Memorial Park's new Kinder Land Bridge and Cyvia and Melvyn Wolff Prairie open to the...
Thomas Woltz, landscape architect and owner of Nelson Byrd Woltz Landscape Architects, sits on a block in the Emily Clay Family Scramble on Friday, Feb. 10, 2023, at the Kinder Land Bridge in Memorial Park in Houston.Drivers traveling through the park on Memorial Drive have seen the tunnels and land bridge take shape over the past 18 months, as big slices of cast concrete were put into place and covered with several feet of soil.
On Friday, the city of Houston and Memorial Park Conservancy, gave a sneak preview of the park's newest amenities.A community picnic will mark the opening of the land bridge and native prairieParking: Woltz's team began with thoughts of the 2011 drought that killed a good deal of the park's tree canopy. Soon after, they pivoted to understand the other extreme with major flooding events that included Hurricane Harvey.
The land bridges were designed for humans and wildlife alike, to make crossing north and south over Memorial Drive safer. The enormous structures made it possible to create more walking/jogging/biking paths, viewing stations and bird blinds for enjoying nature plus lawn space where anyone can sit and enjoy nature.
A late addition to the project was the idea that the tops of the land bridges could be used by those who want to witness sunrise on the equinox and solstice each year.
