Background and Discussion:

This planning project will create a master plan for improvements in the existing Bayland Park on Bissonnet Street in Precinct 4. The master plan will provide recommendations for creating an inclusive park with improved facilities, programming, and connectivity to better serve the active and passive recreational and open space needs of the community.

 

Expected Impact:

The goal of this master planning effort is to create a community park with sports facilities that serves the active and leisure recreation needs through design, programming, and connectivity with adjacent neighborhoods. The master plan will help create a community park with sports facilities in Southwest Houston/Harris County improving community health and providing recreational opportunities for the community. The master plan will include a phased implementation strategy with cost estimates, financing, and alternative scenarios for park concepts.

 

Alternative Options:

To invest in park improvements without a master plan.
