Tranquillity Park, Urban park in Downtown Houston, United States.
The park spans two blocks with water features, walkways, and landscaped mounds that create a distinctive lunar surface pattern near City Hall.
The park opened in 1979 to mark the tenth anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission's landing on the Sea of Tranquility in 1969.
Bronze plaques throughout the park display Neil Armstrong's first lunar words in fifteen different languages, connecting diverse communities through space exploration.
Downtown office workers frequent this central location between Walker and Rusk Streets for outdoor lunches and recreation near federal court buildings.
The 32-level Wortham Fountain features tall stainless steel cylinders that mirror the design of Apollo mission rocket boosters.
