Memorial Park plan seeks 20 year nature reconnection
Houston landscape architect Thomas Woltz unveils a long range plan to reconnect Memorial Park across Memorial Drive with a grass and tree land bridge and restore damaged ecology. The project, backed by Memorial Park Conservancy and city partners, aims to reestablish Karankawa era habitats, reduce water use, and relocate high activity areas to protect fragile bayou ecologies. A series of public meetings set design reveals through March while funding estimates range up to 150 million dollars.
