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 the Brookhaven Subdivision Meeting on June 11, 2025, a pop-up event and zumba class in the park on June 21, 2025, and a community listening session at First Missionary Baptist Church on July 6, 2025. Planned improvements were informed by the feedback received. Special thanks to all who assisted with this effort.
