After lots of planning, fundraising and volunteer landscaping efforts, Bell Park has a brand new look – cleaner, greener and more inviting for all who live near by or visit the shops and restaurants in our area. And it’s all thanks to a long list of dedicated volunteers, fundraisers and donors.
If you haven’t been by, be sure to walk or jog through soon. You’ll see neatly mulched beds near Montrose, shrubs in new places and several beautiful plantings surrounding the pond – all being watered by a newly installed irrigation system. It looks good now and just wait till spring!
The project shows the power of collaboration – between MAMA, the Montrose Management District, the Houston Parks Board and the City of Houston Parks and Recreation Department. It has taken the efforts of all these entities to create the plan as well as many generous contributions from MAMA members, neighborhood businesses and other friends to realize it.
Thanks, everybody. We did it!
