    Beautiful park located in the downtown. Very clean. There is a small dog park inside this park as well. You can also rent bicycle from here as well. Train station is also near by. Plenty of space for kids to play.

    This park sucks and it's too small. Also rude b*s come here. People come here to walk there dogs. There's portable restrooms here. That's about it.

    Nice place to walk to and be able to have a little bit of nature in the middle of the busy city life. A sweet escape if you just want to enjoy the waterfall area or do yoga on the large field in the middle park. Very beautiful.

    All of downtown Houston is very unique for the purpose of education, entertainment, fun, and safety... Our buildings are solid(built with the best materials) and our parks are design to fit all cultures... Mind your behavior in our city... Natives don't disrespect each other( no fighting in public)... Our lawmen really are honest and try too help the public... There's a lot of history in our city... A lot us have too(also) learn and remember that violence doesn't solve anything.

    A very cute park! Lots of open space, pretty waterfalls, and a nice walking path. The playground and pavilion are closed due to COVID, along with the public bathrooms, but there are port a potties and hand washing stations. The dog park is open. I would recommend getting some Vietnamese food from Cali Sandwich across the street and coming to eat at this park!

    Nothing too spectacular, but cool all the same. I was able to definitely chill and get my meditation on. All in all, still worthy of for stars. You're right next to the Galleria if you want to go shopping. The design setup seems to be based upon principles of positive energy flow. I'm not exactly an expert per se on that but I know there is definitely some sort of design aesthetic going along that or some sort of similar route. But still, bottom line pretty cool spot.

    Such a beautiful little hidden gem. I’ve been here with friends and on dates. You can eat here, it’s never overly busy, and even though you’re surrounded by the urban environment, it doesn’t feel that way. You can park on the street or in their underground parking, but the parking IS PAID. You can see beautiful art here, see some ducks, or maybe even watch a concert.

    WONDERFUL place of relaxation minus the officer complaining about charging electronics over 15 minutes twice already. Please give your people vacation days so that they won't be so grouchy and families can come find enjoyment at the park as meant to. :)

    Pretty park, but there was dog poop everywhere and no bags. The dog park was disgusting. The restrooms were ribbonef off.

    These projects make our city a better place. What would our city look like if we became lazy and stop trying to improve it. Let's keep going with well thought ambitious projects. This is a cool project . Let's be Houston proud.

    Not far from Leon's Lounge just around the Corner. Started raining in buckets just as about to venture out. Waited 20 minutes under cover to Search Downtown Tunnel System. Then realized proximity to Pierce elevated. SOL on that scenario. Otherwise, great location to Park Underground on a Non Events night! Was headed to Houston Film Club event! That was a blast!

    This place is awesome. There's a cool playground there for the kids.This is a good place for a large group of people to have a picnic. This park has something for everyone to enjoy.

    Food fest and live music at the pavilion. A great place to waste a fall Saturday afternoon in Houston.

  • 4/5 Leona F. 1 year ago on Google
    We attended the annual Food Festival. Bands, vendors and food trucks. You can bring your own seats for the grassy areas. There is limited concrete seating. Nice park and stage area.

  • 5/5 Ethan H. 1 year ago on Google
    I absolutely adore this dog park with adult sized play structures. There are hills, a lawn, a pavilion stage area, a nature walk through a man made bayou that filters water, and an adult sized swing set! I love the playground structures. This park is beautifully done and a lovely place to meet up, have a photo shoot, or reconnect with your inner child on the play scape.

    Hadn't been to this spot in over 25yrs, it was still nice, but I was way too many people all up on and around each other during this Pandemic. I most definitely understand why Houston is a Covid Hot spot. People were walking all upon each other and maskless like we were back in 2019.

    It didn’t take long before deciding which location would be best for a music video. Midtown park offered a variety of different scenery. It’s a really small park, not like discovery green. I will say it was not as packed and enjoyed the open space in the middle where people would dance, have picnics, and just overall great lounge spot. Looking back it’s a great spot to fly kites or walk your dog. The kids playground is closed and the security guard on duty and be a bit strict, though all in good means to keep the grounds secure I guess.

    Awesome park! Went for a great event: El Festival de la Salsa. We had a good, fun and relax time!

  • 5/5 M S. 2 years ago on Google
    Idk if many folks know about this little gem. It's a small park in Midtown Houston. It's convenient to get to, has a small amount of curb parking, a dog park, water features, a good sized open area, a stage, and a playground. It's right on the Metro rail line. The best thing about this park is the HUGE parking garage sitting next to it. We often park here, jump on the train and head to events at NRG. It's about a 20 minute ride but is cheaper and easiest. It's fairly cheap and you can prepay online. This is a cool place to just sit, read a book, get in a workout, let kids play, have a picnic, bring the dog or park to head to other locations. There are shops nearby to grab a snack as well. I highly recommend this park.

    Love this park! It’s perfect for downtown residence to get some green while in the concert city! Even has a stream river that makes you feel like your in another state!

  • 5/5 Angel T. 2 years ago on Google
    It's so nice and clean! They have easy access restrooms, a few cool spots for kids to be entertained, perfect grass areas for picnics and tables as well! They also have a little creek with a bridge and stairs to sit and listen to the water. So peaceful. Security are usually around for questions and concerns. Overall a nice compact place.
