  • Discovery Green, the big park in downtown Houston, has public bocce courts... but don't play petanque on them: that would tear up the super-smooth surface that is so important for bocce. The courts are in the southernmost corner of the park, where Lamar meets Ave. de la Americas in front of the Hilton. (map) The Discovery Green web site is http://www.discoverygreen.com/
