MD Anderson Wortham Park And Levit Family Garden At 1212 Holcombe Blvd.


Recommended Posts

There is a park that spans a few blocks called MD Anderson Wortham Linear Park that contains the Levit Family Garden located at 1212 Holcombe Boulevard.

The small park actually has 2 separate water fountains! Impressive.

I know who Gus Wortham is but I'm not sure who the Levit family would be.  I assume the garden is named after Joe Levit, of Grocers Supply Company.

The park starts on the outside of the Lowry and Peggy Mays Clinic.

Thanks for posting those.  Coincidentally, just a couple of weeks ago I was looking for this park, but couldn't really see it on the street views. 

I wish there were more parklets in the Medical Center to sit in between appointments, or just as a refuge when you're waiting for someone or get some bad news.

I saw an episode of 72 Hours a few months ago where a hospital converted the roof of one of its parking garages into a park for doctors and patients and visitors.  It would be nice to see more of this sort of thing.
