When [Market Square] reopens this summer, it will feature a dog run, a seven-day-a-week food kiosk operated by a popular Montrose Greek restaurant, an artwalk and a history corner.

[Angie Bertinot, spokeswoman for the Houston Downtown Management District] said the best features of the park’s previous design — an early 1990s effort done by the DiverseWorks gallery — will be retained.
Among them will be artist James Surls’ towering wood and steel tree-shaped sculpture, art tiles bearing historic images of the area assembled by photographer Paul Hester, architectural shards from long-gone area buildings and Malou Flato’s hand-painted ceramic fountains and benches.
Less appealing features, notably the sunken walkways “that just don’t feel good,” will be eliminated, Bertinot said.
