Houston’s Memorial Park, haven of joggers, turtles and squirrels, is the subject of a twenty-year master plan, unveiled yesterday by representatives of Memorial Park Conservancy, Uptown Houston Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) and Houston Parks and Recreation Department. Designed by landscape architecture firm Nelson Byrd Woltz, the plan will unite the parts of the park sundered by Memorial Drive with a “land bridge” allowing park users and animals to migrate. The plan will be submitted for approval by City Council in spring 2015. No word that public art will be any part of it, though.
