Discovery Green is a vibrant 12-acre park in the heart of downtown Houston that provides the public with a beautiful outdoor space in which to relax and participate various outdoor activities. Together, the City of Houston and the non-profit Discovery Green Conservancy opened the park in 2008. Today, Discovery Green presents a variety of dynamic programs, workshops, and events throughout the year that are free and open to the public.

Situated on the north side of the lake is Kinder Lake, where people can enjoy kayaking and stand up paddling lessons, remote controlled boating, and ice-skating during the winter. The park is also home to a nice sized playground for whimsical young children, the Fondren Performance Space, and the Anheuser-Busch Stage, features that offer live music and shows, a putting green, shuffleboard and boules court, and a jogging trail for fitness fundis.
