Located on Heights Boulevard
at 18th Street, Marmion
Park is the original location of the Cooley mansion, one of the first
houses built in
Houston Heights. The house was
demolished in 1965. The land sat vacant
until 1979 when it was purchased by the
Houston Heights Association for the purpose
of constructing Marmion
Park, named in honor of the last mayor of
Houston
Heights, J. B. Marmion. The park's award-winning Kaiser
Pavilion was designed to emulate the Cooley
home's unique turret. This beautiful,
tree-lined park and large gazebo are
extremely popular for wedding ceremonies.
