Skylawn, Rooftop park in Houston, United States.
Skylawn spans five acres atop POST Houston and features seven distinct gardens, open lawns, walking paths, and panoramic views of the downtown skyline and Buffalo Bayou area.
Originally part of the Barbara Jordan Post Office building, Skylawn represents the adaptive reuse of Houston's former postal headquarters into a modern cultural and recreational destination.
The park hosts concerts, art installations, community markets, and live performances, serving as a platform for local artists and fostering social connections among Houston's diverse residents.
Open Monday through Wednesday from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Thursday until 10:00 PM, and Friday through Saturday until 11:00 PM, with Sunday hours from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
Giant glowing skylights illuminate the space at night, creating an illuminated urban oasis that combines sustainable native plant gardens with modern architectural lighting installations.
