Parks are where we celebrate the things that matter. They are where we celebrate birthdays. Where we join a running group. Where we take our children to fly a kite for the first time. Where we feel the bright sun on our faces, and remember to slow down and enjoy the lives we've created for ourselves and each other.

Join Houston Parks Board in launching “Let’s Get Closer,” a city-wide campaign to share stories about Houstonians' favorite and most meaningful park moments.

Why? Because our community is a network of humans from every part of the globe. We’re showcasing as many people in as many neighborhoods along as many winding paths as possible. We’ll capture your stories and share them on our website for you to share with even more people. That joy is infectious. That joy gets us closer to each other. That joy starts with you.
