Minute Maid Park
Originally named Enron Field Minute Maid Park opened in Houston in 1999 and was renamed in 2002 for obviousreasons The ballpark seats 40963 people and has a roof that can fully retract making it the largest open area of anyretractable roofed baseball stadium
After visiting the Cockrell Butterfly Center Mason Sr and his kids relax near the Miller Outdoor Theater and play alittle football They then head over to Minute Maid Park to catch an Astros game The game a real match betweenthe Houston Astros and Milwaukee Brewers was filmed in April 2006 The cast and crew got lucky that day Then-Astros player Jason Lane hit a home run almost directly at the camera
Pedernales Falls State Park
Camp just like Mason and his Dad did surrounded by acres of pristine acreage with the winding Pedernales Riverrunning through the park Located in Johnson City the park is a favorite for family hikes and known for its mainattraction a massive rock structure dotted with clear pools and spotted with rushing waterfalls Primitive hike-in campareas and those with water and electric are both available
San Marcos
After a nasty divorce Olivia moves the family to San Marcos to start her new teaching job in 2010 The small college
town is a big change from bustling Houston Locally San Marcos is loved for its proximity to the great outdoors andthriving music scene The local universities keep it from being a sleepy small town but it retains some of that samecharm In the film Jill tellls Mason that Sheena has a crush on him outside the Texas Music Theater a popularconcert venue
Lost Pines Bastrop
The Lost Pines Forest derives its name from its location mdash an isolated 13-mile belt of loblolly pines Bastrop is oftencited as Texasrsquo most historic small town With a population just over 73000 it is a comfortable size with lots of natureadventures to offer When Olivia moves the kids to San Marcos Mason Sr has also remarried and has a baby on theway He takes Mason and Samantha to visit his wifersquos parents at their ranch in Lost Pines Bastrop where Masonshoots a gun for the first time
Big Bend Ranch State Park
Masonrsquos coming of age in ldquoBoyhoodrdquo culminates in a hike in Big Bend a national park in west Texas where curvingcanyons kiss starry skies He joins his new college friends on a trek through the park that ends with a sweetconversation about seizing the moment perhaps a nod to what is next in store for him The limestone walls hereboast nooks and crannies containing numerous fossil finds including crocodiles and dinosaurs While the park is adestination for hikers like Mason today it served as home for native people as many as 10000 years ago andfarmland in the 20th century A mine historic airfield and still active trading post give a glimpse into the lives of thehearty people who settled this unforgiving land
Austin
Most of the filming for ldquoBoyhoodrdquo took place in the capitol of Texas a thriving metropolis thatrsquos one of the fastestgrowing cities in the nation Samantha ends up in college here and Mason and Sheena come to visit and see a showat The Continental Club then like true Texans share a bowl of early-morning queso at Magnolia Cafe South
Earlier in the film the elementary school in Houston Mason reluctantly gets dropped off at after Olivia leaves herabusive husband is actually Perez Elementary School located in Austin Mason debuts his freshly shaved head inHouston but Director Richard Linklater opted to film the scene in Austinrsquos Joe Dan Mills Elementary School
Dart Bowl
