samagon Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 has anyone noticed that they have signs at every entrance that say "NO SCOOTERS"? this is not a big deal, what is a big deal, is that in an attempt to keep scooters out, they have placed those industrial power cord covers (the black and yellow plastic 'bumps') across every entrance. I wonder how long before someone trips over one of those and gets some injury lawyer involved? even a wayward scooter that bumps over one of those, face plants into the pavement, and breaks and arm would have every right to sue. this is a bad idea on whoever's part did it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The signs also say No Bicycles allowed too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txtiger Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hate to gripe about anything, but who approved this play equipment...: https://www.chron.com/houston/article/Discovery-Green-renovated-playground-16047416.php?IPID=Chron-HP-CP-Spotlight ...when these equip aesthetics exist: https://www.playlsi.com/en/commercial-playground-equipment/playgrounds/pioneer-park/#playgroundstory https://www.playlsi.com/en/commercial-playground-equipment/playgrounds/signal-butte-park/ (DG's new play features have a terrible color palate for the location, and the equipment is way too standard-fare.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Town Man Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Maggie Daley Park in Chicago is the best I've seen. On a different level from this one (but way more space... perhaps an idea for the freeway cap park?).

The new playground seemed much too small and the structures were not fun at all. The old playground was much more functional. We had high hopes but left disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 The east side of downtown was packed with cars and people. As I approached I thought to myself, the Astros are in Seattle why are there so many people downtown? Turns out GRB had another Volley Ball tournament and what looked like a fishing convention. Discovery Green had the annual Earth Day event going on. Looks like downtown is coming back. Earth Day murals in progress. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeerNut Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Supposedly these fines are $200 but saw several people on scooters in Discovery Green. A busker was playing piano behind this sign which which surprised me for Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Love how their signs are likely in the city ROW. I wonder if the HPD officer on duty would ticket them for that? The one I saw on the SW corner definitely was blocking a bit of the sidewalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 A new art exhibit in Discovery Green "Celebración de Vida by MEXICRÁNEOS".
