There is a new park in Houston. This park is not your typical run of the mill park with slides and swings- in fact there are no swings but there are a few slides. The park is somewhat "upscale" (if a park can be described as such) and nestled in the heart of downtown across from the George R. Brown convention center and surrounded by Minute Maid Park, The Hilton Americas hotel, a plethora of high rise luxury buildings, and the Toyota Center.
The park has a jungle gym play area, manicured lawns, splash pad, dog runs, concert stage, grassy knoll, mini lake to run (and rent) remote controlled boats, and two restaurants. One restaurant is just for snacks- burgers and fries but the other "The Grove" is tres chic. Very upscale atmosphere. We took our son to play in
the park yesterday and joined friends for dinner last night. I recommend the salmon and chile-lime corn. The only draw back is that the restaurant closes at 11:00pm. While we were sitting at the bar last night a fireworks show erupted. It was really nice.
Not many people know about this gem since it just opened in April. I really hope it stays nice, clean and classy. Because it's a free park that's centrally located anyone has access and we witnessed people allowing their kids to run up the slide and block the water holes (there was a BIG sign that said NOT to do this). You know some folks just don't care about keeping things nice but hopefully Discovery Green will continue to shine.
