Nice park with fun stuff for kids. Water features for the hot temps! Beautiful mosaic by artist Dixie Friend Gay. It's worth the trip just to see this lovely artform.

The city has taken an empty lot along the original Metro Train line and turned it into a park for everyone. Parking on surface and underground, three acres of open delights including swings, climbing sculptures and jungle gyms, water attraction with water falls, open grassy areas, a large stage and bathroom facilities. Park employees and police present to insure everyone enjoys the experience. A trip to the park to see the mosaic mural is worth the effort. Visit and support our parks!

I first noticed this park as it was still being built. They have parking available underground which is convenient if you don’t want to drive around looking for street parking. It’s $1 an hour but after 6PM it is a flat rate of $5. On weekends, it is a flat rate of $5. Once you park, you have the option of taking the stairs or an elevator to get back up to street level.
As you walk out of the parking facility building, aka the cube, you see a wide green lawn ahead of you and to the left, is their pavilion which houses a stage for future events. In front of it is their water feature (which wasn’t running the time we were there). To the right of the cube, is the bathroom facilities.
The bathroom building is all concrete. Inside, the sinks, hand dryers and toilets are are stainless steel - very utilitarian-looking. The stainless steel toilets have neither toilet seats nor lids. It also sits lower to the ground. There is a metal baby changing table that comes out from the far end wall in the women’s restroom.
As you walk out further, to the side of the open lawn space is a play area for children. It is gated at multiple points. There is a big climbing dome, a huge rock sculpture that children can climb up on and wooden benches that seamlessly blend in with the winding concrete that borders the landscaping. Nearby is an area designated for strollers. In another section, within the same gated area, there are three stone spheres sitting on the ground along with a plastic table and some other play structures I couldn’t determine the use of. This area was filled with gravel and had a canopy offering shade underneath. It’s all within a circled area and there is stone seating along the half circle border of this section. Right outside the gate is a water fountain. It’s the newer kind where you can drink from it and also fill a bottle with.
There is a garden path along the walkway with signs that tell you of the different plants. As you walk along the path, you come to a waterway. It’s made to look similar to a wetland stream except on a smaller scale. To the side of that is another play area containing two belt swings on mulch-filled ground. There’s also another big rock sculpture but I don’t think you can climb that one.
Further out is a sloping lawn and it ends in a walkway that is bordered by two stone walls, one of which juts out like steps for seating. Nothing much on this side of the park except a lot of space for seating. I saw a lot of dogs out with their owners and there is apparently a dog park on the other side behind the pavilion/stage but we didn’t venture out that way. We mainly stuck to the play areas since that’s all my son was interested in. It’s a nice, quiet, urban park situated right in midtown and across from an apartment complex. I’m sure those folks will enjoy having a convenient park right across the street - especially those with dogs.
It’s not what my son is used to for a park though. I think this is more for festivals and concerts, community events, that kind of thing. There isn’t much for little children. I wouldn’t come out here just for the playground because it’s very small compared to other parks. I think this park is more for adults to enjoy - the green space, picnics on the lawn, music festivals, etc... It’s still fairly new and I don’t think many people know about it yet because it was pretty empty when we were there. No other kids at all. All we saw were dogs with their owners and even that was only a handful.

My children give me tickets to the Martini Blu Jazz and Wine Festival September 8th and 9th as my Mother's Day gift! I understand the location is at Midtown Park, 2811 Travis Street. I'm looking for the closest hotel and restaurants affordable for two senior citizens. We would like to have everything in walking distance so that we can really enjoy our two-day stay in downtown Houston! I worked downtown in the 1980's but have forgotten my way around! I'd be grateful for any helpful suggestions❣
