HURRICANE BERYL RECOVERY UPDATE
The Houston Parks and Recreation Department is working hard to address the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl. We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding during this time as crucial resources are directed to support citywide disaster recovery, relief, and tree emergency efforts on streets and roads. Park condition assessments, repairs, and maintenance are underway.
As we move forward with recovery and reopening facilities, HPARD’s staff is committed to returning services as they were before the storm.
For the time being, all park permits and reservations are pending, until park conditions are determined to be safe. Public safety and the well-being of our community are the top priorities and HPARD appreciates your support. For park permit inquiries, email prpermits@houstontx.gov.
