Sports and Recreation

Houston [1] is home to several professional sports franchises as well as myriad opportunities for year-round outdoor activities including golf, hiking, and biking. Pro sports teams are the big draw, especially since so many Houston residents are transplants from other parts of the country in search of opportunities to see their hometown heroes on the field.

Natives have had reason to jump on the bandwagon for several sports, most notably the Astros [2] baseball team and Rockets [2] basketball squad, both with post-season appearances in the past decade.
