Marque, Texas 77568

Highland Bayou Park sits in La Marque, a convenient Gulf Coast community approximately 40 miles southeast of Houston. Its bayou-side setting makes it easy to enjoy fresh air and open green space close to town.

• Parking: On-site parking is available with ample space for park visitors.
• Public Transit: Public transit options are limited — check your local transit authority for routes near La Marque.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are recommended. Designated pickup and dropoff zones are typically available near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 30–60 minutes early for Highland Bayou Park events, especially if you’ve reserved the Dick Arnett Pavilion or are coordinating a larger group. Arriving a bit early helps you secure parking near your gathering spot, set up picnic tables or BBQ gear, and settle in before guests arrive.

This is an outdoor venue, so factor in Texas heat, humidity, and the chance of occasional rain. Shade is available at the pavilion, but you’ll want water, sunscreen, and weather-appropriate clothing if you’re spending time on the lawns, sports courts, or fishing docks. If your plans include photos or a relaxed stroll, consider timing your visit around sunrise or sunset for especially scenic views of the waterways.

With mostly flat terrain and short walking distances between amenities, it’s simple to navigate with coolers, chairs, and family gear. If you’re using rideshare, set your dropoff near the main entrance or the pavilion area for an easy walk to your spot.

Venue Navigation

Highland Bayou Park is straightforward to explore. The Dick Arnett Pavilion anchors the main gathering area with power, water, Wi-Fi, and restrooms close at hand. Picnic tables and BBQ pits make setup easy, while open lawns accommodate yard games and casual seating. The park’s sports facilities include fields and courts for baseball, tennis, and basketball, and the fishing docks offer peaceful views along the water.

Concessions aren’t fixed to one spot — you’ll mostly bring your own food and use the BBQ areas — but you’ll find trash cans and water access around the pavilion. Restrooms are available near the pavilion for convenience, and the Wi-Fi there helps you coordinate with friends, share updates, or check your event details. Comfortable footwear is recommended for moving between paved paths, grassy areas, and the docks.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Bag policies vary by event — please review your event listing and check the venue's official website for the latest guidelines before you go.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Outdoor tip: Pack sunscreen, hats, and water — shade is best near the pavilion, and Texas weather can be hot and humid.
• Park-friendly idea: If you plan to grill, arrive early to claim BBQ space at the pavilion, and bring charcoal or propane as needed. Anglers can bring fishing gear for time on the docks.

Pre-Event Planning

For a relaxed day, build your plans around the Dick Arnett Pavilion — it provides electricity for small appliances, water access, Wi-Fi for quick coordination, and restrooms so your group can settle in. With 17 picnic tables, it’s ideal for birthdays, reunions, and community meetups. Arrive 30–60 minutes early to streamline setup and give your guests a clear rendezvous point.

If you’re organizing kid-friendly activities, take advantage of the sports courts and playgrounds. Set up a home base at the pavilion and rotate between games, lunch, and fishing docks. The park’s open layout makes it easy to keep an eye on your group while letting everyone enjoy their preferred activities.

Photography fans and sightseers can schedule a short window around sunrise or sunset for stunning views along the bayou. A quick walk to the docks offers peaceful water vistas — a memorable way to cap off an afternoon gathering or start an early morning event.
