editor Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 12 hours ago, X.R. said: Man, I appreciate the working thats been done but 2024? Doesn't that seem a bit slow? Memorial built a land bridge in a two year span, meanwhile at Hermann it looks like they've mostly just moved dirt around and cleared stuff away and its been closed for most of this year. Just feels like Memorial got deeper pockets to get things done. i went by there yesterday, and it's s lot of heavy construction and literally making mounds out molehills. Much concrete work going on. "How do we bring a public park closer to nature? Let's pour concrete!" — pretty much the most Houston though ever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post hindesky Posted April 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2023 "The bar has been raised for green spaces in Houston. Discovery Green, Buffalo Bayou Parks and Memorial Park have all been expanded or improved. Now Hermann Park will soon reveal a $52 million project that includes an innovative play area. Behind a tall fence that runs along Fannin and Cambridge streets, dozens of workers, earth-moving machines and horticulturists are working on the newest improvement to one of Houston’s marquee parks: the 26-acre Hermann Commons at Hermann Park. Work has been underway for a year now, and portions of the project are taking shape, as 12-foot concrete sidewalks have been poured and trees and plants have been put in place at the Fannin entrance across from the Memorial Hermann Professional Building." https://www.houstonchronicle.com/lifestyle/home-design/article/hermann-park-s-52-million-project-17836815.php#photo-23576343 Architect - https://www.marlonblackwell.com 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Dog Park, work hasn't even started yet but I think it's because Centerpoint or a contractor for them is standing up and stringing new high voltage electrical towers. That is what you see in the background. Need to update the sign. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X.R. Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 I reallllly hope that concrete on the launch pad is covered by something spongey and soft because yikes, that is going to suck otherwise. Its nice that they are already replanting trees, that's a good sign. I just can't shake how much the length of time is bothering me when compared to all the improvements they recently made at Memorial Park. Early 2024 doesn't even look possible based on those pics. That area has been closed a long time already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naviguessor Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 ^^ Why wouldn't they!? These are professionals doing this. So, trust that they will make good and informed decisions. Also, probably doesn't make sense to pay overtime to get a park done early. Remember reading the same type of concerns when the Memorial Park tunnels were under construction and some contributors here were hoping that the designers there thought about details like, protecting pedestrians from falling onto the roadway from above. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Forney is the construction company building this and they were also the construction manger at risk for the renovations at the Discovery Greens playground area. https://forneyconstruction.com/portfolio/discovery-green/ 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
