Memorial Park is Houston’s emerald: its 1,464 acres encompass nature trails, a golf course, a swimming pool, a fitness center, sports fields, gardens and more. It’s also one of the largest urban parks in the nation, stretching 1.74 miles East-West and 1.6 miles North-South. And since we’re SpareFoot and these are the kinds of things we think about, we have to mention that you’d need 317,813 10 x 20 storage units to store it. And since 10 x 20 storage units in Houston come at an average price of $179, you’d be spending $56,888,527 a month in rental fees to store Memorial Park.

But to give you a better feel for Memorial Park’s size, we’ve decided to visualize it. we used mapping software to create an outline of Memorial Park, which we could then move anywhere on the globe. This software accounted for 2D mapping projection distortions, so the outline’s size is accurate at any latitude. As you’re about to see, Memorial Park would take huge bites out of other cities: it would encompass all of downtown Boston, a huge chunk of Paris and the entirety of Monaco.
