Oldest bar in Houston. Cash only, with a very old register Please do stop by and check it out. Prices are great, atmosphere is awesome and service is good. We were lucky to be there just as they reopened from the pandemic. I really hope the business levels stay good and they keep it open. It truly is a gem. Also close to a lot of other venues.

Saturday mornings are great for walks and bike riding. If you dont have a bike, perhaps you may want to rent one. There is plenty of space to walk, maybe with your puppy to enjoy the area. You can view the history or the old pictures, plus the activity board. Some people just simply stroll around and relax.

I loved this park the dog park was clean, so clean there was a group of people having a picnic on a portion of it. The cops kept any homeless person in the neighborhood away and the food truck had some really juicy burgers. The location is amazing there are so many eateries around the area and a nice mural to take pictures near

I really like this little park, a great place to kill time on a beautiful day with plenty of seating and people watching alongside a bubbling fountain and dog park. Plenty of dining and drinking on all corners and with a short walk/ride to the bayou trails proper.

Love it Here ... Very Nice Place to Sit around Chat And Take Beutiful Pictures.

Nikos Nikos is good food spot but the homeless are aggressive around the park. The trees are full of birds which means sidewalks are full of poop and stench. Cool dog park though.

Nice seated area with pretty landscaping. Enjoyed a coffee with our dog and enjoyed people watching.

Its enchanting, features a very nice memorial for victims of 9-11 and also theres a shop where U can find refreshments

Cool place down to stop and get a quick bite or break when checking out down town Houston.

Great space in downtown Houston to get some fresh air at lunch time.

Cool little park downtown. Worth a look.

Had a wonderful work event enjoying the NikoNikos food and drinks in the air of market square!We arrived a bit early before the live music began, but wish we would’ve stayed longer!Great place to enjoy the weather and company!

Good Atmosphere but watch the homeless people

Nicely decorated for Christmas. Nice place to sit and relax. For kids there is not much to do here.

I like this little park. Its a nice place to sit and have lunch. There are literally dozens of restaurants within walking distance and Niko Nikos right in the middle of the park.Even though its a small park, there are adequate benches and places

So, this place is chill AF! And I used to run the garage at Market Square! Miss this!

I absolutely love Market Square Park. the scenery and trails and parks are beautiful.

Excellent place to chill and eat. Shaded and quite lovely

Very cool park in Houston. Surrounded by boutique bars and restaurants. 9-11 memorial in the park was beautiful.

Im here daily. Nice environment when the homeless are dominating it.

Beautiful small park, excellent dog park! RUCKUS loved it! Highly recommend!

Very cool and vibrant atmosphere to get social along with numerous eatery choices. Very upbeat for dog lovers as well.

I guess they want the chairs to be uncomfortable so you dont sit there too long.

Good place to have some quality time with the family and chill

Is beautiful, the only bad thing was the construction

Excellent place to enjoy downtown. Interesting views.

Great park but kind of small. Feels a little European urban

GREAT PLACE TO GO TO RELAX AND ENJOY THE DAY,

Awesome people. Showing their talents! Check out THE BIG JERK! Hometown soda ! Lavender Lemonade is BEST

A fun little stop off in downtown Houston. Its small, but has some great seating and several restaurants with grab and go style food.Pro tip: On Sundays parking is free in downtown. On a nice day, you can swing over to Market Square, grab some Niko Nikos from the kiosk or a couple of slices of pizza from Franks right down the street and enjoy a picnic outside. Great place for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Love this park. It is one of the best in Houston and we continually bike ride out of this park.

Fantastic layout of the park. Lots of seating and walkways. There is also a dog park. Doesnt smell great in that area but the landscaping around the dog park helps contain the smell from lingering. We visited during dusk and evening and the lighting was comfortable. I felt safe. The surrounding businesses offer a nice level of excitement to the environment as well as the Niko Niko restaurant in the park.

Park was cleaned well and kept up nicely. Not at Star because there were a number of homeless people hanging around in mid day. Not that there is anything wrong with being homeless as it can happen to the best of society, just wouldnt feel safe letting the kids run free there.

Market Square bingo was awesome! This was our first time, we cant wait until later this month to play again!

