Geocache Description:


Discovery Green, a 12-acre park located in downtown Houston, has opened to the public on April 13, 2008. The long-awaited destination fulfills a commitment from Mayor Bill White and major private Houston foundations to create and preserve green space within Houston’s central city. With its proximity to the George R. Brown Convention Center, Minute Maid Park and Toyota Center, Discovery Green is an ideal location for the city’s newest attraction.

“Discovery Green will be a wonderful attraction for our city,” said Mayor Bill White. “We are proud of the commitment from the Discovery Green Conservancy in creating this unique destination in the heart of downtown Houston. For a long time to come, Discovery Green will be an asset to Houstonians of all ages and visitors from everywhere.”

“We want our residents and families to enjoy the beauty and tranquility of Discovery Green,” said Nancy Kinder, Board Chair, Discovery Green Conservancy. “It was our goal to create a truly special destination for Houstonians with a tremendous range of activities and entertainment throughout the week.”
