About the Menil Park
Menil Park, located at 1423 Branard Street in Houston, Texas, is a 30-acre urban oasis that is an integral part of the Menil Collection experience. Surrounded by early-20th-century bungalows and shaded by majestic live oak trees, the park offers visitors a source of civic energy and domestic tranquility within the bustling city. The park is home to major works of outdoor sculpture, including Jim Love's Jack and pieces by renowned artists such as Michael Heizer and Mark di Suvero. Visitors can enjoy the serene atmosphere of Menil Park, McGovern Green, and the grass lawn near the entrance to the Menil Drawing Institute, all of which are free and open to the public. One of the highlights of Menil Park is the bright red swing hanging from the sturdiest oak tree, part of the Red Swing Project created by a University of Texas architecture student. Come and experience the beauty and serenity of Menil Park, a true urban oasis in the heart of Houston.

Reviews of Menil Park
"Wonderful experience attending a meditation event. Relaxed environment, friendly encounters & convenient location. Absolutely recommended for local Houstonians or travelers."
"We're in Houston (with our dog Bear) for a couple of months. I tried several of the dog parks near our Montrose rental and thought most of them were either undesirable or just OK. One day, driving down Richmond, I saw a big field with a sign on the fence that says "Please leash." Not a dog park but whaaaa? I returned later that day and knew that Bear and I had found a new home. The big field is not really a park but it has two poo-bag dispensers with trash cans so it's clearly dog-friendly. Within a day or so, I had discovered the whole of the Menil campus covering the six square blocks to the north of the Richmond field, and I knew we had found a home. It's not a dog park, but it's the BEST dog walking place we've found in the area. A lot of other people agree because on any given day, there are dozens of dog-walkers about. Many of them just live in the neighborhood, but clearly many of them are like us, and drive a short distance to get there. Thanks to the Menil Foundation for making this wonderful facility available and friendly to our dogs. Everyone is friendly and (nearly) everyone responsibly cleans up after their dogs. Kudos to the landscaping and maintenance crews that take care of this place too."
"Loved it, very tranquil area. The visit to the museum was very refreshing, inspiring, beautiful AND free as well. Really good gem I missed for so many years. Photos dont do justice as they dont allow you to take photos of the exhibits :-("
"Nice, chill, quite, lots of really interesting trees, but I'm kind of scared of all the homogeneous houses surrounding it. Feels a bit like village of the damned or something."
"Manil Park is a must place to visit. The outside is enough reason to spend time there. With its huge trees in numerous varieties, and artwork spread around to delight the eye. However, each of the 5 buildings sprinkled around, hold treasures to spark your imagination, and open your eyes to the wonders of our world. Including foreign countries and varieties of people, plants, oceans, and famous works of art. Art that should be famous. Art that makes you think. Art that makes you feel. And I only made it through 2.25 of the buildings and a 1/4 of the outside. This is a hidden treasure waiting to be found."
