Levy Park is a highly programmed 5.9-acre urban park located within the residential development project in the Upper Kirby District of Houston. The renovation transformed an underutilized space into a world-class urban park with amenity-rich, open, green space that has been warmly embraced by the community and become a catalyst for economic development.
The park features numerous programmed spaces, including an activity lawn; a gaming area with a shade arbor where park-goers can play checkers, foosball, ping pong or miniature golf, a large gated children’s garden, a reading room, small and large dog play areas with berms and water features, a lively community garden; and a generous promenade that circles the park.
At the heart of the park is a winding children’s garden, which is not the traditional kind of playground. It features imaginative interactive sculptures, playful fountains and a 150-foot-long tree house that rises at an ADA accessible grade and spans the 40- to 70-year-old legacy live oak trees, which were relocated on the site.
