There are a decent number of developments underway regarding parks and civic spaces both in the city and around the metro. Thought a thread highlighting those spaces would be worthwhile and would ease up the general developments thread.
I'll start with the progress at
Lynn Wyatt Square in the Theater District, Downtown.

Houston’s Theater District will be getting a makeover with a new, very green plaza square and a rooftop lawn that will play host to outdoor performances, a restaurant and special events.
Lynn Wyatt Square for the Performing Arts is being designed to be a more inclusive, lively area in downtown Houston. The space formerly known as Jones Plaza is part of the Houston First Corporation’s efforts to redesign the plaza area in the Theater District. The one-and-a-half acre project, now under construction, is a collaborative effort designed by international design collective Rios and Harrison Kornberg Architects.
Using a placemaking strategy called Urban Choreography, Rios is responsible for the architecture of the square, whose design was inspired by the performing arts.
