Skylawn

Skylawn is a rooftop park atop POST Houston that spreads across five acres with seven distinct gardens, open lawns, and walking paths. The space overlooks downtown and the Buffalo Bayou area below.

The building below was once the Barbara Jordan Post Office headquarters and was later converted into a cultural and recreational destination. This conversion shows how Houston revived a historic structure.

The space hosts concerts, art exhibitions, and community markets where local artists display their work and visitors from across Houston gather together. Events and installations here shape the cultural rhythm of the area.

Access is easiest through the building below and most areas are reachable on foot. It helps to wear flat shoes since you will walk a lot and the paths have some elevation changes.

At night, large glowing skylights turn on, transforming the space into an illuminated setting. These lights combine with native plants and modern design to create something distinctive.
