Discovery Green
A city living room next to the convention center downtown, with lawns, a lake, fountains, and free year-round events, where you can sit down and rest at any time.
This urban park of about 5 hectares opened in 2008 on the site of a downtown parking lot and sits next to the George R. Brown Convention Center and the stadium district. The park features a lawn stage, Kirk Lake, a children's fountain, a dog run, and restaurants. On weekends it often hosts concerts, outdoor movies, and farmers' markets, and in winter an ice-skating rink is set up beside the lake. Admission is free. It is a good place to stroll before or after dinner and can be combined with a visit to the major league stadium across the way.
