  • ENGAGING HOUSTONIANS IN THE MASTER PLAN PROCESS

    The master planning team has engaged 2,700 participants in public process via public meetings, online input, and focused workshops.

    610 participants Joined six public meetings

    1,829 participants Engaged online

    258 participants Joined twenty focused workshops

  • TENDMemorial Park needs our care. Lets be good stewards.

    MAGNIFYMemorial Park has a lot going for it. Lets make those things more visible.

    OPTIMIZEMemorial Parks parts are out of balance with each other. Lets arrange them so the park can function optimally.

    RECONNECTMemorial Park is divided in many ways. Lets make it whole and plug it into life in Houston.

    REVEALMemorial Park holds stories relevant to all Houstonians. Lets tell them to the world.

  • Larger vegetative patches and ecological corridors will create improved habitat for wildlife, more diverse experiences throughout the park, and ecosystems that are more able to withstand Houston's highly variable climatic cycles.

  • ECOLOGY UPDATE2

  • The park's vegetation has changed from a dominant composition of forest to savannah.

    While this marks a radical shift from the past 50 years, it is beginning to reset to forms more like to what would have been seen at the time of the Karankawa: a landscape that is more resilient to climatic conditions and more hospitable to more diverse fauna.

    DISTINGUISHING FOREST, SAVANNAH, AND PRAIRIE

  • The design seeks to reconnect ecological corridors. Continuous flows of water, wildlife, and plant communities will be restored through restoration of four restoration types:

    1. Riparian forests

    2. Pine/Hardwood Forests

    3. Savannah landscapes

    4. Discrete Native Prairie

  • PROPOSED PARKING

    Dispersed parking lotsprovide improved accessto park activities. Parkingalong Memorial Loop Road isremoved, allowing for two waytraffic and a more park-likefeeling. Discrete parking areasnow provide access to all partsof the site.

    The proposed parking designprovides greater than30% increase in parking capacity.

  • Harris County Metropolitan Transit Authority is currently reconfiguring bus routes to serve as a grid-based system. Their goal is to create easier point-to-point access between all parts of the city. Many lines will have increased frequencies, and weekend service will be as frequent as weekday service. One of the cities largest hubs--the Northwest Transit Center--will be less than a mile north of the NW entrance at Memorial Drive.

  • 15-minute interval bus routes rather than 30-minute intervals running through and adjacent to the park as well as better stops would provide better access to the park for all Houstonians.

  • The transit vision for the park is to create hubs where parking, bus stops, and B-Cycle bike share stations are clustered to allow easy transitions from public transit to on-site bicycle use.