Great greenspace in the historic part of Houston, Texas. Theres a dog park which is split into 2 sides, big dogs and little dogs with both having water fountains so that the pooches dont fall out in our summer heat. :-) 3 wonderful sculptures including the Houston skyline in metal. Foodwise Nico Nico is the only vendor acutally in the park. But, across the street on the east side theres Treebeards (they are now open for lunch on Saturdays) while on the north side theres Barnabys and Sapporo Sushi for food while you have La Carafe, Houstons oldest bar and haunted place. On a serious note, there is a garden, Laurens Garden, with fountains and sculptures, which was created to honor, and never let us forget those we lost on that terrible day 9/11.

Very beautiful place in the heart of downtown Houston. The colorful benches were so beautiful. The ambiance was so historic. I loved the quite time spent there

My fiance and I are not really club people but we did want to stay home especially since our schedule are like night and day Literally lol... But also just driving thru the late night but technically early morning was enjoying and peaceful... Downtown Houston is so beautiful... So we decided to stop at Market Square Park and have our own personal photo shoot... Overall we had a great time.

Its a great meeting place and a beautiful place for photos

Grass is always dead and the homeless are all over. Also bike people take over the park everynight

Went to NIKO NIKOs for Lunch, beautiful weather and surrounding in the Downtown Houston Market Square area. Very Clean and Open Scenic Area to to relax and just lounge.

Park looks great and the staff is very friendly

Keep an eye out for events that go on here. Every one I have attended is really fun!

Great little park, Niko Nikos has great food, and the park is at the center of downtown, there is a little dog park, so bring your 4 legged friends, there is a grassy area that has super soft grass which is unusual for Texas

Great area with Niko Niko’s Greek food in the center, Kim Son and other places of interest. A great area for walking and site seeing as well.

Love this nice little park in downtown. The dog park is spacious, and my dog loves the water area. Its not as big as some other dog parks but much bigger than expected for the area. I love the pavilion and seating. Open wifi would be great but is not a perk at this time. Still though, its lovely. I love their evening movies in the park. It makes it feel like fall.

Market square park offers a variety of fun community events, lots of beautiful greenery and landscaping, a dog park that gets pretty busy in the early mornings, and late evenings, as well as various water fountains, sculpture, and even a Niko Nikos. The park is well maintained and clean. It’s centrally located in downtown Houston’s historic district. There is loads of street parking available on the street around the park, as well as several parking lots and garages. My favorite summer activity at the park are the concerts on the green.

Italian Cream Cake from Treebeards and Market Square Park walk with the dogs - outstanding use of Covid-19 family quarantine time

Very historic place. The location is great and the mural is a great background for taking good photos.

Didnt pay to much attention to the details... I will next time around. Pero, overall.

Usually come here the last Friday of every month for CRITICAL MASS. Its a very nice park with a dog park and very well kept. The host blanket bingo here an some movie nights an olnty of other things. Becomes very well decorated for the holidays. Plenty of bars and hang out spots around it. Will keep.coming

Favorite place to grab a bite and chill a lil while Im out and about downtown

Beautiful flower. Nice place for walk.

Great place, especially that Niko Nikos there near by. You can enjoy food and relax at the same time. Visit this place you wont regret.

Nice and clean park in a great location

Beautiful Pak. Great for relaxing on a sunny day.

We love coming over for a walk and lunch.

Really beautiful, little park in the middle of concrete and high buildings. It was cold and drizzly when I went. Looking forward to visiting when the weather is beautiful. Will go again, soon.

Love the small town and the old buildings. Market days have everything from homemade jelly and handcrafts to antiques. Even guitar players setting around jamming.

I loveIts those little landscapes that make you smile

Great place to walk your dogs. Cute little fountains. The water part or the gDog park is so much fun. You do have to watch out for hobos & roaches. If your walking & hungry I suggest Franks pizza.

Dieing bird next to credit card reader and window was open and flys were inside the bldg and saw some on food. Not good.

Super convenient and lovely. Good food and pleasant staff. One of my favorite spots on the city

Movie night. Check the Downtown Market Square website.

Really nice park with cool art installation.

Ambience, feel. There are so many restaurants in front to this place. Single, mingle, couple..go at least for once, you will like it too.

It is very peaceful , very relaxing,with the sound of water all around, and if you like tall buildings which I do,than you would love the master pieces that the park is surrounded by.

