Hermann Square — Attraction in Houston

When we visited Houston City Hall, we get to know about the Hermann Square Park. Hermann Square is a public park, located in front court of the Houston city hall. There is a reflection rectilinear pool on axis with City Hall’s entry. The pool has cascade fountain. Around the pool, there are limestone seat walls, benches and paved walkway bordered with trees. During every Christmas, a Christmas tree is placed adorning with lights and ornaments. A great photo op with the reflection of Downtown skyline in the pool.

My main concern is the lack of security guards outside the holiday season. Safety should be a priority year-round, I hope the management addresses this issue for the well-being...

The eighty year old stripped classical style City Hall was constructed by the WPA in the late 1930s. I like the recently renovated reflecting pool.

The Visitors Center on the McKinney St. (north) side of the City Hall Building is a must for local residents and out-of-town visitor.

The main Central Library is directly across Walker St.

A reflecting pool runs the length of the square. Almost century old live oak trees surround the pool creating shade...

Herman Square is essentially the reflecting pool at the back of Houstons City Hall. It's quite a nice park, with large trees dotted around it. This visit was for the Art Car Ball, to celebrate and support Houstons Art Car Parade. On Wednesdays in the better weather they will have a Farmers Market at lunch time, with food trucks also present. There is lots of parking near, but you may have to pay...
