"A collaboration between The Orange Show Center for Visionary Art and architect Dan Phillips, Smither Park, in Houston's emerging East End, is an artistic venue for leisure-time activities. Here you'll find pieces designed and executed by more than 300 artists, many from Houston. The whimsical half-acre green space has an amphitheater, a memory wall, a meditation area, covered pavilion, swings, sculptures, and elaborate mosaics from recycled and recovered materials ranging from broken ceramics and bottle caps to tiles and sea shells." - Marcy de Luna
