Love Our Parks
Mayor Sylvester Turner is working with the Houston Parks and Recreation Department to improve and upgrade neighborhood parks through the Mayor’s Love Our Parks Complete Communities Initiative. Phase One of the program targeted five parks in under-resourced communities with a goal of enhancing neighborhood pride. The five parks that received improvements under the initiative are Zurrie Malone Park, Our Park, Woodruff Park, Earl Henderson Park, and Catherine Delce Park.

Phase Two of the program has brought upgrades to three parks - Hobart Taylor Park, Irvington Park, and Independence Heights Park. Evella Park and Lincoln Park are scheduled for improvements before the end of 2023.

The Houston Parks and Recreation Department celebrated the park improvements by hosting Love Our Parks Fests at each park. Each event featured special programming and activities from the Houston Parks and Recreation Department, Houston Public Library, the Houston Police Department and the Greater Houston Police Activities League (GHPAL), Houston Health Department, and Houston Public Works.

The 50/50 Park Partners campaign is a call to action by the Mayor’s Office, Houston Parks Board, Greater Houston Partnership, and the H.P.A.R.D.
