The Park

Memorial Park, encompassing 1,500 acres near the  intersection of IH-10 West and IH-610 South, and bounded by Buffalo Bayou on its southern edge, is unique among urban parks in its size, location and quality of natural features. Originally the site of Camp Logan, a WWI training camp, the property was purchased by the Hogg family and then sold to the city at cost in 1925. Under the transfer agreement, the land must be used for park purposes only. Today the park represents just over 7% of the city's park land and has a current value estimated at close to $1 billion.
