The enhancement and beautification of existing parks and pedestrian spaces as well as development of a new park and greenspaces per the Parks Master Plan developed by Clark Condon Landscape Architects in 2021. This project is being implemented in phases in collaboration with the City of Houston Parks and Recreation Department.

TIRZ 8 has already successfully completed park enhancements across four parks within its boundary. Notable improvements were made at Charlton, Glenbrook, Reveille, and Sims Bayou Parks. Glenbrook improvements included resurfacing of the playground, minor play equipment enhancements, and new seating at the playground. Reveille Park received a replacement of the playground surfacing and drainage systems, minor playground equipment upgrades, repainting of the shade pavilion, sidewalk improvements, and new site furnishings, as well as a new basketball court and goals. Charlton and Sims Bayou Parks had their playground equipment and surfacing entirely replaced in Phase 1, setting the stage for forthcoming enhancements currently in the design phase. Phase 2 of Sims Bayou Park will feature an expanded playground, shade pavilion, a spacious open lawn, new pedestrian walkways, a loop trail for leisurely strolls, parking lot improvements, new site furnishings, enhanced drainage systems, and the addition of trees throughout the park. Currently in the design phase, the project is anticipated to be under construction in late 2026. Also slated for construction in 2025 are improvements to Cullinan Park and Golfview Park. A brand new five acre park is slated for development in 2026.

This project is in partnership with the City of Houston Parks and Recreation Department. This project represents $8.5 million in community improvements when completed.

Status: Phase I is complete. Phase II is in design.
