Discovery Green, Urban park in downtown Houston, United States.
Discovery Green spans across 12 acres, featuring a central lake, multiple recreational lawns, gardens, and walking paths throughout the landscaped grounds.
The park emerged from a 125-million-dollar initiative in 2008, transforming former parking lots into a central gathering space for downtown Houston residents.
The park displays permanent art installations, including sculptures by Jean Dubuffet and Margo Sawyer, while offering regular outdoor performances near Anheuser-Busch Stage.
Located between La Branch Street and Avenida de las Americas, the park remains open daily with free entry and multiple parking options nearby.
The Brown Foundation Promenade contains a collection of mature live oak trees that create natural pathways through different sections of the park.
