Why Your Support Matters: Your support enables HPB to continue its vital mission to expand, protect, and improve parks and greenspace in Houston. Over the past year, we’ve made significant strides, including expanding the Bayou Greenways with 150 miles of trails, upgrading over 20 neighborhood parks in underserved areas, and progressing on regional park projects. These efforts ensure that our parks are accessible, responsive to community needs, and part of a sustainable urban environment.
Celebrating Achievements and Looking Ahead: This year’s luncheon celebrates these achievements and looks ahead to future projects like the exciting plan to reimagine MacGregor Park. This initiative is part of our broader vision for an interconnected network of parks, trails, and greenspaces that foster a more resilient and equitable
Special Guest Speaker: We are honored to have Walter Hood, a distinguished Landscape Designer, and MacArthur fellow, as our guest speaker. He brings a wealth of experience from notable projects across the country and is deeply involved in the redesign of MacGregor Park, enhancing its historical significance to Houston and America.
