MATZKE PARK

This 22 acre Harris County Precinct Four park was a joint project with the Association for Better Community Schools. The landscape architect’s role was to work with the 2 organizations to create a master plan for a multi-phase development of the park. The plan delineates areas dedicated to competition soccer fields complete with separate picnic, parking and support play facilities. A separate area of the park serves as a community family park including picnic pavilions, restrooms, walking/jogging trail, special gardens and playgrounds. Planting and earthforms are used to help provide a sense of separation from 2 adjoining busy roads. Jim Patterson directed the master plan design while principal at Knduson & Associates.
