COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Community engagement is at the heart of Let’s Play Houston to ensure improvements are responsive to the community’s park needs. Houston Parks Board partnered with local civic organizations and the council district office to gather feedback through a survey and various events in the neighborhood, including a community listening session at the Brays Village East HOA Clubhouse on June 18, 2025. Planned improvements were informed by the feedback received. Special thanks to all who assisted with this effort.
