New Downtown Park near GRB
www.houstondowntownpark.org

The new Downtown Park in Houston will take up three blocks in Downtown Houston.

Houston’s new downtown park is being developed on an 11.78-acre site between the George R. Brown Convention Center and the heart of downtown Houston. The park is the culmination of the dreams of many Houstonians for a major urban park that is being realized as a result of the leadership of Mayor Bill White and some of Houston’s most committed and generous citizens.

It will be complete in 2007. More info here: Houston Downtown Park

I wish I'd known what that was, I'd have taken pictures of it from street level when I was down there last weekend. I drove by it numerous times and had no idea what it was.
