Missouri City, TX Outdoor Activities

Though it was carved out of rural scrubland in 1928, the Houston Polo Club now treats humans and hooves to gripping polo matches played on rolling greens situated on the outskirts of Memorial Park. At the heart of the club's 26 lush acres is Farish Field, home to weekly polo matches held every Sunday. Whether watching the action from general-admission seating or brushing up on polo lingo from the shaded grandstand, spectators can witness all of the goals, bumps, and hooks that got horses banned from football. The club's many amenities—including restrooms and a full grill with food and catered concessions—keep spectators comfortable during the action. The Houston Polo Club also houses a polo school with lessons and leagues for spectators who want to take the field themselves, and a riding school with lessons for riders of all ages.

The Owls play their games at Reckling Park, located on campus off University Boulevard. There is no limit on Groupon purchases and seating is first come, first served.

The veteran submerged seafarers at Sea Sports Scuba can instruct any landlubber on the basics of underwater breathing in a safe, welcoming environment. At each lesson, a wise, PADI-certified instructor will dish the fundamental tenets of the dive and marine astronomy. Students will dive into the provided gear and equipment before diving into a heated indoor pool for practice. In one 60- to 120-minute session, submariners will be primed to move on to more-advanced sunken adventures and confidently curse humanoid ancestors for voting to phase out gills.
