Yes, the boat launch in Memorial Park on Woodway at 610 Loop is finally open, and it\u2019s maybe the best boat launch on Buffalo Bayou in the entire city.<\/p>\n

They used our public parkland, even denying for a time that the boat launch was a boat launch, and according to some legal experts, under state law they probably should have given notice and had a Chapter 26 hearing<\/a> to change the use of our parkland like that.<\/p>\n
