Houston's Peppermint Park at the Gulfgate Shopping Center

As a kid in the southern suburbs of Houston in the 60s and 70s, you typically had to truck closer into the city for birthday party places. One of the closer options early on was Peppermint Park at the Gulfgate Shopping Center, with its red and white striped warehouse roof. The big building also offered a bit of shade in the brutal summers.

Thanks to Michelle for the photos of her birthday party!










(Neither of these mentions which Peppermint Park in Houston these were shot at, since there were at least two others in operation.)
