The park occupies the site of the legendary Teas Nursery, which operated in Bellaire for over a century.
The 'Move It' sculpture was created by artist Bridgette Mongeon and involves a digital component accessible via mobile devices.
The park's design intentionally incorporates historical remnants of the nursery's original landscaping into its current layout.
Evelyn's Park is a five-acre urban green space located on the historic site of the former Teas Nursery in Bellaire, Texas. The park features an iconic larger-than-life bronze sculpture titled 'Move It', depicting children playing with a giant metal book. The grounds incorporate drought-resistant landscaping, native plant gardens, and extensive walking paths. Visitors have access to a large Great Lawn suitable for recreational activities and public events. The park includes a dedicated children's play area with interactive water features and climbing structures. On-site facilities include the Evelyn's Park Conservancy office and a full-service restaurant that utilizes the historic building infrastructure. The site emphasizes community gathering with multiple seating areas, benches, and shaded pavilions throughout the property.
