Review & FAQ:
Discovery Green is one of Houston's newest public parks, spanning nearly 12 acres near the city's Avenida Houston entertainment district. The park was designed by architectural firm Hargreaves Associates and opened to the public in April of 2008, earning LEED environmental certification the following year. The park is home to the Anheuser-Busch Stage performance venue, which showcases free concerts and films throughout the year, along with the one-acre Kinder Lake and two casual dining restaurants. Public art abounds, including a 15-foot Mist Tree interactive water sculpture. Two dog runs are also available, along with several children's playgrounds, a tree-shaded jogging trail, and a number of recreational lawn areas. Free public events held throughout the year include a performing and visual art event series, a weekly urban market, and family-friendly yoga and exercise classes.
