Mission

Discovery Green Conservancy's vision is to create a vital, active urban space at the heart of our community through creative placemaking. The park typically offers more than 600 events each year, most of which are presented free to the public.

Programs

1 program

In March 2017, Discovery Green entered into a partnership with Houston First to manage programming for the new Avenida Houston Plaza in front of the George R. Brown Convention Center. The goal is to provide both convention visitors and Houstonians a great new downtown destination. Numerous free events, including live music and temporary art installations, were programmed by Discovery Green on the plaza across the street from the park.
