4. Houstonians Speak Up to Renew Memorial Park
In 2013, the Memorial Park Conservancy and its planning partners, Houston Parks and
Recreation Department, and Uptown TIRZ, launched a citywide public input process to
connect with current and future Memorial Park users. Multiple formats were used to offer
all Houstonians opportunities to contribute their viewpoints, including large public open
houses, small workshops, and 24/7 engagement through a Memorial Park Tomorrow
website and social media presence. The input from all of these, have enabled the team to
understand ways that people use the park now and would like to in the future.
The following broad public priorities are the result:
Access
Accessibility is valued highly,
including: entry points to the
Park; connectivity with other
parks and parts of the city, via
foot, bike, car, and mass transit;
and improved parking. Ease of
facilities use.
Balance
Balance—between nature and
recreation, and among the
needs of all “users” (human
and animal).
COME !
WELWELEnhancement of
Existing Character,
Amenities Usage
Preserve and enhance Memorial
Park’s role as an “urban
wilderness”. Upgrading existing
amenities and add restrooms
and drinking fountains.
Safety Security
Better safety/security at night
and for families; safety for
the various types of users;
management of vehicle/bike/
pedestrian traffic.
Communication
Need for stronger
communication, including:
ample and clear signage
and messaging about Park
offerings, ongoing public input/
involvement.
Long-term Sustainability
Preservation and protection
of flora and fauna; a resilient
ecology; employment of
sustainable practices; and
“green” facilities.
Individual Community
Enrichment
Easy to connect to other
Houstonians as well as to the
story of Houston, including:
education programs; ways to
experience the Park’s location;
ways to socialize with others
and feel sense of community.

5. Guiding Principles:
TEND
Memorial Park needs our care. Let’s be good stewards.
MAGNIFY
Memorial Park has a lot going for it. Let’s make those things more visible.
OPTIMIZE
Memorial Park’s parts are out of balance with each other. Let’s arrange them so the
park can function optimally.
RECONNECT
Memorial Park is divided in many ways. Let’s make it whole and plug it into life in
Houston.
REVEAL
Memorial Park holds stories relevant to all Houstonians. Let’s tell them to the world.

VISION: RECONNECTED PARK
• Stitch fragments together with contiguous spaces that
feel like a cohesive park
• Limit visual and pedestrian boundaries within the park
• Maintain existing programmatic elements of the park

excluding areas that are culturally or historically sensitive
• Goal: limit future development to areas that have already been altered by past development

11. GOAL: CONNECT ACTIVE RECREATION AREAS
• Relocate active recreation such as baseball, rugby, and soccer that require more infrastructure and amenities such as parking and
bathrooms
• Combine areas of similar program, use and ecological, cultural, and historical experience
• Share recreation amenities for minimal impact on park and ease of maintenance

preliminary recommendations
for the park’s restoration
strategy.

20. The design seeks to reconnect
what is now a patchwork of
ecological corridors. Continuous
flows of water, wildlife, and plant
communities will be restored
through restoration of four
restoration types:
1. Riparian forests along water
ways
2. Pine/Hardwood Forests
at park edges and in areas
physically appropriate to forest
restoration
3. Savannah landscapes in
much of the rest of the park
4. Discrete Native Prairie near
the center at the highest point
on the site.

21. While road and rail networks
are integral parts of Memorial
Park and the park’s history
and current use, they interfere
with how the park functions as

people and wildlife experience
these ecological zones.

the site, Memorial Park Drive
is realigned to hug the west

30. Two existing ponds in the golf
course are expanded and
two new ponds are created to
collect and store site water.
Water will be used as amenities:
beautiful ponds as well as for
irrigation of the golf course,
ballfields, and lawn spaces.
These ponds will double as
wildlife habitat.

create a sense of immersion
