The Houston Parks and Recreation Department (HPARD) will host the grand reopening of Brock Park on Saturday, May 6, 2023, from noon to 3 p.m. Brock Park is located at 8201 John Ralston, Houston, TX 77078 in northeast Houston. The new Brock Park has been reimagined as an adventure park, featuring amenities like a ropes course, Ninja Warrior course, a kayak/canoe launch, nature-based programming, and enhanced site security. The park is the first of its kind in the City of Houston.

“The transformation of Brock Park into an adventure park destination is an exciting development for the City of Houston parks landscape,” said Mayor Sylvester Turner. “The amenities that will be available at the park, along with the addition of upgraded event space, will undoubtedly make Brock Park a destination stop for generations of Houstonians looking for unique entertainment options. Thank you to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, and our dedicated Parks team for making this dream a reality.”

Funding for the project was made possible by a $1 million grant from Texas Parks and Wildlife, and funding from the Houston Parks and Recreation Department’s Capital Improvement Fund. Brock Parks sits on 354 acres and features 2,500 square feet of interior space. It is situated about 20 minutes from downtown Houston.

“I believe the Brock Park project is a game-changer for the City of Houston,” said Kenneth Allen, Director, Houston Parks and Recreation Department. “With its focus on adventure sports, nature-based programming, and all of its other attributes, Brock Park is like no other park in Houston. I am just so proud of the Houston Parks and Recreation Department team that helped guide this makeover, and of course, it could not have been done without the generous support of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Thank you all.”

Brock Park was acquired by the City of Houston in 1957. It later became an 18-hole golf course, that has since closed. The park is located in Houston City Council District B, which is represented by City Councilmember Tarsha Jackson. For a closer look at Brock Adventure Park, click: https://youtu.be/MK4tTkHnhNI.
