Houston Memorial Park

Memorial Park/Crestwood

Memorial Park is one of the largest urban parks in the United States. The park covers about 1,466 acres inside the 610 Loop. It was originally designed by landscape architects Hare & Hare of Kansas City, Missouri.

From 1917 to 1923, the land that is now Memorial Park was the site of Camp Logan, a WWI training camp for the U.S. Army. After the war, in early 1924, Will and Mike Hogg purchased 1,503 acres of former Camp Logan land and sold the area to the city at cost. In May 1924, the City of Houston took ownership of the land to be used as a "memorial" park dedicated to the memory of the soldiers who lost their lives in WWI.
