Discovery Green is Houston’s go-to urban park for outdoor fun, events, and community gatherings. Located in the heart of downtown, it features open lawns, a lake for kayaking, public art installations, and a playground for kids. Throughout the year, the park hosts everything from live concerts and fitness classes to outdoor movie nights and seasonal ice skating. With on-site restaurants and plenty of spots to relax, it’s a great place to take a break from the city buzz. If you're looking for more green spaces, Hermann Park and Sam Houston Park offer a mix of history and nature downtown, while the sprawling Memorial Park sits just west of the city center.

Check their event schedule to see what's on (mind that most events are conducted in Russian).
