Fun Outdoor Activities Are Back at Levy Park

Soak up the fall weather at Levy Park.

Levy Park, the beloved pocket park in Upper Kirby, has brought back on-site activities that are fresh for fall. If you head out to one of these classes or events, remember to play it safe—wear your mask and practice social distancing. The park also asks that you don’t move its furniture (it’s placed for social distancing); don’t go if you have symptoms; and do keep in mind the Children’s Park and water feature will remain closed.
