About Evelyn's Park:

When the historic Teas Nursery decided to close their business in December 2009, Bellaire residents, Jerry and Maury Rubenstein, through the Jerry and Maury Rubenstein Foundation, seized the opportunity to save a piece of Bellaire and Houston history by acquiring the 5-acre site with the vision of maintaining a green space in the heart of the city, and to honor their mother Evelyn. The land was donated by the Rubenstein Foundation to the City of Bellaire on the condition that it would be developed as a park, a beautiful, safe and quiet respite for its surrounding communities.

Evelyn's Park is about honoring the past, when people walked or biked to the park and kicked a ball or had a picnic. Evelyn's park is also about recapturing community by having a central gathering place with state of the art facilities for recreation and events, where neighbor meets neighbor. It looks to the future by restoring green space, improving the environment, and planting native trees and flora.

Evelyn's Park open space design will provide a rich outdoor experience for all Houston citizens with connectivity to existing bike and pedestrian trails within a 5-mile radius. Research has shown that city parks and open space improve our physical and psychological health, strengthen our communities and make our cities and neighborhoods more attractive places to live and work. The park represents a once in a lifetime opportunity to reclaim a 5 acre tract of land inside the loop for public use which will benefit current and future visitors.
