We have some exciting updates on ongoing improvements to our park.
Previously when you walked on parts of our park you never knew what you were going to find...old rusted saw blades, broken glass, chunks of concrete, snarling vines...but all of that is changing!

The land that is Wagner Greenspace is slowly becoming a respectable space everyone can use safely and comfortably.
The last few weeks have brought exciting changes and updates:
Community Cleanup
The Community Clean-up on April 29 made a significant dent in the debris and vines that were cluttering our park. You may not have thought there was much junk out there, but take a look at these pictures to see just some of what we picked up. A big thank you to everyone who came out.

HPARD Improvements
Houston Parks and Recreation Department (HPARD) has indicated they will take care of some of the bigger issues. Although there is no exact timeline for this, we suspect it will be fairly soon.
- Remove the dead trees and trim the overgrown trees
- Level the land where there are low spots and holes. This is particularly important as we enter mosquito season.

Fundraising
Currently we are working with setting up an account with a non profit so that we can begin fundraising for the capital improvements in the park (think walking path, play-spaces, swings, etc).
Landscape Design
Finally we are also working on getting professional estimates and designs for developing the space. To see what we presented to the Parks Department in February as an initial idea check out our "
Vision Page"
Go out and enjoy
So, while the weather is still fairly nice - grab a chair and a nice beverage and go out and enjoy the space. You no longer need to wonder about what 'strange things' are polluting the Wagner Greenspace.
