Centennial Campaign for Hermann Park
Hermann Park Conservancy set out in 1992 to complete the vision imagined by the Park's early planners. Prestigious landscape architect Laurie Olin developed a master plan to revive the historic Park and guide all improvements. Adopted in 1995, the new plan aimed to increase accessibility, restore the Park's historical elements, encourage community activity through new gathering spaces and increased services, and maintain the Park through thoughtful stewardship programs. Through a public-private partnership with the City of Houston, the Conservancy has secured $93 million toward a $100.7 million goal for phase 2 of the Centennial Campaign for Hermann Park. Half of this goal is comprised of public funds, and the Conservancy manages all projects to ensure their success. All projects undertaken by the Conservancy have been completed on time and under budget.
