So sad to see how this once beautiful, lively and festive place is now depleted, water drained out of its fountains. I remember coming here as a kid to the Childrens Festivals they would have and the Art Festivals. It WAS a nice place... Id like to see it up and running again some day in The near future.

Participated in the march today for little Maleah Davis. Mayor Turner declared June 9th Maleah Davis Day. It was a beautiful coming together by the citizens of Houston. We continue to pray for her family and justice for this precious little girl.

A cute park where you can take a break from the surrounding hustle and bustle.

I come sit at this park durning lunch pretty regularly. The landscaping is usually pretty well maintained and it is clean but it isn’t anything to write home about. It is clearly underfunded or has been forgotten because the fountain areas are all empty and clearly not operational. There is always left over rain water that has started growing algae but that’s clearly not how it was intended. There are always a few sketchy homeless people talking to themselves and those who pass by but that’s pretty normal anywhere downtown. With discovery green only a few blocks away it’s no wonder this park is usually pretty empty.

I like tranquility park alot. I like the whole area of this place and all along the buffalo bayou. This place is great and is for everyone.Even though Hurricane Harvey did what it did the city shall do what it has to to take care of it and to make sure it stays nice and beautiful.The young and old can enjoy everything from walks to jogging and bike riding. Many walk their pets... I used to work temporarily for the buffalo bayou partnership as a temp worker from Pacesetter and many of us went to clean up after Harvey. In all that I really enjoyed the work and loved the riding around looking for areas to clean up.Many of us never forget the scenes all along the tranquility park and beyond. The trees,hilly side walks, and really friendly people everywhere who waved at us and just smiled while we from pace waved back.Lots of birds, butterflies, a rabbit also, and more. You just never know on a very nice morning or early evening what you might see...Thank God for places like this among all the other parks.

Beautiful place to take walks, have picnics, walk your dog, meet up friends and what have you. Not that I spent much time there though... It was such a beautiful place that I just had to drop a review! Tell me what you think when you visit as I am sure the experience of one person is not equal to the experience of everyone. Cheers!

The park has 2 issues, one like most of houston mushrooms grow here periodically. And the park is too small, for how popular it is.

I walked by the Latin Fest which was held in Tranquility Park yesterday. There was a huge line of people waiting to get in. They apparently reached the maximum amount of people, and the ones in line were having to wait for someone to leave before they could enter. The music was lively and everyone appeared to be enjoying themselves.

When I lived in downtown I used to come here pretty often, but closer to the end of my lease I started to come here less and less because the homeless people problem got completely out of hand. I wish it was maintained a bit better in that sense.

Review №35

This is a good place to walk or just hang out. With water features and sculpted designs on the walkways it is just as the name says: a tranquil place. Somewhat shielded from the surrounding roads by being below street level it is a bit of an oasis in downtown Houston.

Great skateboarding history. Sad they skate stopped most of the park allowing it be over ran by homeless people. Sad the city would rather have feces all over the park than a few scratched rails

Small Nice park to bring your family, friends or pets to have a relaxing time. More so, there is NASA Apollo Mission history on the pavements in some parts of the park if you explore towards the center of the park and more.

Tranquility Park is a good place to be, a safe haven for the homeless and its a safe place, right next to City Hall and its always being policed by the horse cops so its a good place to be. A safe place to be if you want to relax.

I was actually at the crossway/bridge across the street. It is a Houston area of interest that would have great appeal if it was maintained properly. But, it is just drab with a host of pigeons ️

Today on Veterans Day it was awesome! Kudos to all that planned, organized, supported and participated! First VD parade Ive ever gone too, all the floats, bands, marchers and crowd made me happy, honored and proud to be an armed forces veteran. Well done!

The Tranquility Park is true to its name. It is beautiful. Its downtown so once you fight through traffic to get to parking itll totally be worth it. During the summer its ridiculously hot. The ideal time to get the most out of park is to go during the end of the summer and throughout the fall and winter. Its also a walking distance from the station which is super convenient as well.

Fix the gd fountain. Its supposed to honor the Challenger crew. Mayor Anus Porker spent 2 million on city halls crummy fountain across the street so she could watch it from the window eating chili dogs all day on the peoples tab.

I love this place. The water fountain is really relaxing. Although its not their fault but downtown are wherever you go you have to pay Hefty amount for parking. Which sucks but other than that

Review №68

It has been about 5 years I last visited and a lot had changed. Its like the citys budget has run dry and literally the turned off the water in the park. There are no pools, fountains, or waterfalls left. Instead, the park has homeless people sleeping on benches and in gray areas. Typical of a democrat-managed city.

Beautiful park, when its not too crowded. I love taking walks from time to time here in the sunny, clear skies. This park has very fond memories with me and its something I come back to from time to time. Its clean, the architecture is good, and its pretty. What more could you ask for?

Review №71

I wish there would have been a little bit more to this park. It seems as if the funding may have decreased. For example, there is a area where you would expect maybe some water or anything but it just looked unkept.

Under Rusk Street in between Tranquility & the Smaller Tranquility Park there are 2 beautiful cats one is black and the other is Torteshell so pretty. My kitten once was carried across the park. The other two times wandered off by himself and once was taken to the park but each time. My Litty found his way back to the walkway above Rusk st. Walking to a friend that was always there. I have had a lot of great friends at tranquility park.

Well manicured lawn, trees, landscaping. Clean and well kept. Water wall is pretty cool. Had low expectations, looking for somewhere unique to take out of town guests. Spent half hour walking and enjoying the large, encompassing sound inside the fountain. Worth a one-time visit if in the area.
