Discovery Green

Discovery Green has become Houston’s beloved central park, transforming a sea of surface parking into one of Houston’s most vibrant urban districts. Over 400 annual programmed performances, events, and activities supplement the park’s fixed amenities, to create a multi-faceted regional destination attracting over a million annual visitors. The vitality of this park has been a major catalyst for broader downtown revitalization, with new residential, office, and hotel towers adjacent to the park representing over a billion dollars of follow-on private redevelopment.

Park amenities include a 10,000 SF restaurant, tree-shaded promenades, a great lawn for civic-scale events and active recreation, an outdoor stage and landform amphitheater for daily performances, dog runs, picnic areas, a lake with a café and water gardens, an iconic interactive water feature and adjacent playground for children, several public art works, and two acres of horticultural gardens. The 620-car underground garage is seamlessly integrated with the park.
