Value proposition

To provide an uncommonly beautiful, urban green space in the heart of Houston that serves as a village green

Discovery Green, a 12-acre park located at 1500 McKinney in Downtown Houston, was created by a public-private partnership between the City of Houston and the non-profit Discovery Green Conservancy.

Located across the street from George R. Brown Convention Center, the park has two stages, major public art works, a one-acre lake, gardens, open green spaces, two restaurants, a promenade, a play area, open fountains, a dog run, and ample outdoor seating. More than 700 free events from small exercise classes to large concerts and community festivals will take place at Discovery Green this year, attracting more than 1.5 million adults and children.

The Discovery Green Conservancy works with hundreds of programming partners and sponsors to present three dynamic programming seasons each year and is a wonderful venue to reach a wide range of audiences. As a non-profit organization, the Conservancy operates the park and also raises all the funds needed for the programming that Houstonians enjoy. Discovery Green's mission is to operate an urban park that serves as a village green, a source of health and happiness for our citizens, and a window into the diverse talents and traditions that enrich life in Houston.
