When you need to be outside, getting your steps, taking a stroll, but it's also Texas' endless summer, don't forget this friendly green space by Onion Creek, directly south of the airport. With 2 miles of well-groomed trails looping through old pecan groves and under the century-old Moore's Crossing Bridge (that was once the Congress Avenue Bridge), you won't be alone but it won't feel crowded – a not-so-easy thing to come by in our bustling city.
