About La Verde Park: 

La Verde Park is a 1.6 acre park at the heart of the Brick and Mortar District. The park features a one-of-a-kind, art-inspired inclusive playground, an event lawn for gatherings of up to 2,200 people, an open-air stage and pavilion, interactive water features, a sand volleyball court, a dog run and more.  

The La Verde Park playground is one of the largest ability-inclusive playgrounds in the region and was intentionally designed to provide shared spaces for children of all ages and abilities to play together. Some of the inclusive features include the custom-designed wooden bobcat play structure, a swing set with ADA seating, an embankment slide reached by a wheelchair-accessible ramp, spinners, springers, and various sensory play devices like the chimes and marimba musical instruments. 

For more information on the inclusive and universally designed playground, please see the Inclusive Playground Fact Sheet. 

The park has also incorporated Low Impact Development features such as a rain garden to support a variety of native plants and pollinators that support Kyle’s urban wildlife like birds and bees, and a tree canopy.  

La Verde Park also hosts an open-air stage and pavilion that has room for large events like concerts and gatherings to the north and smaller acoustic events to the south. A reflective water feature in the front of the pavilion activates the space between events and can be drained to serve as a dance floor. When joined together, the large stage and pavilion, along with the lawn, can accommodate hundreds of people during performances and the market space, combined with cultural trail, can accommodate vendors during events, fairs, and celebrations.
