Houston Parks Board is a Houston-based nonprofit focused on expanding access to quality parks and greenspace across the Greater Houston region. It works to create, improve, protect, and advocate for parkland, drawing on public-private partnerships and relationships with philanthropic, government, and community stakeholders formed since its founding in 1976. The board leads the Bayou Greenways 2020 project, an effort to establish a 150-mile network of connected parks and trails along Houston’s major waterways. It serves residents and communities in the Greater Houston area by expanding access to parks and greenspaces and enhancing outdoor recreation and green infrastructure. It collaborates with local organizations and government partners and operates as a mid-sized nonprofit based in Houston, with recent activity including a 2024 partnership with BikeHouston to install bike and pedestrian counters around the city.
