MEET OUR FOUNDING BOARD. JOIN A COMMITTEE
Friends of Cleveland Park is a Texas nonprofit founded in 2025
Cleveland 125 is a seven-year plan launched in 2025 to prepare for Cleveland Park's Quasquicentennial Celebration. Sadly, Funding for Neighborhood Parks in Houston is scarce. Our goal is to engage our neighborhood and seek funding through memberships, grants, private donor sponsors, and foundations. Donations are tax-deductible. Our park is beautiful; it's big compared to other neighborhoods, it's busy, and it's beloved. It desperately needs a makeover and a master plan. We are proud to have been a part of every improvement you've seen in the park since the court resurfacing and pickleball addition in December 2023. We welcomed a Houston Mayor for the third time in the Park's history in April 2025, and we're proud to be mentioned as one of the cleanest neighborhood parks in the City of Houston. Please join us on this journey.

Committee's : PUBLIC ART
Cleveland Park Public Art Committee
I'm a giant fan of public art in parks. Maybe it's my years living on Canyon Road above Meyer Gallery, maybe it's that Randa Road Trip to NOLA's Sculpture Garden, but one thing is certain.
We have a beautiful park that needs a signature piece like the one on the right headed to Mason Park. It'a a $20 Million win for HPARD, for Houston, and for Mason Park.
I know the committee we are sending invites to this month to join us has the contacts to help us add something amazing. Even a loaner piece would be great for now.
-The Committee's Charge for the esteemed group is simple-
"Land something amazing and work to get it funded."
Our Mayor was wowed by the hill overlooking the city in the park a few months back. We do have the perfect spot. We have some amazing artists and Gallery Owners on the invite list, and hope they will accept and join us

Cleveland Park Legacy Fund
- “Public art in parks isn’t just about adding color; it’s about transforming spaces into dynamic, living canvases that inspire creativity and spark connection. These artistic installations turn ordinary parks into vibrant cultural hubs, where people of all ages come together to engage, reflect, and celebrate local identity. Imagine strolling through a park where every sculpture, mural, or installation tells a story, connects you to nature, and encourages conversations. It’s not just visually stunning—it’s an experience that boosts mental well-being, fosters community pride, and makes every visit to the park feel like an adventure. Public art truly transforms our parks into places of imagination, inspiration, and unforgettable moments.”
Congrats on this big SCORE HPARD & Mason Park!
I'll be the first in line the day it opens.

Trees are coming
On Saturday February 7 we launched our tree program to raIse a minimum of $5000 for Trees for Houston and a race to get them in the ground before season end (30 before March 25). Help Us Bring Shade Back to Cleveland Park
We’re raising $5,000 to plant at least 30 new trees in Cleveland Park with Trees for Houston. Their team will handle permitting, tree selection, professional planting, and two full years of watering and care—so these trees don’t just get planted, they survive and thrive.
If you love this park like we do, we’re asking you to step up and help restore the canopy we’ve lost. Wit
