Sesquicentennial Park
Sesquicentennial Park follows Buffalo Bayou through the Theater District. Come for waterside public art and a short outdoor contrast to the nearby performance venues, rather than a large garden visit.
The park marks Houston’s 150th birthday through a landscape tied to the bayou. Mel Chin’s Seven Wonders gives the walk a clear artistic focus, while statues of George H. W. Bush and James A. Baker III occupy opposite banks. Its position beside Wortham makes it a useful companion to a theater outing.
What to look for
Mel Chin’s Seven Wonders consists of seven steel pillars.
George H. W. Bush and James A. Baker III statues stand on opposite bayou banks.
The bayou promenade passes the Wortham Theater Center.
Useful to know
Pair the bayou walk with Wortham or another Theater District venue.
Locate the artworks on both banks before deciding how far to follow the promenade.
