The real Birthplace of Texas, Santa Anna surrendered right down the street at the San Jacinto monument. Don't listen to those other guys who claim the same... We caught 'em! We have Parks and recreation that anyone would be ashamed that they didn't take advantage of..... a Community Theatre that I should really look in to. We have a great dog park and regular events for the kids and family. Oh, and a beautiful golf course. One of the most beautiful public golf courses in the nation. The restaurant is currently run by a private contractor, who I think is more interested in the golf than the food (yuk) but when it was run by Jeremy, the city employee it was amazing! I hosted a wedding there, it was gorgeous! And a reception. Both events were beautiful and the food was incredible. The service was wonderful. The city should really get rid of this new contractor and beg Jeremy back. It's an amazing Spanish style building with this huge cannon in front of this long staircase. Would be perfect for all types of parties. The Deer Park High School softball team has won the State Championship in 2012 and 2014 and were finalist in 2013.. (Wikipidedia is cool! I knew we were having those parades for a reason!) Speaking of Parades, give us a reason! We like to throw candy. If our children hear a Firetruck go bye they put their little hands up ready to catch a piece! We do love a good parade! Deer Park boasts such notable sons and daughters as Andy Pettitte, retired professional baseball pitcher for the New York Yankees and The Houston Astros (his house is way cool). Chelsi Smith, Miss Universe 1995 (She came in to the Dr's office I worked at during her reign (No! I can't tell u why?!). Charles Holcolmb, Tx Judge of the Court of Criminal Appeals, 2001-2010. Also a city attorney for the city of Deer Park. (Wiki,I didn't know about him... I swear!!) Ron White, comedian attended Deer Park High School. (Don't know if he was born here but I do remember him referring to the oil refineries in his act once) So, in summation Deer Park is a cool place right next to a bunch of job creating, economy boosting,Oil refineries. Definitely don't move here..... It's only for the very brave.

I did go on a slow day that had rain and it was in the middle of the week. I was a lifeguard as a teen and definitely get how boring it can be with no one in your zone or on really slow days but there were guards not even watching the pool. The head guard did redirect once that I saw but I just decided to enjoy my time with my family and ignore that. The pool was pretty clean and the grounds didn't have much trash but the bathroom was horrendous. The urine smell hits before you even get in the door. Made me scared to even use the bathroom. Other than the lifeguards not really paying attention when no one was int their zone and the bathrooms we still had a great time. There was plenty of parking, we were able to take our own drinks and food, and enjoyed the pool.

It's part of Market Square Tower, one of the prettiest buildings in town. Not to be confused with Sarcy Mare Tower, which is when a very sassy horse owns a tall building. This is a gorgeous huge building with some of the best views in downtown Houston as far as apartments go, and you will pay a premium in terms of the price for that exact reason. It's still really good and gorgeous, and we would definitely stay here and live here if money was no object and we wanted to live downtown. I haven't been exposed to quite as much shadiness and major red flags from my investigations into living here, as with some of the very very shady properties over in Montrose and The Heights. The pool itself is second to none, it's one of the most iconic pools in the country, certainly the most amazing in Texas along with, perhaps, the Texas outline pool that is nearby. Houston is becoming known for pools now, and this SkyPool might be part of the reason why.

Now back in 2025 and I can see some improvements. They have a lot of different machines and free weights, spaces to do Gtx classes, hot yoga, cycling, morning runs, pickle ball... I mean, you pay for what you get. I love that the women have their own sauna and hot tub, and can use the coed by the pool as well. It's never so crowded that you can't get machines and the staff is actually helpful. I definitely recommend.

As we were on our way to Galveston for our week long cruise, we booked a stay in Webster to do touristy things and this lifetime was a whopping 4 min drive from our hotel. I'm impressed with the cafe, locker rooms and kids club! As usual, the amenities are consistent with our home LT in Austin, the front desk always was welcoming at 6am for me running in, getting my workout in and then leaving. I find the studio classrooms are slightly smaller but the instructor Melanie was still great at 7:30am on a Friday, I was a little jealous that this LT has amazing classes that start at 5:30am for the folks who love their early bird hours in the day and impressed to see it was waitlisted! I dropped our 5 year old for a little of the kids club and even decided if we wanted to do Parents Night out at this LT, as this one doesn't seem to have a waitlist, our Austin North location separated by age groups for the younger kids vs older kids but this LT seemed to have less enrollment which probably means all the kids get to play together. The pools were huge and I'm sure if we weren't visiting during the winter freeze, the outdoor slides and pools would be more popular! I thought it was neat to see the individual hot tubs inside the locker rooms and steam room and saunas, although my husband and I occasionally like to have our sauna time together. Overall, the floors and machines were well kept, my cafe experience for coffee, smoothies and food consistent and the fact that we could have a space to explore while we were in town was fun to boot! Normally we visit the LT sugar land location as my parents are in SW Houston so this was a treat to try something new! Thank you LT Baybrook for keeping us healthy and entertaining us on our few days in the area! :) Looking forward to returning if and when we're in the Clear Lake NASA bubble!
