Discovery Green, Urban park in downtown Houston, United States.
Discovery Green is an urban park in downtown Houston featuring a central lake, recreational lawns, gardens, and walking paths across its grounds. The space combines water features and landscaping to create distinct areas for strolling and gathering.
The park was created in 2008 through a major development initiative transforming downtown Houston. The conversion of parking lots into this green space reshaped how the downtown area is used today.
The park hosts regular art installations and outdoor performances throughout the year. These events draw people from different parts of the city together to share public experiences.
The park is located between La Branch Street and Avenida de las Americas and is open daily. Multiple parking options are available nearby, making it easy to reach by car.
The Brown Foundation Promenade is lined with mature live oak trees that form natural passages through different sections. These trees provide shade and define the character of various park areas.
