Lonely Planet review for Discovery Green
Houston’s latest and greatest downtown park is a legitimately cool, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)–certified attraction for all ages. What looks bizarre from a distance – a vast swath of grass raked on a steep diagonal over a parking lot – is impressive from within, with oak-shaded walkways, sculptures, gardens blooming with native Texas plants, and a small lake which transforms into a skating rink in winter. There are plenty of diversions for kids yet adults won’t feel left out: there’s even a swanky restaurant, Grove.
