We came to Midtown Park today for the OMG Good Fest, which ran from 2-10 PM. We decided to go earlier in the day since we had other plans later. The park is located at 2811 Travis St. and is super convenient when it comes to parking, there's plenty of street parking around, and there's even a garage directly underneath the park (heads up, you do have to pay to park). The park itself is beautiful and well set up for events. There's a large stage perfect for live entertainment, a grassy hill that provides some nice shade and a place to relax, a small seating area, and even a kids' play zone. They host a lot of events here, but when there isn't something going on, the park is open to everyone to just enjoy. Overall, Midtown Park is a great spot whether you're coming for a festival or just want to chill outdoors. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the Midtown area! read more

Clean and spacious, Midtown Park regularly hosts free Zumba classes for the community taught by a range of friendly and upbeat instructors with a diverse playlist. I can most appreciate the security on patrol, clean restrooms, and plentiful green space. The park also boasts a jungle gym and swings for child entertainment (or adults seeking nostalgia). Metered street parking is available nearby. On a Tuesday evening, I had no issue finding parking and will return for future workout classes. read more

I'd like to put my Aggressive Dog in your Midtown Park, if you like? Yes, I did see an aggressive dog when I was here, but it's a great park. This lovely park in Midtown is gorgeous and in a perfect spot to really give Midtown some extra charm. It's a great place to hang out and a great place to get hipster food, which you can bring over here when it's not too hot as well, and there are a couple of other parks nearby. read more

Great spot to park if you are going to a concert at Warehouse Live Midtown. Very close to the venue, lighted and safe!

Midtown Park is a small park located in the heart of Midtown. It's mostly a nice large field with some sculptures and a playground (currently closed due to COVID). Regular events are hosted here as well in the pavilion. It's nice to spend a few minutes outdoors here. They have some murals to take photos by and a B-bike station as well. read more

Stumbled across this little tiny gem in the middle of cityville. Went to Cali for dinner and as we were heading out around 9ish, heard some noise in the distance. Upon further investigation it was a park woohoo. There is some very beautiful water features and greenery that camouflages the park. It was dark so couldn't make it all the toys but there were swings and what looked like a small play area for kids. As we walked further in, the noise got louder and across the vast green lawn, was a building and in front was a large projected screen of When Harry Met Sally. Yep, it was the famous scene I heard lol and apparently recognized. There was a handful of people in lawn chairs and blankets watching the movie. It was a pleasant surprise. We stayed a little longer and as we left took time to admire the rest of the park. I did some further research and found a calendar of events which included Zumba and other interactive activities. Def a nice place to go to get away from the hub bub of life esp if you live in downtown. read more

It's a gorgeous park! I love the scenery and each time I've gone there's been security so I feel safe. It's dog friendly and has a nice sized dog park sectioned off. Sadly there's never been any dogs when we go. I gave it 3 stars because the last time I was there I was trapped in their parking garage. The machine to pay to let me out wouldn't take my ticket stub. When I pressed the button to speak to someone she told me to go downstairs and use that machine but it wasn't working either. I ended up just paying the No Ticket cost just so that I could get out of there. I ended up paying $8 when it should've only been $1. read more

Really nice park! Not a huge park but plenty of room for the kids and pups to run around. We had a little picnic on top of the hill with an amazing view of the park. Beautiful artwork displayed and a restful place to hangout on a beautiful day! Big win for me was parking. The parking garage is right below and only cost us $5. There is also street parking surround the park if you are lucky to grab a spot! read more

New public park in midtown. It's a nice greens-cape from all the new apartment buildings. There's not much traffic yet, since it's new. We've been coming by to eat lunch and play cricket. I also see schools busing little kids here during lunch/recess. It's a small park, but it has a small playground with swings and what not, couple sloped lawns for picnic, and a mini dog park of the other side. Unfortunately there are always kids on the swings, so I haven't had a chance to play it yet... =/ There is a stage area, I'm waiting for concerts and what not to happen. Exciting! TL;DR, new park in midtown if you need to look at something green. ps: It has an underground parking garage read more

I live super close to this park and take quick walks around it with my dog frequently. Midtown park has events almost every weekend ranging from grilled cheese festivals to yoga festivals! The event prices usually start at about $20 a person. I haven't made it to one yet, but they always look like a lot of fun! After the event the park may not be in the best shape, but it always looks perfect again on Monday morning. They do extensive cleaning including power washing the sidewalks and stage if necessary! The only compliant I have about this park is that they are very strict that no dogs are allowed on the main lawn. They have a separate dog area, but I have a very small dog and the dog area usually has lots of large dogs/is muddy! They have a security guard pretty much 24/7 it seems like - so I always feel safe walking my dog around there, but they do always say something if she goes near the lawn. read more

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 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. 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 although it's great that they gated the play area. I think this park is more for adults to enjoy - the green space, picnics on the lawn, music festivals, etc... read more

Beautiful Park... I watched this park be built from day one and was uber excited to attend an event here. The architecture is nice and well thought out. The stage is appropriate for any performance and they have awesome fountains that light up various colors. There is also a parking garage below. Houston needs more swanky parks like this!!! read more

Small Dog Owners!!! I have a 4lbs Yorkie and he is able to escape the fence very easily!! I just had to keep a very close eye on him while there. I did bring my other two dogs here, one is 12lbs and the other 24lbs and they where just fine. All three had lots of fun chasing each other up and down the hill. There is even a water fountain for the dogs inside the fence!! read more

Was my favorite part of the day. Until the new security guard told me and my service dog we would only be allowed for 3] minutes. Yesterday he told me my dog wasn't allowed there. I showed a service bag and I am assuming he took that hard. Standing by to try and make a problem. Some people should never be given any authority. . This is one of those pe. I filled a complaint with the city. 6:00 on a Tuesday no one is in the park. 5 people. I don't like anyone taking thier inferiority issues out on me. The sign that stated the rules was conventional laying flat.. read more

A new urban oasis in Midtown. This lovely park is such a welcome addition to the area. In addition to the gorgeous grounds filled with greenery and gorgeous landscaping, there is a playground for children, dog park, game courts and more. Looks like the folks at Midtown also have live performances scheduled. The park features an underground parking garage and is right off the METRO rail lines' McGowen Station. Several restaurants are nearby, but you could also hop on the train and head downtown or the Museum District. read more

Great area for the pups to play and close to home. Met new friends and can't wait to go back. The parking garage is oversized so it's suitable for big trucks. Major plus!! We'll be back! read more

Super small park! If you have toddlers it's perfect for them but even older kids (7-12) may get bored because of the limited playground space and smaller vicinity. Clean and great location though! read more
