Fun Things To Do Near the Heights
Residents of The Heights need not stray far to find dining, retail, and entertainment options. The Houston Heights Association operates three properties for public use: the Heights City Hall & Fire Station, Donovan Park, and Marmion Park.
Built in 1914, the Historic Heights City Hall & Fire Station is a 7,000-square-foot building. It has been renovated and updated and now serves as a community center and an events venue.
Donovan Park, at 700 Heights Boulevard, features the beautiful The Heights Playground. The playground features elements reminiscent of the community’s history: a wooden train and a Victorian-inspired fortress complete with turrets and rope bridges. The park was transformed into what it is today thanks to community efforts and 5 days of work.
The city of Houston also maintains a number of parks in the Heights, including Milroy Park and Community Center. Park amenities include lighted tennis courts and a playground.
