brian0123 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I was there probably the same time you were today. First time I've been to the new gardens and couldn't believe how awesome the place is. Seemed like there were a lot of tourists around as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunstar Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 What's going on with the entrance to Herman park? It seems like the work came to a halt. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 So, yesterday I wrote to the Hermann Park Conservancy about my concern about the stall in the Grand Gateway project and to share my enthusiasm for the work being done at the Japanese Gardens (one of Houston's best, little know amenity). I received a following prompt and detailed answer from Meghan Miller, Director of Development: Not able to Copy and Paste, so I'll summarize... She says that the Grand Gateway hit some delays when the TxDOT contractor abandoned the job, which led to substantial delays soliciting a new one. New contractor "Bio Landscape" is on it now and starting some "covert" work in the fall and is now actually doing a lot of work between the Sam Houston Statue and Mecom Fountain. Work, also started last week on the Fountain. The contractor hopes to finish this this portion of the project by the Spring. Nice response. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'm really looking forward to the revitalized Japanese Gardens.. I had no idea it was going on until I tried to go to there a little while back and it was all fenced off. Speaking of fenced off.. Are they expanding the Japanese Garden section or what all is in the plan for renovations? Construction fences extended out much further than the existing boundaries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naviguessor Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Cloud.Yes. They are expanding, making an Event Lawn Redoing the Front Entrance as well as adding another entrance on the West/Fannin side of the Garden. I think it is all outline of the Conservancy's website. I'm excited about it too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 From the Conservancy's website: The first phase of renovations to enhance the Japanese Garden began on November 9 and will be completed in early summer 2016. Portions of the garden will be blocked for safety during construction. Additional renovations are planned to add a new entrance to the garden, an event lawn, a dry stream garden, and more. The Conservancy is actively fundraising for these renovations and is anticipating final completion by the garden’s 25th anniversary in 2017. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmitch94 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Great news! The Japanese gardens are (or were) already very nice. I can't wait to see the finished product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't attend it this week, primarily because it's not being held until next week. ;-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X.R. Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I've always wondered what that plot of trees was for. You can currently ride a bike or jog through it, but no one is ever over there, other than maybe coming out of that building. You might see a jogger or two making their way back to TMC. This would resolve the common complaint I hear from friends/family who come to the park, that there isn't anywhere to really let the dogs loose. Very mindful/thoughtful of HPC! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hindesky Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Found 2 projects under construction in Hermann Park. Parking lot near the Zoo and another one by the golf course. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houston19514 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I think the construction in the second pic is related to the renovation of the old clubhouse building. https://www.hermannpark.org/plans-projects/historic-clubhouse/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