This place is awesome! There is amazing produce at really cheap prices. There are also lots of spices, plants, and bulk goods. Make sure and bring cash. The store in the front takes card but most places prefer small bills. Basic Spanish is helpful but not necessary. You may never shop at a grocery store again.

Fun for the whole family.

Its nice for a walk in the park with mans best friend. The shop in the middle has some nice Mediterranean food. Not bad at all.

Niko Nikos - Nice cozy spot to pick up a snack or brunch while waiting on public transportation. My desert was fabulous. I thought it was hot, but it was cold like an icebox pie, but awesome!

Fantastic representation of the 9/11 events. Very nicely done and thoughtful.

Great place to walk and visit

Weve always driven past this park but on Super Bowl Sunday, we decided to explore the park while it was relatively empty. Parking is available on the street along all four corners of the park, which takes up a whole city block. There are curved stone benches throughout along the borders of the park of which the seat backs are made up of a mosaic of colored stones. In the center of the park is a rectangular, covered, elevated patio that is attached to the Niko Nikos situated on the northern end of the park closer to Congress street. There are tables and chairs set up on that patio. Next to it, there are wooden benches set on the grass for extra seating. In the corner (Congress and Travis), there are portable restrooms. Across from that are bike racks and also a station to rent bikes. Along the Congress street border is Laurens Garden which is dedicated to the victims of 9/11. There is a foundation comprised of three walls that represent each of the crash sites. Its a nice memorial set in downtown Houston.

Its a nice place but there are less than desirable people gathered around it. One guy tried to sell me a parking place on the street. It could use some attention.

Love this place so much.

I come here to jog often. Great atmosphere and good people! A great place to relax.

Beautiful Park.This place is awesome!There is amazing produce at really cheap prices.Wonderful venues all around.

Beautiful park! Food vendors, musicians. Loved it.

Nice park, nice time, enjoy the open space

Good food and workers are very good and nice

Very well designed! Beautiful mixture of historic and modern elements! Filled with life and positive vibes!

Beautiful small park downtown with shade!

Always great to visit - great park (dog park available), great location, street DT parking is always a challenge!

It’s a cute little park in Downtown with a Niko Niko’s stand if you’re craving Greek food! Parking is hard, but with luck, you can find street parking. It’s free on Sundays. This park is close to a lot of good bars and eating places too.

Great place to sit down and people watch, grab a coffee and just enjoy being at the heart of Houston Downtown

We always enjoy helping people set up for events here. The Park is well-kept and you can tell that the people in charge really care!

Despite being a very small park in the heart of Downtown, it was quiet and peaceful.

The best place to stop for a cold brew after completing 22 miles on your bike with 10 miles left. Thanks for making Houston awesome!!

Home away from home

Only a little bit scary... The homeless enjoy some comforts here, but werent a bother to us. Lots of food and drink options in the immediate area.

Does anyone know what happened to Bobs Iguana Bits? I really loved that food stall, but now its gone. It was really good...a little gamey though. Almost tasted like...human flesh.

Nice place to relax but too crowded

Nice outdoor public hangout.

It was ok , enjoyed my time there, wished it was bigger and had more to offer.

Simply beautiful and perfect place to stop. I mean I guess you gotta be wary of who else is here sometimes, but its fantastic during the daylight and gorgeous weather. Do yourself a favor and stop in here! Pet friendly, good for walking, boarding, biking, strolling, hiking and even studying. Plenty of amazing food places nearby. Serene scene includes water by which to relax, very important to me. Hop skip and a jump from the Metrorail and multiple bus lines. The surrounding area is like a shopping town within a town. Kind of reminds me of the shops and eateries in Galvestons downtown.

I love this park. Very historical location. The beautiful Laurens Garden is such a melancholy spot to visit, so sad why it is there but such a spot of hope at the same time. It is nice to have a place like this in Houston to visit, reflect, give thanks and never forget Lauren and the other Americans lost on that fateful date. God speed.

Im from New York so when I see a small little park in a city I was expecting a disaster, but instead I was surprised it is quite relaxing and not to much noise, what makes this place even better was the cute little cafe in the middle of the park.

Clean with close parking. Super convenient. Had a great time with the family there during the St. Patricks Day Parade. Only had to walk a short distance from our parking spot one block away. Son was able to run around in the center of the park while we listened to live music.

Great for dogs and humans.

Its clean and I like the Christmas tree and lights they have on display. It is a nice place to bring the doggies.
