  Rice Military is a section of town near Memorial Park that gets in name from a couple of sources.  One was by the nearby Camp Logan and original owns of the land Rice Family, as in William Marsh Rice who founded Rice University.  In the early 1990's the area began to attract young professionals to be closer to entertainment , bars, restaurants, and Memorial Park.  

Memorial Park is the largest park in the state of Texas, and one of the largest in the country.  It is larger than Central Park in New York.  Much of the land where the park sits was  sold by the Hogg family to the city to honor the memory of the soldiers in WWI.  Over the last two decades the park has gone through a redevelopment.  The park is filled with everything from golf courses, tennis, swimming, softball fields, polo fields, baseball, bike routes and jogging trails.  Everyday Houstonians take advantage of all the activities.  Check out the Memorial Park Conservancy website to find out more.
