ABOUT THE PARK

Levy Park has long been a hidden gem for the Upper Kirby District area. A premium public green space in the heart of inner-city Houston, Levy Park is currently undergoing a complete renovation that will create an active and vibrant gathering place for the immediate community and an entertainment and recreation destination for the City of Houston.

The Upper Kirby Redevelopment Authority, in partnership with the Upper Kirby District  Foundation,

(a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization focused on community and quality of life improvements) is funding over $12 million in public park amenities to transform Levy Park into a world-class urban space.

Redevelopment of the park will feature curated, year-round programming, native landscaping and botanical experiences, one of a kind children’s play, interactive water features, a performance pavilion, an event lawn, a community garden and dog park. read more »

Funding for the park’s redevelopment will be a public/private partnership. The Upper Kirby Redevelopment Authority—a local government corporation—will manage the construction of the park and fund the improvements in part. The Upper Kirby District Foundation—a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit—will spearhead private fundraising.

A special thanks to the City of Houston’s Mayors Bill White and Annise Parker, City of Houston Parks and Recreation Department, Joe Turner, Houston Endowment, Houston Galveston Area Council, The Project for Public Spaces and you for envisioning a park for all!
