2017 Annual Report HOUSTON ZOO Our Houston Zoo Is Vibrant, Growing, and Touching Hearts and Minds to Make a Difference for People and Animals Alike
2017 Annual Report HOUSTON ZOO Our Houston Zoo is vibrant, growing, and touching hearts and minds to make a difference for people and animals alike. In 2017, more than 2.4 million guests walked through our gates, many of them free of charge or at greatly reduced admission. Despite extreme weather events like Hurricane Harvey impacting our attendance results, the Houston Zoo remains the second- most visited zoo in the United States among those that charge admission. It’s clear that this urban oasis in the heart of our city remains top-of-mind for Houstonians and out-of-town visitors looking to share new memories while connecting with nature. Having a dedicated base of support from our community helped us achieve laudable success saving wildlife locally and around the world in 2017. We released more than 900,000 Houston toad eggs into the wild to ensure the survival of these native Texas amphibians. Our veterinary team provided medical care for more than 80 injured or stranded sea turtles. We saw tangible results from our long-term support of mountain gorillas in Africa and elephant populations in Borneo. And a strong culture of conservation is evident throughout our organization as team members from many different departments participated in conservation action opportunities. In 2017, we made significant facility upgrades around the Zoo for guests and animals. We opened Explore the Wild, a nature play area specially created to inspire children to engage with the natural world around them. An expansion of the McNair Asian Elephant Habitat added a new barn, swimming pool, and spacious exhibit yard for our bull elephants.

Thinking back to the early 1990s, Park lovers joined forces to return a then-deteriorating Hermann Park to its rightful place in the community – vibrant, beautiful, expansive! Today, Hermann Park is thriving with over 6 million visitors each year. It is heartening to know more and more people are enjoying the Park in all its wonder. Hermann Park has always been a place of tranquility – a haven of nature in the midst of a thriving, growing city. Whether strolling along the shores of the McGovern Lake, taking a reflective walk in the Japanese Garden, watching the fish and birds that call the Park home, Hermann Park continues to hold treasures for Houstonians native and new. Now, a new chapter opens for Hermann Park. Natural habitats again take center stage – combined with enhanced concepts of “play” as well as access and mobility – as the lifeblood of a living, breathing, ever-evolving gathering place for everyone…thanks to the efforts of Hermann Park Conservancy with its many dedicated supporters and partners.

Critical Placemaking Winter — 2018 CRITICAL PLACEMAKING: STEPHEN FOX's FAVOURITE PLACES in HOUSTON
58 Critical Placemaking Winter — 2018 CRITICAL PLACEMAKING: STEPHEN FOX'S FAVOURITE PLACES IN HOUSTON When Ernesto Alfaro asked me to write about my five favorite places in Houston, I made a list and came up with an absolute minimum of fourteen. In subsequent conversation with Ernesto and Raj Mankad, the focus of the assignment shifted as the concept of place, the theme of this issue, was emphasized. As common a word as “place” is, defining it is tricky, especially without resorting to tautology (a “place” is a “place” is a “place”). Ernesto proposed the concept “creative placemaking,” one that he pursues in the practice of landscape architecture. He noted, however, that this phrase has generated resistance, which led the three of us to debate the conceptual place of phenomenal place in the construction of place (back to tautology again). Therefore I feel compelled to precede 1. Banks of Buffalo Bayou in Memorial Park 2.

The Commons at Hermann Park Project Naming Opportunities May 2019
The Commons at Hermann Park Project Naming Opportunities May 2019 Project Introduction The Commons at Hermann Park is a 26-acre area in the southwest portion of Hermann Park. Conceived by landscape architects Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, the project will transform this currently under-utilized area into a welcoming destination and threshold into Hermann Park, drawing visitors from the Texas Medical Center and its new TMC3 facility, Rice University and its new Innovation District in Midtown, and adjacent neighborhoods. The new site will include improved park entry at the corner, expanded parking, public art spaces, new food services, a destination play area for children, expanded picnic areas, spacious wood decking under historic live oaks, open areas of trees and lawn, and extensive enrichments to the southern and western shores of McGovern Lake. These major developments – thematically organized below – will lead improvements to the overall experience, function, and integration of this area of Hermann Park.
