Stuck in stop-and-go traffic on the interstate, I was able to enjoy this park at 5 to 10 miles an hour. A surprising little bright spot in an otherwise frustrating afternoon and affectionately nicknamed "Mount Rush Hour" (like Mount Rushmore but with traffic).
The park has 18 foot tall busts of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Stephen F. Austin, and Sam Houston. (Yes, for you non-Texans, the cities of Austin and Houston are named after those last two.)
The park is operated by Harris County and these artworks by sculptor David Adickes were added in 2012. He titles them, "A Tribute to American Statesmanship."
Enjoy if you're going slow. Or if you want a better look, the park is open to the public but not directly accessible from the interstate.

So cool 😎 love this!! Finally stopped by for the geocache here.
Beautiful sculptures indeed. But the park sits in an approximate of 5000 sqft ft lot, next to a condensed residential neighborhood. I wish the sculpture would sit in a better location instead ♥️
Is not what I expected when they said "park" I feel like they just dropped this blob in some street corner, there's even an apartment building as a background which is very random. Super dissapointed.
Boring.. but the gorgeous architecture of the house next to it was very gorgeous! These sculptures were meant to be viewed quickly from the car on the highway. There's not a great place to view it from the ground it's very much so meant for fast viewing.
Always entertaining for its unique location. Backing right up to a residence, it's nearly impossible to get a good photo of the statue by itself (thus my "only" 4-stars).
It is okay just the veiw of houses behind monument is irritating lol... I believe they should place them in some park with nothing behind..
