See Houston's Friendship Pavilion
Located atop the Tudor Family Pine Hill Walk inside McGovern Centennial Gardens, the Friendship Pavilion has been a Houston icon ever since it was installed in 1978. Originally created for the United States Bicentennial, this has come to be a place of reflection in the city.

Taking up a 2.3-mile stretch along the banks of the Buffalo Bayou near downtown, this 160-acre urban park is the pulse of Houston. This open space shows off spectacular views of the Houston skyline. It's also an incredible place to have a picnic, play some games, or hear live music.
