Pedestrian/Cyclist Bridge
Memorial Park Conservancy and the Houston Parks and Recreation Department are creating a "living bridge" across Memorial Drive near the west entrance. Designed by Clark Condon Associates, this bridge will provide pedestrian/bicycle access within Memorial Park. An existing parking lot located adjacent to the Southern Pacific railroad tracks south of Memorial Drive combined with a depressed major thoroughfare, poses an ideal location for an at-grade bridge crossing. This bridge project resolves two major issues, pedestrian safety and improved utilization of exisitng park facilities.

Tennis "Center" Plaza
Renovations to the tennis center plaza will provide a paved plaza, commemorating donor pavers (to purchase a paver, please go to "Tennis Plaza Renovation" button on the right of the home page), along with native trees and landscaping to welcome visitors.

Running/Trails Center
The Running Trails Center will be designed to meet LEED standards and will feature locker rooms and a food concession.

Outer Trail
An all-weather outer loop trail is planned to mirror the SeymourLeiberman Exer-Trail on the opposite side of Memorial Loop East. This trail will provide additional miles of usable trails within the park itself, giving users an alternative to the trail along the busy Memorial Drive and heavy traffic emissions.  The trails will be widened and given a hard edge that will blend with the surrounding landscape. Handicapped accessibility will be included in all design plans.

Notice to Prospective Donors
Please note that specific projects may have recognized naming opportunities that exceed project costs. Any additional funds will be directed toward the other capital projects as the campaign progresses.
