Discovery Green

Whether you want to be productive or just kick back, surrender to the charms of Discovery Green, a 12-acre park in downtown just across from the George R. Brown Convention Center. It features sculpted gardens, public art pieces, amphitheater, fenced dog runs, small lake, weekly farmers' market, free exercise classes, two restaurant concepts from Schiller/Del Grande (the spacious upscale The Grove, with roof bar Tree House, and the gourmet burger outpost, The Lake House), free Wi-Fi access, a concert and movie series, a Houston Public Library satellite and a children’s playground complete with water features for cooling off on a hot day. With so much to offer, the beauty of Discovery Green is you can do as much or as little as you want.
