I ATMEMORIALPARKMEMORIAL PARK CONSERVANCY2015 ANNUAL REPORT

With 1,500 acres of forest, cycling and running trails, ballfields, picnic areas, and public spaces, Memorial Park is one of the largest urban sanctuaries in the United States. It is nearly twice the size of New York’s Central Park and equally important to the city. Its size, location, and composition distinguish it from other local parks and also make it unique nationally.

Memorial Park has played an important role in Houston’s ecological, economic and cultural history, serving as a home for Native Americans and as a training camp for soldiers in World War I named Camp Logan. Today, Memorial Park truly serves ALL Houstonians. Visitors enjoy the Park’s urban wilderness—which blends multiple regional ecology types, including woodland forest and native plant species—as well as an array of activities that range from running and cycling to croquet, volleyball and bird watching. Memorial Park hosts 4 million visitors per year and, as Houston’s largest urban park, serves as a critical civic asset.

The mission of the Memorial Park Conservancy is to preserve, restore, and enhance Memorial Park for the enjoyment of all Houstonians, today and tomorrow. Our vision is to implement principles of world-class park management and stewardship in partnership with the Houston community.

ABOUT MEMORIAL PARK CONSERVANCY

Dear Friends of Memorial Park Conservancy:

12015 ANNUAL REPORT

Letter from the Board Chairman

In April of 2015, fans and supporters of Memorial Park celebrated

Houston City Council’s approval of the long-range master plan, directing

the future of our Park. I am overjoyed to share this success with all who have

contributed to Memorial Park Conservancy during our 2015 fiscal year.

Memorial Park is able to be the oasis that it is, and serve the needs of

a wide variety of Houstonians, because of the support of the philanthropic

community. Memorial Park Conservancy fills a vital role in maintaining and

improving Memorial Park in partnership with the Houston Parks and

Recreation Department, Uptown Houston TIRZ and City of Houston.

This is no small task, and includes caring for the ecological health of

nearly 1,500 acres, monitoring trail systems, providing general maintenance,

controlling invasive species, coordinating volunteer groups and managing

the many issues that arise day-to-day in one of the largest urban parks in

the nation. We steward future caretakers through dynamic programs such

as our Friends of Memorial Park membership group and Urban Wild, geared

towards young professionals and the young at heart. We continue work on

significant improvements, including progression of the master plan.

The mission of the Memorial Park Conservancy is to preserve, restore

and enhance Memorial Park for the enjoyment of all Houstonians, today

and tomorrow. Our vision is to implement principles of world-class park

management and stewardship in partnership with the Houston community.

The Conservancy is taking major steps into making Memorial Park, your

Park, into a premier park in Houston and beyond.

Thanks to friends like you we will be able to maintain the Park’s

unique natural resources and landscapes. Public and private support for

Memorial Park is critical to ensuring that tomorrow’s generation has a

beautiful and enduring urban green space. On behalf of the Conservancy’s

Board of Directors and staff, thank you for your support of Memorial Park.

With sincere gratitude,

Steve JenkinsChairman, Board of DirectorsMemorial Park Conservancy
