PARK HEADLINES 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 targets five parks in under-resourced communities with a goal of enhancing neighborhood pride. Through November, four parks have received improvements through this initiative. In Third Ward, Zurrie Malone Park (completed in July) and Our Park (completed in September) received improvements. Upgrades to Woodruff Park in the Magnolia-Manchester neighborhood were completed in October 2021. In November, the department celebrated improvements to Earl Henderson Park in the Near Northside. Improvements to Catherine Delce Park in Kashmere Gardens are expected to be complete in December 2021. To celebrate the completion of work the Houston Parks and Recreation Department hosts Love Our Parks Fests at each park. Each event features 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. 50/50 Park Partners 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.
