Through over 1,200 community interactions, the project team heard what Houstonians want and need from MacGregor Park. Following this comprehensive and community-driven master plan process, Houston City Council approved the plan for renovations in December 2023. Visit the project webpage here for more details on the renovations: MacGregor Park – Houston Parks Board. Houston Parks Board and the project partners are proceeding with design this year, and construction is estimated to begin in 2025. Fundraising is well underway to fund the $54 million project. The Kinder Foundation contributed a $27 million catalyst gift, providing initial momentum for the project. Houston Parks Board is committed to raising $12.5 million from individuals, corporations, and private foundations. https://houstonparksboard.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ff3d9c70ba822b9ef8125bc31&id=4b4de729cb&e=f112f532e6
