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.
