You are invited to an Open House to learn more about Memorial Groves, a Memorial Park Master Plan Project!
​
Memorial Park Conservancy invites the community to an open house revealing the final design for a poetic re-imagining of the 100 acres along West Memorial Loop Drive that will be known as Memorial Groves.
As the next signature project within Memorial Park’s Master Plan, Memorial Groves will honor the original vision of the Park as a greenspace that pays tribute to Houston’s World War I history, while also adding new recreational amenities, play areas and educational opportunities that will enhance the everyday experience of Park visitors.    Â
The family-friendly event is an excellent opportunity for the public to meet with project experts, view new renderings and ask questions before the project breaks ground in 2026.
Parking:​
Free parking at Cullen Running Trails Center* and Land Bridge* parking lots and along W. Memorial Loop Rd.
*Parking is free for duration of event only.

About Memorial Park’s Ten-Year Plan
Memorial Groves is among a subset of accelerated projects of the Memorial Park Master Plan made possible by the Ten-Year Plan. The Ten-Year Plan enables the design and construction of significant components of the Memorial Park Master Plan and was made possible by a catalyst gift from Kinder Foundation and support from other generous donors. These projects together promote connectivity and resiliency, restore damaged ecologies to provide higher function for the Parkand city, help manage storm water, provide new cultural and recreational amenities, and tell the historical narratives of the people and the land through landscape design.
Memorial Park Conservancy is delivering the Ten-Year Plan projects with its project partners: Houston Parks and Recreation Department, Uptown Houston, and Kinder Foundation. Other completed Ten-Year Plan projects include the 100-acre Clay Family Eastern Glades (opened July 2020); the Sports Complex (opened October 2020); a one-mile segment of the Seymour Lieberman Trail that is now off of Memorial Drive and is an exciting run through the trees and over ravines (opened October 2022); the 100-acre Kinder Land Bridge and Cyvia & Melvyn Wolff Prairie (opened February 2023); and the Running Complex (opened November 2023).
